    I can’t even stay home alone without relapsing

    My main issue is that ever since I started university, I used it as an opportunity to not masturbate. I would spend 6 days a week, 14 hours per day out of my house, at the university & travel, so that I wouldn’t be at home and end up fapping (I also do not view adult content whatsoever in this period)...
