Now I am lost

[johanerik]

Have been doing this for a while now and the most hit 58 days without porn.
But somehow when I am stressful I can not manage to resist without falling back.
Feels like I've tried everything and does not quite reach the goal.

Have tried become free of porn for a couple of years, but constantly falling back. Specially during periods of stress and when I'm very happy (soubnds strange right?).

Any ti? hoe you manage the hard time during your reboot?

I avoid triggers, wear a belt and try not to argue with myself over not fapping only when the urges are really bad.
When I believe it's getting really close to relapse I go for example to the gym (which I already visit 2x a week) or take a shower.

I too experienced stronger urges than usual during the last couple of days. What did I do? Well, gladly I didn't cave entirely and "only" read some sex-related articles, because I tried to remind myself why I am going through with this in the first place (I MO'd anyway). Speaking your thoughts out loud is always good and helps you realize what you're doing. Apart from that, reading other guys' accounts on this or similar forums is also a way to mentally underline the benefits that are in this process for you.
Exercising - of course. If you feel like you're about to burst, do some push-ups until the worst is over.

It's not so odd you also watch when you are very very happy, it's because when you're happy you probably feel like you can handle / take everything. You have more confidence. And you can get overconfident about your situation and not think it is a problem at that time, because when your happy problems feel less like problems.
