    I just fell - so this is going to be sort of dramatic.

    I've been a part of nofap for over a year now. I've been filtering the computer/phone, posting quotes on my wall, I've tired multiple accountability partners, trying to form habits of not using my computer in my room, cold showers..

    But the most I've EVER gone is about 30 days - and even then, some edging was involved. In the moment, I can't stop myself. I never remember how terrible the after-math of PMO is. The urges always get to me after a certain point. I'm always super motivated every time I start trying to stop again. "That was the last time, ever! I got this! I'm strong!" ..I say that every time, for like a year now.

    Can someone help me see the light at the end of the tunnel?? I just can't do this!! What's the problem? I read success stories all the time on nofap. I want to write one of those SO BADLY. I'm not even really sure how anyone will help, but I suppose I'm just getting anger out. I'll cool off, start over again. Please brain... please stop having urges.

    You are going to have urges. It's our brain - rewiring is not that easy.
    I see that you set your goal to 40 days - it would be easier for you to get 7 days. By little goals to big achievements.
    You're at Day 1. Set your K9, change password on something totally random, change mail and password on mail on totally random and save all passes on pendrive. Wrap pendrive with foil or something waterproof. Go to your garden or some place you visit rarely and people don't visit it. Dig a hole, put there pendrive and bury it. Time to get to this place can make you think about what do you want to do. It's also a rescue board, if you need to access something and filters are too strict. This helped me on my streak - last streaks was 7 days long max and finally crushed this barrier.
    To win, you must try just one more time. Do you remember that person who gave up? Me neither. So tighten your sphincters and hold your future in grip.

    Good luck.

    Do you use caffine, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, and/or eat sugar?

    I have not been able to get past 33 days myself (today I relapsed after a 30 day spell), but 30 days is nonetheless a good achievement. In my case, I would not have readily believed, even a year ago, that I could last a month without PMO. So you are making progress, do not lose hope my friend.
