    I'm 135 days into hard mode now.
    The most of it was a flatline. My libido did not return in a full power yet, nor my morning wood. I have them randomly.
    I woke up this night several times, each time with an erection and I was happy about it.
    In the morning I went to the beach and while trying to read my book, amazingly sexy lady was lying close to me after taking a swim. I noticed her and stared feeling some movements down there and was 70-80% hard. I felt like I am ready for the next step, that I am really able to get aroused and have sex. Unfortunately, a man that was apperantly her husband showed up, so I realized that this is a no-go zone.
    Instead, I opened some website for casual sexual encounters and read some ads from women (with pics) which gave me an intense rush (of dopamine obviously) and I got insatntly very hard. I was reading it for a minute then stopped, but that was the same rush I used to have searching for camsex partner on skype or chaturbate.
    I will not count it as a relapse, as I did not search for camsex partner (which was my drug of choice) and obviously did not masturbate or orgasm on the beach, but I will take it as a warning. That's why I'm writing it here, self-discipline is mandatory, but also consciously avoiding possibility of triggers really helps.
    Stay strong and take care.
     
  2. Yup yup. Threw a 93 day streak away for nothing just because I felt like I didn't need to be careful anymore.

    I've been there and back twice, 100 and 110 respectively - probably a year ago, before I fell into this rut. You'd think you'd learn a lesson after the first time. I didn't. You really can't let your guard down, I think that's a lesson far too many people learn the hard way. Humility is important. You are not a hero, you are an addict. Don't think you can strut your stuff just because you're X days clean.

    Amazing you guys have gone so long, something to be proud of but from what I read here, even after all that time, if there is a relapse it can bring back the addiction quickly.

    Great to hear you reach 135 days. I have a question about your morning wood quality. Does your morning wood 100% hard? I have concerns about my morning wood. My morning wood is maximum 70% hard and my daytime erection is maximum 50%.

    Be careful about women attraction though because they're succubus meaning energy thieves. That lady lying next to you after swimming and she married, that's was a succubus right there. She committed adultery and will be quick divorce. So next time it happens, flee from fornication.

    Very rarely its 100%. Maybe once in a month. More often its 70%, like 2 times a week.
    Still, most of the mornings I wake up limp. More often I wake up during the night with an erection.

    I do 62 days. I never have 100%morning wood. Do you remember when you start to have 100% morning wood?

    The addiction never ever goes away. It’s like a drug addiction. I too have been complacent in my sobriety many many many times. It all leads down the same dark road.

    I dont remember well. I know from my last streak that after about 70 days I had 100% erection when I woke up in the night. But I was strongly in love with a woman and dreamed about her.
    Now I really dont remember and it is rare.

    That sure is the truth. It always seems the same to me, the aftereffects - I always need the chaser which does the final damage. Somehow a lot of us forget what we learned, or maybe it never sunk in hard enough. I'm back here and I really need those reminders of what I'm in for if I act out again.

    Yeah I had the same problem. You just say "oh I made it so far. I can relapse now or I can watch something because I deserve it". Unfortunate fact - you deserve nothing. You've treaded down a wrong path in life and this is the consequence. It's either you face the war or get buried under the ground like the rest of average souls. I think that's what I like about nofap, it's an innate red pill decision that invokes a higher spiritual consciousness. It's hard to maintain but the better we get, the better we begin to see the truth.

    Went on ramble there. Well done your streak lad!
