Been fighting this for 5 years...

What kind of help? Advice? An accountability partner? You need to describe what kind of help you need otherwise nobody on here can help you.

 

sometimes can be productive speaking with a therapist

 

I think then, the best thing for you to do is to spend most of your time off the net, and always be aware of what your are doing "Be intentional with your time", and to never go into autopilot. Other than that do some hobbies, read a book, catch up on something you've been putting off, or just go outside. Find something good to replace your habit of masturbating.

 

Understand that there is no expectation that you should have overcome this problem in 5 years, especially not when you are only 22.

Nor is there a requirement that you have streaks as long as some of the older NoFap veterans, or that you should have streaks longer than your own 6 day average.

The most important thing is that you are here.

All that matters is that you continue to struggle, regardless of however short your streaks or frequent your relapses.

When we think there are absolute standards of success at this, we are only setting ourselves up for failure and despair.

For now, just be on this site every day, and be open to how all of the wisdom here will change how you think and feel about PMO.

 

I think you are too concerned with number of days and things like that .. You should start slowly .. Try 7 days first then 15 days and then gradually increase the number of days . Don't Spend your time alone , Keep yourself busy , and one thing more , Don't depress , Its dangerous for your health. Nothing to worry about , You can heal , Its your body , you should be able to control it and believe me, you can control it , Just need some struggle and determination.
