    My goal was to make it to 14 days but I masturbated on the 9th day. I've been masturbating every other day ever since. Please help.

    sacred sexuality project on you tube have good advice for rebooting.
    I would say don't worry at all.
    Just start again whenever you want
    Like if you find yourself 4 days without thinking just continue
    Im 37 and I was looking for something like this all my life

    Keep at it bro.
    I have failed many times. I don't even have a count anymore since I started serious on NoFap. And it also not important - You only need be able to count to ONE. And that is the one time you keep coming back it after falling down. Keep changing your approach until it works. Each time you sacrifice a little more. You get a little meaner with your addiction. Each time you read a bit more and be a bit more honest with yourself. Get up one time after each relapse and become a little better with each time. That's how you break it.

  6. Too many times to count,just to get to a week.If I had to say it would be about 20 to 30 times since being on this site just to get to 7 days.I am not out of the woods yet since I have never made it to 14 days though.Just remember to keep trying,let it become a habit,change your porn habits,meaning dont do the same things that will lead to you relapse,become mindfull of your actions,your urges accept it and move on.

    You must have a strong mind to accomplish your goals, don't give up and don't surrender. I did it on my first try, but I have a very strong will, the same as my Dad. If we want to accomplish something badly, we will. You need to focus on the things, you want to achieve, don't give in, that would just be the easy way. I wanted to achieve 90 days from the very beginning and I did. Stay strong and you will succeed.

  12. Don't worry about the times you fail, just get up and try again. Don't be too hard on yourself, just go for it again and strive to be better, and don't give up!

    I previously reached my 90-day goal before back in February or something and it took like, 10+ retries prior to that. Now? I'm thinking 30 or something. Just don't give up, I'm building up one of my better streaks already haha!
     
  13. No relapse whenever I actually tried to quit and did not just fool around. You know, if I'm doing it, then I'm doing it, and if I'm not, then not. I had my doubts before but now I'm just doing it fully. I wish you strenght.

    After Failing Two Times, I decided enough was enough and took back my life. I made up my mind to stop permanently, I wanted a better life for me and for my girlfriend. It's how bad you want it really, you can get there, once you forge that tough mentality, NoFap will be a cakewalk.

    I haven't yet reached my goal of 9 months as I only formed it 3 weeks ago and have kept it since. Before this, for 2 years I'd tried to do it as little as possible and the most I ever got was 3 weeks but generally I'd be giving in most days. The reason I gave in was because I didn't have a clear view of the benefits I'd get from abstaining clearly imprinted in my mind nor the detriments of continuing PMOing. I'd suggest thinking about what problems PMO causes you, then reading websites such as 'yourbrainonporn' which should help to enforce these ideas. Having a calendar where you can cross of the days to your goal can also help as well as having a 0 tolerance rule. Once you see something you like, the greater you're cravings for more. So avoid looking at anything or reading anything AT ALL that way trigger cravings. You'll end up becoming bored and frustrated in these times so use this energy to do something else. literally anything whether it be running on the spot for an hour or watching a movie
