    Hey guys I´m a 20 year old male and I want to become PMO free,

    I just relapsed after I was 15 days PMO free and I feel horrible, this was my first relapse after really trying to overcome this addiction. It all started yesterday when I saw some nude pictures on Instagram by accident. I really didn´t wanted to see it and it happens really by accident. After that day I was always thinking about it and I regrated it so much because I did not want to start again by day 0. These pictures got stuck in my head and I always wanted to see more of it again, even by knowing that I will regret it more… Today the desires for it got worse and worse until I finally relapsed.

    15 days for nothing I really thought I would overcome this addiction this time (I tried to become PMO free a lot of times before, but I never tried it so serious like I tried it this 15 days). I´m now very frightened to fall again into daily PMO. The next days are the worse because I will tell myself that I can start tomorrow and tomorrow I will say the same and so on and so on…

    I deleted Instagram so that I cannot fall into this trap again, even I only used Instagram to get motivated by Nofap memes and -mempages which are very funny btw…(and helped me the last days).

    I´m also very religious, but in the last days I didn’t pray much because it feels like God seems a little bit apart from me.

    What I want to ask u guys is if you got any advice for me to not fall again and how I`m going to overcome the next days and how to let God help me to overcome this addiction?

    (Sorry for my bad English, and thank u for your answers)

    Prayer is obviously very important.
    Please do not let up on it. I am very very bad and keeping up with prayer, I get to distracted, and put it on the back burner and just end up never doing it. I believe that is part of the reason why I struggle so much with staying pure and away from porn.

    Secondly, yes it is not good that you relapsed. The feeling of shame and guilt you feel are expected, you did something wrong and your conscience is letting you know that you messed up. However, you already have come so far. You are not starting back at square 1. Maybe this incident has caused you take a step back, but you are not right back at the beginning, you now know more about yourself and what sets you off so that you can do better next time.

    God's love in infinite, and his mercy is deep, do not despair and let your stumble keep you from him love and from improving. Make and act of contrition and get to confession ASAP. Then pick your self up and keep going.

    Agreed on the prayer and confession. I find it helpful to go confess after I have watched porn, usually the day of even if I have gone two days in a row it helps me get in the right mindset

    I just noticed the date on this post. Strange to see 2021 as the post date. I ask the originator, is it really that old?

    Somebody removed the two old post here. But why? It doesn't make sense.

    It's simply an old thread Itachi resurrected when he commented on it back in December. I've been thinking about going through this group and cleaning up old stuff.
