    Guys for the past 2 weeks I've been stuck in a relapse cycle. Last streak I had was 6 days and the one before was even less. I wanna get back on track but right now it feels impossible. I need help, I'm really struggling here!

    So guys I'm about to give up, I'm at a point where I can't even make it to 1 week without relapsing. I've been on nofap for nearly a year now and I only made it to a month TWICE. I don't know what to do anymore, every time I tell myself I'm done relapsing and I'm gonna take this shit seriously I fall harder than before, to make things worse I just relapsed on a two day streak, what the fuck. I don't know how much more I could take. I just wanna make AT LEAST 1 week, I'll do anything.
     
  4. Relax. Keep having a positive mindset, use some positive self-talk, good mantras for yourself and you'll see how you will attract good stuff into your life.
     
  5. I can only tell you what works for me, and maybe it will help you: Before I am able to commit to something I have to establish an "identity" for it, or a mindset, if you like. When I hit the gym I know that I will become that "identity", that person I am inside who loves to workout. I can't just make the statement "I'm going to workout", I have to have an established identity I can slip into. The same when I started my no PMO journey. I wasn't just going to say "I'm committing to a 90 day no PMO journey", I had to ask myself, and then answer; who am I during this journey? How will I react when confronted with the inevitable urges? How will I react if I relapse? What will my mindset, my identity, be when I'm hit with all the expected difficulties of this journey, and the unexpected ones, too? I established my whole identity for this before I embarked on the journey. And because I had this identity established, I actually looked forward to the urges and flatline that would challenge me the most. I don't want a smooth ride, I want this process to beat the crap out of me, and every bruise is a badge of courage for when I come out the other end.

    Yeah it's a Trap

    When you relapse, your brain will continue to tell you to watch even More and more and more with non stop untill you spend all your energy
    Cause when you stop PMO, your reserve become Full and Full day after day... and that reserve will be spent at the moment you watch Porn and takes at least (4-5 days of PMO to spend it)

    I used to tell my mind that i would PMO just for 1 Time but (Once you do it) you continue doing it non-stop untill you have spend all your reserves.

    Cause when you touch your D*** it's a relapse that's my rules.

    You need to make strict rules for your self:
    1) Watching Bikini is a relapse
    2) Searshing for porn is a relapse
    3) Putting your hands down your pants is a relapse even if you do Nothing


    Try to tell your self that Vikings, and in old years before Internet, people didn't had access to Porn and were so Strong ! because they never PMO'ed.

    I’m in the same boat! I used to go for weeks on end with minimal urges and now I can barely make it a day

    Thank you everyone for the support. I've done everything here and I made it to 17 days, currently the longest streak I'm on since February. But I need some help right now guys, I came across something sexual and now I'm really close to relapsing, I'm trying to fight it but I think I might lose. Help.
