I think i've finally found something that works for me on SR, none of the other advice out there really helped me quit and what helped me is really fucking generic advice everyone has heard but I actually tried it and I think im finally free from gooning

A few days ago I relapsed on something like a day 14 streak and I was pissed because I felt like I'd never truly be free from my masturbation addiction, but I think the problem (atleast for me) all along is that I was counting the days. All day long I would obsess over my streak and SR and shit which would create constant stress and fear of relapsing which ironically, only made me more prone to doing so

Also having a streak and counting the days subconsciously tells your mind that youre someone who releases since your counting the days of NOT doing something, which tells your mind that you usually do that thing and that SR is something out of the ordinary

So I've started to not count the days and also not really identify as someone as SR, now I've started to see myself as someone that doesnt have to be on SR because im just someone that doesnt masturbate. Its in the same way of me not being a smoker or drug user, Im just not that kind of person. Every time I feel the urge to fap I just tell myself that I'm not someone that jerks off and the urge becomes tolerable, and whenever I catch myself thinking "oh im on day x" I just remind myself that im someone that just doesnt jerk off so I dont have to count days or whatever

This is the only thing really working for me so far and its made everything a lot easier
