I relapsed yesterday edging a bit to sexy music clips (around 20 mins). I later had urges to cum (no external stimulation). I disobeyed 4 of my 5 rules (I didnt go outside yesterday).
How did it happen?
Nice weekend, a lot of social moments, hit the gym twice and made nice workouts (and got nice gains!), helped my cousin (girl) visit flats, met her friends, made her meet mine
Awesome party saturday night, talked to 2 girls, invited another one to dance (not my type at all lel but still, I wasnt able to do that before), I later heard that the barmaids talked positively about me, thanks to the gym I felt confident with my (sexy!) body
Shopping with a friend then restaurant with my cousin and her friend (girl) on sunday
I felt that I had strong progress in my attitude, my willpower to get girls (I felt ready to approach, ready to have a girlfriend again), etc.
I started playing guitar again!
but :
I was tired (long day + long night + little sleep)
I was away from my journal for several days so I simply forgot my rules (I don't remember them well enough yet to have them deep in mind when I need them...)
I forgot that I should avoid every stimulation and every orgasm and not only porn & pmo
At least Im glad this was not porn and a bit more realistic, but this is still wrong and I didnt realize it on the moment. In fact, I got aroused by the fact that I had an awesome weekend and that I saw progress with girls, and I celebrated that by masturbating. That was wrong. I have to learn from these mistakes. Somehow I feel ok with it because I just made mistakes I know I can't do again.
I'm a bit sad for my streak. My best was 8 (and not 6 as I wrote before) and I was 2 days from beating it.
So, my new resolutions :
Write here everyday to stay focused on the reboot and avoid relapsing when I get urges
Beware of sleeping enough even on weekends
When I'm horny, I have to do something that will make me closer to get a girlfriend instead of masturbating and losing the willpower to get a girl. I have to remember and realize that masturbating makes me less close to have real sex.
I repeat my rules (to learn them
) :
I don't touch my penis.
Only a girl can make me ejaculate.
I don't edge, I don't look at pictures, I don't look at porn substitutes.
I go outside at least once a day.
I plan my weekends so I have something to wait for and focus on during the week.
So yeah I had a little relapse (but no porn!
I don't feel bad, no headache, no brainfog...) and big, huge, giant, fat, humongous progress on so many levels (social life, family relationships, body, girls, guitar)!
The real bad point that makes me worry is the actual chaser effect. Also a bit too much of internet yesterday.
Oh and the facebook girl has a boyfriend already, haha.
Next weekend already half planned : big party on saturday night.
