The mighty has fallen

Oh that must suck... But remember when you go around in a circle you end up at the beginning, but you have also learnt a lot during that journey.

 

I must admit that is sobering, that must be the shittiest feeling ever!

I always looked up to you as the "don't touch your penis" guy. I shall review my defences and make sure I am not resting on my laurels. Even after a binge of a dozen sessions of masturbation and pornography in 5 days, I am confident that you will get back on track. I wish you well: IGY

 

That sucks man. I have confidence you will beat that streak though. You don't make it 320 days and just start from square one. It's like playing a video game where once you finish you can replay the game with all your levels and items. Know what I mean?

 

320 days is atonishing. Everyone needs a vacation. Without this pause in your abstinence, all of your previous struggle might have meant less. Be kind and forgive yourself. Move ahead with strength.

 

It isn't game over right?
The mighty have fallen but he is gonna rise up again
Good luck and remember the streak you broke is just a number so don't be mad about it at all.

 

So did you relapse to P or just to M? Remember just pick yourself back up dude try again. the days don't matter I know its disheartening but I think you will agree that you have become a better person through this. Don't be to hard on yourself its not productive just realize you messed up but your not truly on day 1 I still view you as being farther than me productivity wise and even counter wise. A few relapses doesn't even come close to wiping away 10-11 months of consistency just try again my man.

I think maybe when we don't get urges for awhile then we suddenly get one its just to much to handle. Your doing great I thought that back when I first joined and I still do. I think that its tough and takes awhile but your doing soooo much less than when you first started like your number in 320 days thats incredible thats better than me. Good luck man your closer to it than you think

 

every 10th day i feel is the hardest to get through after the initial first 3-4 days. I was having strong urges on the 20th day of my streak, but now i'm completely fine...no urges at all.

 

That's right. The journey must also transform you as a person and you'll have a lot of experiences and changes.
About the replaying, it's sometimes called 'Story Mode +'

 

Whoa fightback. IGY has been a pretty upstanding member of the community. He's just reminding those of us who think we are standing, beware we do not fall.

 

Thank you MelancholyWeightlifter for recognising my true motives

 

That sucks you broke your streak, but thank you for sharing it is a good reminder to stay vigilant and not get cocky. If you did it once you can do it again.

 

I think 320 days is amazing with or without a relapse. I'm really chuffed with my 6 days and even if I failed today it's 6 days I never thought I could have achieved a week ago.

 

I don't think I'd beat myself up if I did fail after however many days it might be. As long as I got back on track reasonably quickly that would be enough for me. I'm far from an expert as I'm less than a couple of weeks into this but the puritanical approach by many on here somehow seems to me to be setting up people to fail long term. I read this thread on another forum tonight and it made so much sense.

NoFapAsian - thanks for being honest and admitting to this minor slip-up. I hope to make it as long as you did one day, and this was a wake up call to never let my guard down.

I think your next streak is going to be several years. Make it happen.

 

good luck bro!! You are a hero to me that you went for so long in the first place. Your recent relapses do not make you less of a man. I don't know if you are Christian, but one of my favorite scriptures is (Proverbs 24:16) . . .For the righteous one may fall seven times, and he will get up again. . .
