day 5, confident but awaiting "urge" wave. afraid..

[OSU29]

29 years old. Have had problems with "P" for the last 4 years. Recently out of a relatiosnhip. Committed to learning how to live a life without PMO. I am putting off getting into another relationship until at least after my 90 day reboot.

here is my question, I am in day 5, I feel fine, no urges, no thoughts about it.. I think I maybe in a flatline period.
However, in my past when I have attempted abstinence, after about 10 days, THE URGE TITLE WAVE would hit me hard and I would cave. PLEASE help me now try to be proactive and create a useful plan for when this happens.

Glad all of you are here! I need ya! STAY in this life boat.

Hi. You dont must to worry. If you archieved in the past 10 days without PMO it will be easier now. Just be prepared for this, you can block a P websites on your computer and smartphone to dont be able to watch it when urge comes. Find some alternative to PMO, for a lot of people from this forum working out works great, after a gym or running you wont be ever thinking about PMO. Cold showers work great too. There is more,info on yourbrainonporn about what you cshould do and what,to avoid when urge comes. For me writing journal on this forum is a key to dont PMO when urge comes. You can do it, there are a lot of people here who archieved reboot succesfully. Good luck.

I watched the video with Gabe Deem on the front page of this site today. It had lots of great tips and was generaly inspirational. The one about putting your laptop in a common space of where you live and only using it when there are other people there was a good one imo.
