    so I am only on day 3 1/2 of no adult content or fapping and i must say i am struggling. The worst time for me is in the morning when i first wake up. Before i started the NoFap program i would wake up, check my emails then spend the rest of the morning surfing adult content, chatting to people, and fapping. Over the past 3 1/2 days i've realized that my worst impulses and cravings come in the morning and they are very very hard to fight off, so hard infact that as i type this thread i have seriously considered multiple times searching up adult content and it has become very hard to focus on anything without my mind drifting off to adult content. I have deleted the vast amount of pics and videos from my laptop as well as installing cold turkey on my laptop to block the sites that i use however i still have my cell phone that has uncensored internet access and i also have a tablet that has uncensored internet access, even worse that that the tablet still has adult content pictures that i really want to delete but i feel like if i open it up i'll end up relapsing instead of deleting the pictures and moving on. the tablet is dead right now so that's helping since i can't turn it on but in the back of my mind i know that i can just plug it in and i'll have acess to adult content again. Hopefully my mornings will become easier for me, i've been trying to get into a new routine to help break the cycle but it is so hard to stay focused, thankfully in about a week i'll be starting a new job and will not have the time in the mornings to fap or look at adult content and i will also have something to draw my attention and keep me busy, until then tho it is a struggle minute by minute. I have almost relapsed 12 times in the past 3 1/2 days, i haven't actually looked at any content or fapped yet thankfully but it has been very hard not to. I feel as if if i do have a relapse it'll end up being in the morning, the other issue is that my house is always empty in the mornings, it's just me usually so i have the privacy that i need as well, the rest of the day isn't as hard for me since i have people home with me and it's hard to find the privacy, when people are around i only find myself having urges when i am in the bathroom alone. I am looking forward to starting my new job because i know it will help me eliminate my morning cravings so much easier, and it'll provide me with something to focus on. Until then tho its a constant minute by minute struggle. I have almost stopped typing the thread 4 times since i started it, i have sent messages to someone who was kind enough to reach out to me and i have tried to keep myself occupied with the threads and posts but it is still very very hard. Good luck to everyone out there and thank you for reading.

    I struggle in the morning as well. For me its waking up with morning wood ready to go. I just have to force myself to get up and start getting ready for the day

    A male's testosterone level peaks in the morning. It's his daily cycle, much like a female's monthly cycle. So, expect your urges to be strongest when you wake up. I've always recommended promising yourself aloud and emphatically several times as soon as you awaken: "I will not masturbate today!" Then get up and go about your day. The urge will pass. This also helps you take it one day at a time, instead of looking at the seemingly impossible task of a long streak.

    My worst time is actually at night. My schedule has me up and moving in the morning and usually I'm focused on getting out the door on time to work. But after I get home and I'm on my couch watching TV with my day behind me, that's when I start feeling the urge to "just look" at porn or text a buddy and get some chat going.

    you brain will always think of porn when you don't have anything to do, especially on your first days of Nofap, because that what you used to do before Nofap, so always plan ahead what you gonna do in your day to eliminate the thinking process (what I am going to do now) where your thinking of porn will occupy your brain.
