It Actually Happened and I Feel Weird About It.

I’m 27 years old, I’ve never had a wet dream before tonight. But sure enough, I woke up to one having happened tonight. I was just there as another guy got talked through this on here. It was all cerebral to me then: It’s involuntary, there’s no reason to feel shame for a second, most people’s body will do that sooner or later if they’re not doing anything while awake, there’s NO reason to think you should reset, etc. Well, it happened to me, and there I was feeling shame before anything else, too. I started asking myself if there was any thing I could have done to have prevented it at least for now, and I had been a bit more lax with managing my internal fantasies, and had not gone to sleep well-prepared as I usually do, but just sat down in my bed and drifted off. I get the sense that maybe this is a warning that I had been starting to fail, that my heart had already crossed a line I thought I had merely drifted a bit closer towards. And on the other hand, this has never happened to me before because at any prior moment in my life I would have given in consciously and awake by now. So there is still progress, but maybe that’s another thing being pointed out to me: it’s progress, not perfection. Maybe I’ve been a bit too proud of my progress so far, and needed a bit of humbling. Anyway, now I’m the one questioning if I am supposed to reset. I suppose I’ll think about it and take feedback. Anyway. Thanks for putting up with that weird personal share.

I suppose You is right (heh), It probably doesn’t warrant a reset of this counter even if I can see signs that I was getting more challenged and pent up in hindsight. Still a roller coaster of feelings the first time. To think, I was already addicted so young that I’ve never been sober enough for this to happen before.

No bro Nightfall doesn't count as it is natural process so there is no need to reset . Stay strong on your path soldier✌🏻
