    I need advice from a long term rebooter. Someone who'd consider themselves a 'worst case scenario' and got through it all


    I'm making it three or four days and I had a 19 day streak a few months ago. I keep relapsing but I have absolutely no clue why!!! I'm not at home a lot, and even when I am I can make it without relapsing until the third or fourth, or fifth day. I've gotten rid of the computer so it's all cellphone now. I'm not angry, or sad, or depressed when I do. It just feels right and I do it, and regret it. Before I knew boredom is the reason, so I occupied my time. But now it just seems to happen no matter what mind set I'm in. I go into autopilot. I've used motivators, I've had other people motivate me and I've had a potential (and former) sexual partner motivate me to just stop but I don't. I feel like I need to know why, but I can't figure it out at all. There is no reason for me to be doing it! It's frustrating as hell and i dust myself off and don't let it get to me, but damn!!!! It's slowly beginning to. Has any one else gone through this?.

    I've tried many times to reboot: 4years ago for 13days, 2years ago for 60days. But after that tries i have understand something, i've let myself fall to the bottom to take support on it and push myself out. Thus i think accumulate angry and determination to one day fix an unbreakble decision is maybe a good strategy.

    Maybe wait two month and wake up from porn dream and taste if you can go for a reboot or not.

    I've spent a lot of time failing and failing and failing over and over again. Just keep getting up each time you fall. Also, think about the reasons you might have failed. Getting rid of the computer was good. Maybe try putting a porn blocker or Internet filter on your phone now as well. Try to create routines that you can follow. Just remember one thing, if you're only relapsing every 3-4 days after previously fapping multiple times a day, you're making progress.

    Don't rely on motivation. Motivation is bullshit.
