    I dont know what more to do. I keep relapsing and I tell myself "its okay" then i relapse then i feel terrible. I tried learning a new skill and staying busy and everything and i cant break this. I need advice. I don't know where to turn anymore. I feel hopeless and like I’ll never improve. I joined this forum a week ago and held off for 4 days then relapse and now I can’t go a day. Someone please tell me what to do

  2. It takes time and sustained effort. Just set small goals and be patient with yourself. You watched P and M'ed probably everyday for years right? Every day that you can abstain is improvement. Dont concentrate on streaks when you start concentrate on improvement in aggregate. Practice coping with the discomfort of withdrawal. Take it one day at a time or even one 6 hour block of time at a time. You'll progress. You got this.

    I just feel so hopeless. I have a wonderful girlfriend and i feel like i let her down. I dont want to keep PMO anymore. I need to move on andbe the person i want to be. I set controls on my laptop to block all explicit websites. i hope this is enough.

  4. I know how you feel. If you have a girlfriend talk to her. Open up. Challenge your honesty and dig as deep as you can to find out the reasons you keep turning to porn. Its usually not enough to simply move on. You might be able to push a dragon back into its cave but it wont go away forever. Just some food for thought. Treat each relapse as a learning experience. Find the thing that feels the hardest to do emotionally and do it. Sooner or later you will find a groove but trust me keep coming here and being honest. That simple thing does wonders. I wish you all the luck, but you wont need it. ;)

    Brother as a human being we are not mean to be always perfect or positive. We do wrong and good thing in life. What I want you to do right now is that have faith in yourself and keep believing that you can do it. Most importantly put god first at the top. This evil will died if you have faith in yourself and god

    The genital can be evil.
    The hands can be evil.
    The eyes can be evil.
    The heart can be evil.
    Even the mind that is used to navigate human can be evil.

    So do not trust the evil that lies in your body as it can trick you to do PMO. Say "I'm evil" in yourself as a realization but then say "I still have the chance to make myself a good person" as a motivation to succeed.

    You can do it but it's just a matter of you to learn more about the bittersweet experience of withdrawal syndrome.

    I myself accept the fact that sometimes i will go maniac just in order to reject the temptations of PMO. Madness in the brain when fighting our ownselves is common for people who fight addiction.

    I just hope you can go through this and be ready for all changes that might happens to you. Trust me, it will be hard at first in the early times but once the withdrawal syndrome is fixed normally by your brain, you can get a better, free and happy life as you desired. God willing.

    Well then, that's all for now.
    Wish you good luck,
    And I hope you will have an easy journey for your reboot.
    Hope you will succeed.
    Happy abstaining.

    Regards,
    Nakalaku

    Look if it can helps: The less you do, the better.

    Fuck, even if you relapse 9 times instead of 10, it can make the difference. Of course, if you don't do it at all, it's perfect.
    The goal is not to reach X days, but is to say "I will not do it this time" and break the cycle. The point is you will not escape the fight if you're heavily addicted, your brain will always confuse you and trick you into thinking it's okay... then sadness.

    You have to reason yourself as much as you can through this fucking madness. You will suffer, and it will not be very funny but there's too much to lose keeping those bad habbits...

    Stay strong, you can do it. :)

    Agreeing with the sentiments of Max Fisher and Eddy7, numbers themselves are just numbers. Don't get stuck in an idea of "once I hit X days i won't be broken anymore, that future day I will be happy with myself". Maybe you'd rather be on a perfect 90 day streak right now, but don't under-appreciate how these smaller initial successes add up in the long term

    Dude there was a time in my life where 3 days without Porn was GROUND-BREAKING.
    If I made it a week I was literally a whole new person by comparison
    Take inventory of patterns in your life that tend to lead back to the PoPo and start creating some protection for yourself.
    If you gotta stop watching a certain show, stop listening to some song that takes your mind to the wrong place, be self-aware and set up some defenses.

    I would DEFINITELY encourage honesty with your lady-friend. You're not disgusting or perverted; you have an unwanted habit. And trust is a building block of real love. I think it's honestly a little romantic; it's like you telling her you don't want any other woman, on the street or on a screen, to take your attention away from her

    Thank you all for the kind words and help. I’ve been AFK on nofap because I’ve been busy with school but came back on today because I was at risk to relapse. I read every message you guys sent and it really means a lot to know I have people here that are willing to help and to know they have gone through a similar battle. Even though we’re all anonymous, you guys rock. I really appreciate it
