I just happened to come in this website even though I try staying off as much as possible. Reason for that is simply because i get triggered from the smallest things even from reading different peoples stories here... I'm close to 50 days clean, 2nd highest every for me since joining gye. 

By me trying to forget about this whole issue including recovery is what helps me stay clean, I don't read anything triggering etc, my urge to come onto gye is really lust deep down, seeking to have some sort of outlet.

To start my streak I did the taphsik method which was for 30 days.. since my Rav and therapist weren't too happy with me making shvouahs so I did not extend it. Bh I don't get strong urges often and when i do get small urges, i tell myself that I want to keep my steak especially when i know that once I fall it will be tough getting back up. Also I don't want to start shiduchim if this issue is still an issue..  

Hope I was clear. Feel free to comment

Day 50 wow!!

Last time I fell I was about to give up.. second highest bh since joining gye..

Great accomplishment. You have been one of the greatest inspirations on this site. Keep it up.

Nice keep it up

So first shot I reached 140 then got to 27 then to 43, then to 53, currently I'm at day 1 as I fell Friday night... 

Shhh I made the shavua again for a month even though my Rav is against... Sometimes we need to have מסירת נפש to stop acting out...

The reason I fell was me reading triggering things after my shvuah ended.. so now we're back on track and bh I'm getting better results after each fall.. yay! 

Never, never, never never give up.. tralala who knows that Miami song?

You read triggering stuff in Friday night?

I focus on today, not on tomorrow.
By making a shvua, one can feel that he has to reach his goal.
And then????????????????
That alone can lead to a fall once the goal was met, till the next shvua vikach alah...........

Good luck

@hakol hevel I didn't read inappropriate stuff on Shabbos... It's just a lead up..

And @doing teshuvah for you personally making a shaua won't work however for me amongst others it does work, and the proof is, the only way I stopped acting out after the past two falls was through the shavua...

Great, you should do and continue to do everything that helps you.
I didn't say anything against a Shvua, just in my experience it holds you back for a limited time.
In the beginning that is what we do but in the future you will understand what I mean.

Good luck!

Gut voch,

Has anyone got pain in their (right) knee from excessive mastrubation, or is it just me?

Just you.

Who gave you that diagnosis?

Myself.. well right before joining gye I was acting out excessively and had knee pains after I stopped acting out, the pain went away, last week when I fell I acted out a few times and the pain came back again... I actually read online about this issue when acting out too many times..P.s are you a doctor that knows otherwise? It's easy to say not connected..

Not a doctor.

Search online. They say to stop masturbating while you're standing. Do it while laying on a bed instead.

Additionally, don't use your knees to stimulate yourself.
