Just once more before the new year...

DON'T DO IT!

You've got a fantastic streak going. Don't wreck it.

Sorry you're feeling bad. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better....

 

If you do it now, you will PMO in 2018. Abstain man.

Here's why: basing any commitment off of something as paltry as a date change is nowhere near strong enough motivation for life changing decisions.

Just look at the people who say they will go to the gym or eat healthy or whatever because the date changed. Sure, the gym is full for the first week or so of the year. After that? Back to sedentary lifestyle and fast food.

 

This has happened to me countless of times over the years but after each relapse the thoughts of 'starting over' or a new 'fresh start' started cycling again after a few days only to relapse over and over again. It is a viscous and self destructing cycle because the brain is an amazing tool, and the things it can do to convince someone into doing exactly what they are trying to not do. It can be a difficult, but try to stay positive through the bad times because they are a part of life (reality). Indulging in fantasy will definitely not help your case for long. Good luck

 

since people here have already given you the sensible and sweet reply i will give you the hard hitting one

don't man, cause i don't want to see another "i relapsed" post again, i am sure you don't want write one too.

peace

 

Well, fruit often tastes sweeter when it's forbidden.

 

Is your counter correct? Why would you want to relapse and mess that up, you’re so far ahead and the pmo grip is so weak, don’t fall back!

Also, people thinking they should relapse and start fresh the next year shouldn’t see it that way, especially someone as far ahead as you. Today and tomorrow is just like any other day

 

You'll be starting the new year clean either way. But one way you'll have a streak of some size behind you.

 

I came so close to doing this a couple days ago. My NOFAP streak and my NO CANNABIS streak are one and the same. And I thought to myself... "oh, my goal really is to complete 365 days during 2018, so I can smoke the few nights left during this year and FAP and then start on Jan 1." Sooooo glad I didn't give in. I had a counter in my head at like 5 days, and the only thing that kept me from doing it was knowing that the counter would start over. And I DID NOT WANT IT TO START OVER! I remember being here on this site last year and I don't remember the PMO tracker in the signatures. I LOVE seeing the tracker now. I NEVER want to see it say 1... NOT EVER.

 

Yes, the previous tracker came from an outside source, wasn't maintained and eventually stopped working. But the current one was developed by NoFap and has been very reliable.

Haha. It was @Jack Fischer I believe.

 

Thank you IGY! Just shot him a message of gratitude...

 

Ah, nice. Here is a bit more about Jack and others that work behind the scenes here: https://www.nofap.com/about/us/

 

Sometimes I find myself planning a relapse..... I try like hell never plan it for "today".

I came close tonight, but I fought it off.

 

Awesome thanks for sharing!

Wanted to post something to keep this on topic as well... Just over 3 hours left in 2017 here on the West Coast USA. So looking forward to the new year, and so proud of myself for starting the new year with 9 days PMO free. Could have given in multiple times but kept myself busy, learning, reading, doing... EVERYTHING is more important than PMO, so just do ANYTHING. Whatever it is that keeps you occupied and from your addictions, DO THEM OFTEN. Stay safe, stay positive, stay PMO FREE.

 

Keep fighting. Be proud, that is a great SUCCESS!
