I definitely have triggers haha....Kik, Yahoo "Trending" section for hot females, working out at the gym with hot women (can't avoid this one, thankfully I'm in public and can just squash my urges with lifting).

yup it is normal.
but it may lead to our PMO habit again.
unless we are rebooted completely, it is dangerous to look at girls. potential triggers.

Caved again at the 2 week mark -_- This has seriously been so hard.....Yesterday was incredibly rough. My mom has been fighting leukemia the past 15 months and after a visit to the hospital yesterday it just haven't been able to kick this funk I've been in. I was just lounging around today and PMO sounded like it'd help me feel better.....it didn't of course...just worse blah.

Keep fighting!
I've found that Facebook typically isn't too bad, but I tent to browse the "Discover" section of Instagram which is flooded with sexually charged pictures of women so I'm doing my best to avoid that. I've also heard that what we're trying to stay away from is the thrill of porn- searching, obsessing over it etc. Seeing a random picture of a girl on FB or Insta is just that, a random coincidence. Still something to avoid, but not going to set you back too far.

@Maritime. That makes total sense. I know what you mean with the "Discover" section. That's exactly how I am with yahoo's "Trending" haha sounds pathetic when I say it out loud -_- I get a little adrenaline rush when i see more promiscuous pictures of women and it makes me seek more. Thanks for the input man. Trying to stay strong and chatting with others on here helps so much

@NewAdam. Thanks. I have not. Facebook hasn't really led to any triggers and I use it to keep in contact with several people. I had the porn blocker that people suggest on here, i forget what it's called but had troubles with it blocking more than just porn, it would block normal content on non permiscuous sites so i got rid of it

Haha it's not pathetic at all man, just the result of porn messing with our heads. I feel the same way pretty much every time I pick up my phone, I've debated trying to not use it for a few weeks to really go hard on shutting down addiction pathways but that'd be pretty tough. Same here though, stay strong!

Thanks for the feed back Maritime. It just sounds so odd ha. That's probably really smart not using your phone if it's one of your triggers. Can you do that without any consequences? Like do you need it to contact people or for work? Thanks again for the support!
Just an update since I'm here. Today is day 4 already. This week has gone by really fast and I've been busy with work, tv shows and looking at how to start investing and buying shares, it's actually a lot of fun. I haven't had many urges and it's a little odd, I feel like I've flatlined already. Is that even possible? I've had a girl want to come over and "hang out" at my apartment but I just flat out said no. I also turned down a date with another pretty girl yesterday. I have 0 interest right now for some odd reason. It's kind of nice actually because I have been able to focus on work and working out.

Hey NoPMO4Love,
looks like your right back on track. Just an update for me I finally cave and had some dark days recently. lol its hasn't been too bad and I'm going to go right back on it. As for the turning down the girls invites right now, Are you trying to go on hard mode where you don't O at all for a while? If not, you should try going out with them it might help. You want to rewire your brain to real girls, so it might help. Also, it is possible to be in a flatline already. I feel the same way, I have felt this way basically ever since I have been trying to quit. They say that the relapses set you back and it might make your flatlines last longer. Well keep up the good work and I'll try to post more often, sry just been a bit busy.

@JHAll thanks man. I actually had 2 relapse since the initial get go but they were consistent, I had a good week or 2 between. You'll get back up on that horse as well man! keep at it. I've been swamped too sorry for not posting on your blog man! I will consider the hanging out with women thing. I am actually hanging out with a female friend tonight so we'll see how that goes! I agree though that I need to rewire to real women so I see what you're saying there for sure!
@Mtaha I couldn't agree more! haha I actually dig flatlining, just don't want to get in an awkward situation if I end up hooking up with a girl haha.
@NeverSurrender. Thanks a ton man I appreciate it!
Just an update. Today will be day 5 and I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. Tonight I'm grabbing some drinks with my female friend, tomorrow I'll be in LA and Sunday is Easter. I have a few things on my to do list also that should keep me busy. I haven't had many urges but unfortunately when i get bored i think about porn still. I've been working out pretty hard the past 4 or 5 weeks now and am seeing awesome results so it's giving me a huge confidence boost. Thanks for reading and the support everyone
