I was on the longest streak I’ve ever been on in my life. I really thought I had it beat. I just relapsed a few moments ago and I don’t feel good about it, but I know that I can come back stronger than ever. I built strong habits during the last streak, and through God’s grace I can pick myself up again. It’s not about how hard you fall, but about what you do after the fall and how you react. The demon of lust has no hold over me in Jesus’ name. Let’s get it fellas!!!
You get those urges because your brain when you start something creates pathways. For example, you see a hot girl on the internet and it triggers something in your mind that urges you to go a step further for temporary pleasure. Everytime you settle for that temporary pleasure, that pathway gets bigger. So because you have been doing this for 3 years, you have many pathways that are really big. The easiest way to quickly get passed this obstacle, is when you get an urge, to refrain from it and do something else that gives you dopamine instead. For example, if you get an urge go workout, or eat a healthy meal, something that gives you a longer lasting happy feeling. I hope this comment treats you well, and god bless.
