Yeah, it's terrible. My schedule is crazy, and I'm very much sleep deprived. But thank God still clean!

What I'm most upset (about myself) is that I know that all these tricks and techniques to fight against lust work really well, as I use them in other areas of my life (ODAAT, half measures, etc) to great success. Yet somehow, when it comes to this battle, it's so much more difficult to apply these tools...

So I haven't been here for close to 10 days, and while there may have been 1 or 2 "good" days it's been pretty tough. While maybe according to the technical letter of the law on what counts as a "fall" for me, I may still be "sober", I have been ridiculously close to the edge and hanging by a thread. I barely even know what to do anymore.

I'm almost telling myself "Maybe I should just act out once, masturbate quickly, and relieve the tension for the next couple of weeks so I can live a normal life. Granted, I know the urge will come back, but at least for a few weeks I won't be consumed by desire".

I just wish there was a way to just turn off this urge. I don't want it to ruin my life and my family.

There is.
There is not one way for each and every one of us though.
For many of us, it comes with a lot of effort and going where we aren't the most comfortable to be (and I'm not referring to physical places, but rather, decisions and actions somewhat out of our comfort zone).

I would like to add to what cordy said: My experience was that the way I "turned off" the urge was by doing one thing. Letting go and letting god. B"h I haven't fought an urge in a long time. I just take a step back and let God do his work. If I fight then I will act out. Not necessarily because of losing, fighting itself just creates such an unrest inside me that I need to act out. My sobriety had been so pleasant and for me there is really no other way. I'd rather act out and not fight than be sober and fighting.
