Relapse after 45 days (what I’ve learned)

So true man, I reduced my screen time from 2h to 30 min a day and I am on my day 37 now, that is an absolute record for me. I keep myself busy basically with my life, just trying to improve the quality of my life and that works for me. I have never ever before gone longer than one week. So I think people should first fix their bad habits first instead of focusing so much on nofap then we would have so much success stories.

 

Just want to say a massive congratulations on your very impressive 45 day streak! That is an immense achievement and will have done you so much good. When we relapse, it is all to easy to focus on the fact we relapsed and become negative. However I see no reason for sadness here, yes 1 relapse, doesn't take anything away from your amazing 45 day streak. As long as you get right back on the horse. You are doing so well! Well done.

You are right as well about the screen time. People should do social media detox's often anyway- fill your time with meaningful pursuits- as you said.

 

nofap isn't only about measuring days, that should only be a minor aspect
Much more important is the change that is occurring in your life, of course minimizing "screen time" is part of that change, but even more importantly is a change of mind, like priorities in life, like discipline, in other words engaging in new practices even if you don't feel like it and being religiously consistent with them
sex needs to be put back into it's natural context, rather than this holy sacrament that we are all after....
why is everything "sexualized"? because we are repressing a lot of shit...sexual expression can happen through dance, through art and even just walking around shirtless in the summer!
We are sexual beings by nature, but on a deeper level we are also spiritual beings and spirituality transcends the opposites of male and female and the constant sexual tension between them....
