    So since last sunday I was on great day streak (not impressive for some but for me was great for someone that only tried 3x trying nofap).

    Last friday I had a birthday party with friends when I got home I was a little bit tipsy, not "super drunk" but I was kinda horny and before I know it, I ended up relapsing and even watching some stupid porn.

    Before that,
    I was super motivated, was taking care of myself, doing small tasks, working out, feeling great. Now I feel like my brain is playing these tricks on me to give up, I'm feeling lazy today. Which is something I'm not sure if it wouldn't happen if I didn't relapse.

    I'm not gonna lie, I been still skeptical about this nofap thing, some people say its bullshit, only placebo affect but personally for me, it is NOT.

    This thread may be a reminder for those who recently relapsed, you can see things in two ways:

    1. Feel bad about yourself and end up doing the same mistake over and over again.
    Or
    2. Learn from your mistakes and do better.

    I'm even going workout after this even though I'm feeling lazy, so I don't feel shitty about myself.

    PS: Could someone tell me if drinking alcohol (like 3/4 or + beers a night) in general makes it tougher to avoid relapsing? Or even smoking cigarettes?(stupid addiction I know)

    I quit both , still i relapse every now and then which i think is my last cuz I learned the tricks of quitting an addiction.

    I am not an alcoholic but i drink from time to time . Never gave me the urge to relapse . But it will give u strong urges to smoke ciggs

    What I learned from relapsing is that the mind constantly tries to trick u . It brings the thought to u to relapse like every hour , if u start thinking about it it is gonna grow and then u will relapse . Some times the thoughts are very week where u wont even realize they are there , and sometimes they are going to be strong. And this is where u come in when not letting it get into u

    Smoking is the same thing but it is a tougher kind of addiction cuz it is like heroin , consider NRT , if u try to quit cold turkey its gonna affect PMO addiction , cuz ur mind then Will tell u u cant quit both at the same time.

    Since u work out , this will help u quit both cuz they have the major effects on ur performance . Quit both for 1 week and see the difference in ur gains !!

    I did it it took me a month to reach this mindset

    2 months to reach the mindset where i can quit both at the same time and never to relapse

    Practice, practice , practice . And quick tip . Learn how to manage ur depression and how to be stable

    If u get depressed and stayed depressed for hours u will smoke and PMO , never let depression get into u
