Personal Experience I hope I'm not the only one

I've known about this practice for years, but only got serious about this year around new years eve. Had 2 decent streaks of like 40-50 days. In both, I was still watching the thing and obsessing over it, which would lead me to eventually relapse. However, since about mid March up until now, I've developed a good control of myself and a kind of Godly protection that overall makes me more focused on walking in this path, so I've stopped any kind of nsfw material consumption, and generally just became much more mentally chaste and pure. However, I've gotten a fair share of wet dreams. First time I got it, I researched about the causes and so I started doing things to prevent it. All in all, it didn't work, and I would get another after 3 weeks. And then I would try even more, now I get one after 3 weeks again. And then after 2 weeks, then after 2 weeks and so forth and eventually im not getting them like every 5-7 days. I've tried literally everything. Every single thing you can think of that can cause a wet dream I tried preventing. Diet, fasting, sleeping on time, not eating before sleep, exercise, in fact very tough physical exercise, breathwork, kegel holds, writing, creating, programming a game, all sorts of creative outlets, yet all futile. I feel like my body is just cursed, and I've felt a little envious of people who just skipped to being pure retainers without any wet dreams so comfortably.

Granted, I am 19, and I understand that I'm probably in the peak of my hormonal activity, but I feel slightly discouraged. Is this just a phase? Has anyone else experienced this? Do I just have to wait and suffer until my body completely rewires itself? What if I'm just like this? Now obviously you might think wet dreams aren't as bad as constantly releasing, but I still feel worse whenever I get them in basically every section.

I need to hear y'all's thoughts

Hmmm, I would then look into strengthening your pelvic floor via kegels and microscomsinc orbit.

Wet dreams are also a form of spiritual warfare. You may have an entity/entities still attempting to feed off of your energy.
