My progress just gets worse and worse. Managed 68 days of no PMO then relapsed and made it another 3 weeks before having a PMO binge for a week or so. Today marked 2 weeks, but I Just relapsed again... Throughout all my tries, head porn and hypersexual thoughts is and are my biggest trigger and downfall to this. I have self control not to want to sit behind a PC and watch videos; however, as I lay in bed at night I don't have the willpower it seems to fight the head porn which causes me a dopamine high and today it was so bad it caused me to PMO (mainly to hypersexual thoughts).... As much as I want to beat this, it's just terribly frustrating and degrading because it's a consistent 2 steps forward and 4 back.....

Hey, sorry to hear the news .
Let me see if I understand this correctly ? So you relapsed to thoughts and masturbation and not to porn, right ?
Hmm, didn't know this is called head porn.
The way I go about thoughts is don't fight them and don't chase after them. Trying to control them can make it worse. You'll find that they will go away much sooner.
You can also try to shift your mental focus towards something else - your breathing or the feeling of your head resting against the pillow.
Once you see that you can't fall asleep, just get out of the bed and engage in a neutral activity - not something exciting (mop the floor or do the dishes). You can return to bed a little later.

Cyrus, I can related to what you wrote. I'm living some dark days lately, but I will not lose hope or give in. I'm gonna recovery!
You did 68 days already, you can do that again. But try not to see yourself as a failure and things like that. I'm saying that because I did that a lot and I'm trying to change. If I relapsed I used to mange my day like everything else was lost or not having any motivation to do other stuff. I think that changing that will help me.
Just want to say that you're not alone. I'm going through some dark moments... but that will pass.
