Jonas The belt helps by making it much more difficult for the body to act out "against your will".
I like to think of it as leveraging the time when my will is strong overcome my weak will later, ie I decide to lock the belt when I am able so later I cannot give in to weakness.
Jonas Have you tried getting an accountability partner to help you to control your habits?
No one other than my wife knows about my belt. I don't know that I could tell anyone as its such a taboo subject, getting people past the whole fetish scene is nearly impossible, which you simply cannot avoid searching for any info on chastity devices and their uses. On the other hand, I am increasingly resolved as to my reasoning for wearing my belt, if someone were to find out I would just explain it to them and try to warn them not to bother with online searches.
I do have a friend who knows about my masturbation and occasionally asks how I am doing on that.
Today I made my first goal of 16 days. I am taking a morning break out of my belt before putting it back on later probably after I get some exercise. I think I got over the "hump" of extreme frustration I was having earlier this week, but who knows it could return just have to persevere. Now regarding drinking, I did end up having some whiskey the other day, I won't let it get me down just going to move on and keep trying. I am not trying to stop for good just get used to not having it frequently.
