I have bad AA. So it got me thinking, why not make some goals to aid to get rid of it? So i thought why not try this: I will not allow myself to masturbate until i have approached 10 women. I mean these could be indirect openers such as asking someone on the street what the time is etc. But by doing this it gives you something to aim at, and also will reduce AA each time you approach.

If you find indirect openers don't help after 10, then why not make it harder, and go direct. Surely you have more confidence to escalate, even if it is extremely gradual. Anyway i was thinking of doing this. I have been trying to remove my AA for ages now, and have got used to not being in the mood to do it despite being motivated the evening before for example. But now i have goals to work at. And i mean it doesn't have to even be masturbation. It can be any positive thing. I remember doing something like this with Psychology before, and think it's Direct reinforcement or something.

But yet, i'll let you know how this goes. Plan to give it a go between Thursday and Sunday. Until then, what do you people think of this? It's all to well saying approach X amount of people. That's kind of why a lot of us are here. So by doing something like this it rewards you for your actions. And you actually have the motivation to do it when you have tied yourself down to no masturbation for example

I worked with my dad meetng people and doing sales when he was alive. When he and my sister passed away in that accident, I did the eulogy, and there was nervousness but, aa is dead for ever. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Stand up in front of a room full of people and pretend I am not sad cause men don't cry. I am not a crying man but, I broke down by myself when I was alone at home. I did all this pick up stuff, cold approach, dates, day 2s, numbers, a sex life but, when I lost my sister and dad, there were no girls in my life. There are no friends around. It was as if nobody cares. When you endure so much pain, you become numb to hurt or upset. I am not going to give up or roll over and die. I am a man and I will make my dad proud one day. I am not scared of nothing any more after doing that and if I had it my way, I would trade places with my dad and sister.
