    Hi everyone, glad to be back here after about 2 months without internet (moved house).

    I just want to introduce myself and get some things off my chest. I have just relapsed again to porn just an hour ago and I feel pretty sick about my actions. I just want to share my story and would like some tips if any of you guys would share some with me.

    So my nofap journey has lasted well over a year now, and I achieved a 92 day streak in that time, as well as shorter streaks of 40 days sometimes. But now that has changed. I am hopelessly addicted to masturbation once more (as I mentioned earlier, have been without internet for 2 months so no porn in that time). And last night our internet finally got connected. Within an hour I was back to square one, browsing reddit nsfw subs and eventually getting onto porn sites.

    I have masturbated about 7 times since our internet got put on. That's about 32 hours.

    So now I feel bad. The past few weeks have not been easy for me (girl trouble) but that's not an excuse.

    I would like to improve my life in other ways in addition to nofap, such as meditating daily (any tips would be wonderful as I have little clue as to how to do it). Any other activities you guys can name would be greatly appreciated.

    Would like to add that due to my streaks averaging 7 days or so, in addiction to my 92 day streak really have improved me from what I was. I;m still looking for the guy that I can be, but I'm closer. I can talk to girls properly now, make them laugh, smile and look them in the eye.

    But all that will go to waste if I can't pick myself up now. This is MY battle, and I have to overcome this stuff, so if you know of any motivational vids or stuff that could help just send them my way.

    Also I have installed an app that blocks certain websites. I'm not a fan of this method, as you can become dependant on these apps to aid your struggle, but I have blocked reddit and imgur (both huge triggers for me) and a few other sites so I will give it a shot.

    I am going to stay off the r/nofap sub as reddit just triggers me so much.

    Thanks for reading

    Hey man,

    Congrats on sticking at this for a year and 92 days is a very impressive streak!
    With regards to meditation, I think this link is helpful -http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=143525223

    I've also found working towards other goals helpful and achieving small targets gives you confidence in all aspects of life including nofap. For instance on this streak (day 10 so far) I've been attempting the 100 push up challenge. Completing each workout and tracking my daily progress makes me feel good and teaches me you can do anything if you master self-control and persevere at things. http://hundredpushups.com/week6.html

    Keep strong,

    Vezo

    I've started running and would recommend the Couch-to-5k Running Plan. You'll start slowly and progress to longer runs. Focus on the life you are building NOT the life you want to leave behind. See the quote on my signature below. Socrates knew what he was talking about! :cool:
