    Heya, I'd like to ask something.
    I'm new to this thing so I would like to ask one thing.

    I'm going through 30 days PMO Reboot and my question is, If I should relapse after this "challenge" or just keep going to see, where I can get.

    Also, what is the difference between reset and relapse? I'd read the guide, but I dont seem to get it :/
     
  2. You should keep going. Do you want to be old and wondering where all your time went?

  3. Keep going. Always.
    A relapse is when you find yourself falling into your old habit of PMO. All of us judge 'what' exactly is a relapse a little differently, and you'll see it vary from member to member here. I don't know your aim behind doing the reboot, but I am assuming you wish at least a certain degree of more self control. When you lose that self control, midway through a challenge, that's the quintessential relapse.
    A reset is what follows after a relapse. That is, you pick yourself back up, dust yourself down, and you reset your Days counter, to give it another go. Until the day you can say with certainty and conviction, that you are no longer controlled by this urge.
    Hope that helps.

    Never relapse on purpose. I don't know why people do that : /

    This is a forever journey.

  6. Keep going. You wouldnt be rebooted if you want to PMO or MO after. Go to 90 days and see where you're at. 90 days is the average reboot time

    youre going to feel differently about nofap and about yourself after you complete the challenge, decide what you want to do after youve reached that point.

    personally im getting a lot of benefits and dont see a reason to go back to PMO or even MO. the only O i want now is with a woman.

  11. Tap the side-menu at the top left of the nofap page, and tap update Days Counter, there you can reset the counter.
