    I have been trying nofap but I'm bad at it. :(
    I can last a few days but my needs get strong and I give in to it. I don't have a bf for the past while and I need the release. I am just going to focus on no porn. I am still going to try to cut down on masturbating but I am too weak to stop it 100%, I have failed too many times.

    that is because you are going through stress. You gotta find other ways in which to de stress yourself from the world and be adapted to it. People do it through different ways, like smoking, beer at bars, working out, etc, you get my drift.

    I see the whole point of people having better lives after nofap they didn't only stop addiction. They also stopped themselves from getting away from the real world and they started to build themselves up with books and gathered knowledge around them etc., and that addiction was holding them back from building themselves and making it harder to think of achieving and evolving into the better self they are now. A human must work for what he wants regardless of what does your mind tell you to do or what 'friends' usually hold you back from doing. A human who could break down the barrier he built infront of himself will achieve no matter what. Discipline and commitment are the key to fighting your thoughts of holding back.

    What else have you been doing to prevent yourself from failure? Willpower alone won't be enough.
    When you're clear-minded and determined to end all PMO, try some of the following:
    -Put blockers into place on your PC, WiFi, and perhaps even use 3rd party "parental" browsers on your mobile devices. K9 Web Protection works well on PC. OpenDNS operates on the WiFi, so if any device uses your WiFi it will help block bad material. As for mobile, you can look around on your app store. Granted, blockers aren't 100% foolproof, but they buy you time in the moment to think about what you're doing.
    -Start a new hobby. This could really be anything, just occupy yourself. Play an instrument. A lot of people start working out. Learn a new skill. If you have a craving, turn that energy into motivation to do something else. Easier said than done, of course!
    -Stay around friends, family, or just be in public. This is a hard one to do as sometimes getting the motivation to go out and do something is difficult, but think about it; you're not going to PMO while you're around other people. You may not even think about it when you're with others.

    The forum is full of advice to help you get started. This is certainly a difficult thing to do, so you have to put things into place to help yourself when you need it most!
    Best of luck!

    does it? or, is it your mind? being used to blasting our minds with dopamine makes us crave it during its absence. When we are bored, when we have nothing planned, when we are stressed, etc it triggers us and we crave it.
    The issue may not be the body at all but the mind. I am asking you to assess this thoroughly.

    Ultimately, at least for me, the goal is to not crave it anymore and to feel pleasure in everyday tasks, to go outside and to just outright feel again with emotion.

    That is a litany of things that are not true... think about it. You are not bad at Nofap. You CAN go further than a few days. You went further than a few days in the past. What the longest you ever went without PMO? And how does not having a companion equal giving into temptation? I don't have a companion and I have no desire for it, are you any different than me? Past failure means nothing - everyone that eventually succeeded had failed many times. Cut out all PMO and do a clean reboot. Quit limiting yourself, you aren't weak, you have free will; make a decision that this has to go then do a reboot and stay involved in the community.
