Problems quitting after clean for 11 months

Don't rely on willpower. Install blockers both on your pc and phone. I'd even uninstall browsers from my phone as it is easier to bypass blockers on phones. So I'd only use messengers and few other internet based apps on phone but not browsers. Lock playstore also so that u can't download new apps.

Literally put restriction on your access to porn. If it isn't easy to access then you probably won't relapse

 

I use variety of apps for that.
It seems u got apple, if thats the case u need to do your own research for it.
I use qustudio+block site extention+an app to disable incognito+app lock

U need to take your time and customize the filtering app. It takes patience

 

Thanks for being a cautionary tale. Presumably, if you quit porn for 11 months once you can do it again.

 

Yes, I recently came off of a six-month free-of-PMO streak, which was wonderful. I hadn't gone that long in decades. All internal temptations for P and MO vanished, but now that my sick introverted and narcissistic sexual patterns were gone, external "street side" sexual temptations became more hyped up than I ever noticed before, which caused me to fall. It caught me off guard since it seemed like I was on unchartered territory. I then went for four months in a major rut of PMO addiction once again. It was amazing - right back into the shit hole that I was in before. I couldn't even make it for 7 days without PMO.

Now, I have regrouped myself together to start again. I know I have all the tools I need since I had success in the recent year. The thing about having had a long streak, one knows that one can get there again and most likely surpass it. Sometimes there's a little intervening rut, but one gets back on track. One day at a time, and time goes by fast. It's unlike the early years in Nofap recovery when we couldn't even know or trust that we could get to a certain time point, never mind 90 days or even beyond. Every additional week of progress was suspect and hard to believe, and we were somewhat blind to whether we could even possibly progress even more. And, the addict self used that fear and doubt against us, occasioning new and discouraging falls. Regretfully, we see this all around us with many guys who have never known (and may never know) what it is like to go beyond a few weeks. But, now we know better. This is it, my friend!!! I know you can start again and get back to where you were and beyond. You're actually not starting at the beginning where you were when you first started Nofap, even though a present rut may feel like that.

Best wishes!

Hi, this may help you: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?t...ve-your-willpower-an-aid-easy-streaks.272658/

 

After doing your reboot for at least 3 months, which you did, you should start engaging in normal sexual behaviors to rewire your brain. This is the best way to prevent porn from coming back into your life.

A reboot basically clears out most of the junk in your head wired to porn. However, this leaves a big empty space, dying for stimulation. If you go back to porn, it's gonna fill back up with neurons wired to porn, just like before. Instead, you need to socialize with women, if you're lucky get some dates, and if you're likable you'll get some kisses, fun times, and hopefully sex. Doing things like this "rewires" that empty space in your brain towards these positive sexual behaviors. Filling up that space makes it harder for porn to take root again, and even if you relapse, they will be much less severe each successive time.

I hope that made sense. Check out these articles from Your Brain on Porn about the same stuff.

Well you did 11 months once. No reason you can't do it again.
