    Yes, i relapsed again. So many times.

    In January, i was able to pass two weeks (relapsing between them) without watching any Porn or Masturbation. I though i was going on the right way for sucess, but then... February came, and i don't know what happened. Almost every single day relapsing, no more than 3 days without watching Porn or masturbating. I was always trying to stop... but relapsing every single time.

    Now we're in March. And it has been the same thing as the last month. So many times that I really don't know if i want to stop or not. But... i'm tired of this mess. My life was really better. And i've been writing these words last month too, but i stopped going here (nofap) for about 2 weeks and I don't know why. Maybe it was because of that. But ... I don't care anymore, and I won't give up anytime. I can relapse until the last day of my life, but one thing I wont do.
    I will never give up from quitting porn and masturbation.

    I first heard about nofap last days of december. I started in January and was relapsing every week or so. And when I relapsed - I'd binge usually for a couple of days. It is the very essence of any addiction. The more you do, the more you want.
    I found that time very important actually. It took a while, but I learned my triggers. It's vital not to look or especially browse any kind of pics, galleries on the net. I'm talking about facebook, ur hot friends, youtube bullshit. Hell, if I wanna watch a film and there's a sex-scene I turn my head away and don't look.

    Dude, what you need to do right now is stop thinking about the failures of the past. In my opinion the biggest mistake people do is constant thinking about nofap as a big challenge. The more you think, the harder it gets. The more you fight the urges, the stronger they get.
    Here's a practical advice: when the urge comes, automatically turn off laptop, hands above waist (important!) Watch, observe and feel the urge. It's only natural. Look how it goes away. Also when you have a bad day - just accept it. Don't masturbate. Accept that bad days happen, even in normal life, when you're not at a no pmo challenge. Accept the bad days, take it easy, because they'll pass.
    Anyway I'm not masturbating since february 2. I'd never think it would be possible. But on the other hand I didn't think about it too much and well I'm just here.

    Keep pushing man. When you are in a routine like that for a whole month, the first few days will be the hardest, and it will still be hard after that, but who said this would be easy?

    Also, be careful not to get overconfident. This happens a lot with myself at least. After a couple days clean I think, "I got this!" and then I let my guard down, and then when I get an urge, and I am totally unprepared for it.

    So keep your cool, remember to stay confident in your self, but don't let your self think that it is easy, and good luck with your adventure!

    You know in yourseld you want to beat this because it makes you feel unhappy. Keep working and come here regularly; reading and sharing with others is essential to recovery.
     
  5. YOu're unhappy. I can hear it in your words. You know something is wrong. You need to dig down and find the inner strength to beat this. You have that strength in you, you just need the courage to find it. Keep on pushing, Turin. You shall overcome!
