Still have benefits after relapsing?

Well, I was actively abstaining from PMO February-June (with a few slips and mishaps) but then quit NoFap for a while. During the abstinence I noticed many improvements in my life such as more self-confidence. When I started with PMO again (not abstaining from it) I still noticed the benefits from NoFap. However, after a month or two I felt like something was wrong. I didn't have the same level of confidence, productivity or calmness anymore, I'd lost the benefits.

So a slip isn't really that bad, it's bad when you let that slip make you feel bad because of it or/and start watching porn on the regular again. You can compare NoFap with physical exercise, you get lots of benefits and if you stop exercising for two days or so nothing really happens except for that you might feel down. It's when you quit exercising for longer periods of time you lose the benefits.
At least this is my experience, and what I believe. Frankly, no one is right or wrong when it comes to this.

 

at 6 days you didn't get any benefits at all, that's just you brain high on dopamine, happens the same with drug users when they have their daily those they feel awsome, but if they dont thats where the problem starts

 

Withdrawal is non linear so you may just be on a high for a while, but expect the crash unfortunately... Stick with rebooting, it is tough as fuck if you are a severe case. You'll learn a lot about yourself. Take it from someone who has been relapsing for years, porn does you no good if you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Eliminate it and move forward in your life.

 

This same thing happened to me a day ago. I relapsed after I got home from work and I was expecting to feel depressed, anxious, irritated, etc but I still retained my benefits. I still resetted my counter for integrity but I won’t let this be a regular thing. My advice would be to be happy with not losing your benefits but don’t get comfortable and do it again because next time you might not be so lucky. Keep moving forward on your journey not backwards.

 

I don't know if this would happen to everyone who relapses after a long streak but it happened to me . So, I was abstaining from PMO for 4 months (yeah 4 months...) exactly 117 days and on the day 118 unfortunately I broke the streak and relapsed (just for one time) in the first 24 hours I really felt bad I felt like I lost an important battle in my life even when i went out to work i didn't felt the same level of confidence and energy but this was only for 2 days surprisingly in the 3rd day everything came back to normal I felt like i got my confidence back . I don't know if I was lucky or this was normal but i feel like I've got a second chance in my journey and I won't miss it .
Just wrote this for people who might be asking what happens after a relapse and sorry for my bad english
