Relapsed Again...Notes for Success

Really good tips.thx for sharing.rock on dude.

 

Thanks for your notes, they are very very useful. I'm glad you took the time to write them down and share. All the best on your journey.

 

Great post. As someone who is in a very similar situation, I would add: Have a plan in the event you wake up with urges in the middle of the night.

Everything was fine up until I went to sleep last night. I had read some encouraging material, seemed to be in a good place mentally. But then at about 2 in the morning, I suddenly woke up. The urge felt overwhelming. My plan for such urges is to immediately leash up my dogs and take them out for at least an hour. That thought briefly flashed through my mind, but I unfortunately suppressed it in favor of my laptop.

Disappointing, and I need to reevaluate my strategy for times when I wake up in the middle of the night. I'd definitely recommend everyone out there have at least one option for such times, as for whatever reason those urges have felt stronger and less rational than those that come during daylight hours.

Anyhow, thanks for the helpful tips.

 

The fap part is not the real problem, the real problem is addiction in general usually is fapping, porn, isolation, sugar, caffeine and self pity I am new here but people that are starting or doing NoFap kind ignore those others.

In my view PMO is the cycle that starts after you do something you know you should not, like stop a take a "better" look at someone's new photo on social media or just think about porn. If you do something you know you should not do than you are a step closer to relepsing again.

Much stength to you! Do not give up.

 

I really appreciate your first two notes, I relate the most to those. I think I'm partially klepto in the sense I used to download all porn I could for the "grand collection". So I would check out my go-to sites and see updates. The irony is because of so much porn, I hardly went back to my collection to enjoy the findings; I'd keep searching for more. (sad, right?)

Your Note 2 gives me some relief on my past failures. I have been trying hard since February to stop cold turkey, and I would relapse (either PMO or just MO), making reboot in my opinion a failure. But your post (and many others on here) reminds me that a relapse here and there is still progress if you continually reduce the porn in between.
