    So ive done nofap in 2017 and had 3 month streak in which i felt really fucking good but i dont even know why i relapsed from it. Now ive been trying to get somewhere since mid february. I had some good streaks and the longest one was 20 days, i had a 5 day streak until 2 days ago and i fapped yesterday in the evening and told myself this is definitely gonna be the last time i do it. I go jogging, train at home, Play soccer, learn french, pray, listen to music, just do anything that i like that gets my mind away from PMO. And still even though i have all These good habbits that i do i feel completely fucking depressed and worthless. I figured this could only be because of PMO, because there is no other reason for it. I dont know what it is but i just cant get pass that stupid 1 week, i Always edge on days 5-6 and then on day 7 i relapse. I feel completely fucked up by this and i dont want to feel this way. I tried different approaches in These streaks that i had but they just all failed and it seems that no matter what i do i just fail and feel like shit afterwards. I really dont know what else i could do anymore. I want to get rid of this stuff and i have a list of why i want to do it, but it just seems like no matter what i do i just cant get it.

    NOFAP MODERATORS. I JUST POSTED A FIGHT THE NEW DRUG ARTICLE AND THE EXTENSION WAS AUTOMATICALLY CHANGED TO "RELIGIOUS CONTENT" AND THE LINK BROKEN. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?...

    in my personal experience, i once had a problem like u man, like had a good streaks relapse and cant get over the first 7 day's, even tho i pass it. im always relapse at day 20 or something then the cycle goes back to 7 day trap


    the one u need is a specific goal (mid term one) on why you want to get rid of these addiction

    cut the crap about its not healthy, i want to break free, this make my life sad... cut that out its not a specific goal is just your overflowing emotion cause by porn


    for me for example i want to get married. even tho i dont have any gf yet. but that's my goal on nofap. i want to be worthy to have a good sex with my spouse. and i cant do it if im still watching porn and have PIED because of it.

    second, im not a religious type of person but u must involve god in these journey, u cant fight this all alone with ur self. Say what u want but u will fail if u not involve god in this.

    and that make me strong, idk but atleast it work for me until now

  5. Yes I just had the same issue. Weird. I read tons of articles on that site and nothing was religious. I have heard that the people involved are mormons, but I don't know why that makes everything they do religious. Maybe there is more I don't know.

    I really relate, in my active addiction I often had years where I was trying all the things you mentioned and more and getting the same results in terms of how long until I inevitably used pm+ again. You mentioned lots of exercise and prayer, I tried that. I used to run five miles then masturbate while showing off from my run :) And I'd pray and pray and use pm+ and pray and start figuring prayer didn't work but pray and pray some more. I tried several more things than just those over the years and none of them got me very long not having to use pm+. Now I haven't had to use for more than seven years and part of why is practicing principles. You might want to try some of these. I practice honesty by calling recovered sex-porn addicts (porn is vicarious sex so I never thought to not count it in my sex addiction :) ) and saying the things I don't want to say that are embarrassing, in particular "I'm feeling squirrelly, I'm afraid I'm going to act out over ________detailshere...". Doing that before I act out send to help a lot more than talking about feelings, triggers, overwhelm, plans, motivations, etc etc ad nauseum AFTER I use pm+as a bonus this practices humility
    Another principle I practice is making things right with people I hurt, even if it's only a little and they were wrong too. But only under a commitment of listening to and asking for direction from a wiser addict who's been free of pm+ longer than me. That practices the principles of humility, open mindedness etc.

    I dont feel like competing with other will bring me this because i really found that only scaring myself about what will happen if i keep fapping has worked. I mean now its day 7 and im starting to feel somehow more calm and balanced in my thoughts which is what i like.

    Yeah i mean there is no fucking doubt about that, i know im a porn addict and i admitted that to myself a long time ago, the only problem is that i keep on losing this fight with myself. But this time i told myself its now or never, because if i dont break out of this, its just gonna fuck my life up again, and really the only effective strategy is trying to scare yourself about what could happen if you relapse. I also found im a lot more likely to relapse on rainy days, and on these days i feel really bad, so now as its been raining for a few days i just keep on telling myself hold on through these days because it will be better. Also ive seen that im much more likely to relapse at night which is why i always try to stay busy and then just shower and go to sleep because this period from 10PM until Midnight is just absolute hell if im on my computer.

    I think it could be the problem that we are always expecting the relapse to come at that point and we feel like we cant fight it. I mean i know im not letting that relapse sneak in again. No matter what kind of flatline or that kind of shit my brain tries to pull on me, i aint letting that bullshit happen.

    Also read Noah Church book which you have as free download in his webpage, addictedtointernetporn.com. It is very well written and based on research.
