Why can't I get past 22 days !!

Try and learn from every relapse and take steps to become even stronger the next time around. Identify what those triggers were. Eliminate them from your life if possible.

You can learn a lot from a relapse. Try to view it as a positive thing and learning experience. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Maybe next time you get around 20-23 days you could write yourself a schedule to keep yourself really busy to get through those times and over that hump.

I relapsed after 18 days and it took me 4-5 days to get back on the NoFap grind. I PMO'd about three times and Day 2 this time around was absolute hell for me. I was up for three and a half hours tossing and turning. I pulled down my pants to fap but instead I just laid there. I felt really pathetic, but I'm glad that I didn't do it.

Eventually I got out of bed, posted in my journal, took a cold shower, and went back to sleep.

I wish you the best.

Hey I almost relapsed today but found an app which stopped me in my tracks. Its called Brainbuddy. you should give it a try..

 

One of my accountability partners recommended that I try Brain buddy. I heard it's only for iphone though. I think you have to pay $2 a week for it too.

I haven't used it so I can't say much other than it was recommended to me.

It's because you're thinking about relapse at 22 days. Don't even think about relapse, push it out of your mind. As far as you're concerned porn and masturbation don't exist. THEY ARE NOT AN OPTION. YOU ARE DONE.

You don't "deserve" to "relieve" yourself.

1. You don't need release. You will not explode.

2. 22 days is not "so long". It is an accomplishment for sure, and you should be proud. When put in perspective though, this is a very short time, not long enough to work through that first hump. Not long enough to feel some benefits and break the cycle, break the habit.

3. You deserve to be free of this. You deserve to reach your goal. You do not deserve to PMO, you deserve to triumph

 

3 weeks was always my limit as well. Once you get past it though, chances are you'll be good for a good while. I would follow the advice of the other people and keep yourself busy, schedule dates with people or something during that time. Stay at someone's house for 2 days. Just do whatever you can to get past 21.

 

"relapse makes you stronger" - not every; it depends on whether you learn and make your next streak better.

For me, accountability has been the major help.

 

Yeh I wasn't too sure about having to pay the $2 a week but thought its a small price to pay if it can really help. Plus I can take it everywhere I go

 

I know you can win SoulCage. Only up from here.

 

That happens to me too, i going to delete my facebook and instagram accounts!
