any tips as to what i can replace PMO with?
so i just relapsed again and since ive been on a streak of relapsing every week or when i get horny ive come to realise that i have to replace this compulsive pmo with something else.
the problem is that i dont know what to replace it with. nothing's quite like it.
also, is this technically cheating? replacing pmo with something else? cuz u dont actually gain self control. you just........forget or get distracted from it. you dont actually learn how to manage urges by yourself.
also ive noticed that ive stopped feeling guilt after relapsing. porn, no porn, twice in a day, ive just stopped feeling guilt. my brain goes 'aaaaahhhhh that was fun' while im like 'isnt this harmful for me? am i not just forgetting nofap? am i coming to *like* pmo? why?'
stats:
age 15
in school
dont work out or play sports of any kind
go to school 6 days out of 1 week
usually relapse on sunday or holidays or when my parents are out
