urge to relapse

Hi everyone, Fairly new here but I've been on the subreddit for awhile and have been battling this addiction for the last 15 years or so. Ive read so many books on the subject and took many courses and I've recently over the last year or so been having quite a lot of success. I've made a...

I decided to leave porn at the end of last May. Once June started, I deleted all my access to prn and tried to desexualise my mind. However weeks 1 and 2 were really hard, I couldn’t really concentrate on anything, but it lucky faded out quickly. However in the meanwhile, I recovered my X...

Hello Guys, I hope you're really doing great. I'm back to the 90 day challenge, just to wipe out those nasty pics of my mind; but unfortunately these first four days have been really challenging, especially yesterday where I almost relapsed by watching again those addictive pics and videos. I'm...

Hello one and all, today ive been sick, i still am, its not covid but due to being sick i have skipped a workout. Tomorrow I will get back on track on my workout schedule if im no longer sick. But the thing is that im having extreme urges right now because i havent blown off steam by working...

Hello everyone! I don't know if you already know this, or not and probably some of you already know this, some of you not, so I will say it anyway. Guys, the urges don't last... And I am talking about the length of the urge right when you are triggered. They don't last, but the problem is that...

I was bored, so I decided to check Instagram. I saw a picture that kinda aroused me, and I realized that I was just going on insta to find the occasional psub. Moving forward from that, I removed it from my phone, and I'm planning to block it entirely. But now I'm in a situation where I'm...

Hey Guys, Today I Was Getting Strong Urges. So, I Went To The Kitchen And I Ate Things Which I Love The Most. As I Was Enjoying The Taste Of The Food, The Urges Went Off. So Is There Any Relation Between Food & The Urges?? Please Let Me Know :) . Thank You & All The Best For Your Journey.

I'm in middle of doing my office wok or learning a new skill, didn't even come across a stimulating ad or even thought. Then all of a sudden, an urge pops up in my mind. Why does this happen and what should i do?

Hey Fapstronauts, I almost completely relapsed, but won out. After a productive day, I felt the sudden urge to watch porn. I watched my favorite kind for like ten minutes, just to feel the high, but did not touch myself at all. Strangely, I feel recharged in a way. I guess that was a bigger...

I don't actually know if mentioning name of the book is allowed here, so I will mention in the comments if it is OK and anybody wants to know. Anyways, here are some keypoints which I noted that I think are useful to know while recovery. 1. Try to notice every decision you make related to your...

I'm on day 20 of PM-Mode. It's gotten a bit rough. I'm dealing with chaser effects as I am still sexually active with my partner. When they aren't here (works some overnights) I find myself having the porn cravings set in, and get pretty intense. I have been able to control those urges so far...

weird observation - every time i switch from 4g to 3g, the desire to watch porn while on the internet decreases considerably. and when using 4g internet there seem to be a significantly higher intensity of urges. anybody else feel that ? i think the 4g radiation might somehow increase urges by...

Whenever i feel an urge or whenever i want to relapse, its because i want to watch porn, thinking that it will make me happier, more relaxed and focused. But it doesn't. It only makes me depressed and my brain turn to sand as i can't think straight. And i have to remind myself that if I dont...

Hello to all fapstronauts. I am a 22 y/o male and I am on my 125th day today. I've already got rid of all the stupid things that I used to think about while doing 'it'. Now when I think about it sometimes it's always with a girlfriend. Anyway, today I got an enormous urge in the afternoon. I was...

As I come to know that on Nofap when you get urge them it's ok to do sex with real women. Now I am confused that there is one girl who is coming close to me. I am getting these urges to fuck her. But I don't want to mix it with love as I am not sure of getting in relationship with her. And if do...

For all you non-alcoholics - I find it way easier to overcome urges when drinking a glass of beer! good luck

Share Your Urge Management Plan Success in rebooting is, in large measure, about creating new habits. Among these, a really important habit is to be able to recognize an urge to PMO, and then, having recognized the urge, to manage and cope with it without giving in. Even if you are really good...

Hi guys. About a month ago, I started nofap seriously. Before starting, I already wrote down everything that fap does to me, which is mostly negative, so that whenever I feel like to fap, I will read them, remember and not do it. But, for whatever reason at the 7th, sometimes 6th day, that...

Hey guys. Just a quick (and kind of weird) one - there is a psychedelic rock/metal band called 'Tool' and I found many of their song lyrics are helpful for recovering from addictions. Also, the music itself is excellent and can be very calming. If you listen to each song in detail, close your...

Hey everyone I started nofap on January 1st (I´ll be halfway through the 90 daay challenge on Valentines Day!), and haven´t hat much problems until now. However, since yesterday evening, a porn image appeared in my head and stayed there until now. I won´t give much details (for obv reasons)...

Now is 7th day, feeling urge to watch P, How to control? Please help

Hi, I find myself struggling a lot when urges hit me and I thought that there are others too who might have same problems. I made this group with intention of reaching out to people when urges are uncontrollable and talk to someone for a while until they are gone. Group voice chat really helps...

1.) I'll just P without the MO! No, you won't. You'll just P for 4 hours straight until you finally can't resist touching the bulge in your shorts. Voila, relapse. 2.) I'll just see what's new... There's nothing new. Nothing. "Oh, look, it's shot from a slightly different angle." "Wow, that...

Hi guys. I seriously need your help. I began NoFap around the end of September. The maximum streak I reached since then was more or less 5/6 days. I was doing pretty well: after every relapse I got more days and more. First 2 days... Then 3 days... Then 5/6... And then idk wtf happened My...

Today I used the panic button. I think that I'm actually having a war against practiving edging. My point has been to avoid O, but I am always relapsing on edging. Still no O's so far, but dang, sometimes, it seems not to be even worth it!! I have started to doubt quite a bit.. Hoping I can...

Hi everyone I’m at 85 days no PMO/artificial stimulation, but have had sex during this time. As I sit here and ponder how I’m feeling today, I just wanted to share and encourage feelings and discussion. While I feel proud to finally be working on improving myself from this nasty addiction, I do...

So it' nearly a month that I've started my new streak and today's urges are crazy!!! I do have a boner most of the times and the flashbacks of porn keep flooding my mind. Still I managed to control them... I laid down on the floor with my back facing the ground and observed my thoughts and...

I'm an 18 year old girl, and ever since my freshman year of high school I've watched porn and climaxed to it almost every day of my life. I've always been into romance, not sexual things. I've always wanted to have a very romantic and amazing relationship without having to have sex for at least...

Social media specially FB and IG have been the 90% of my triggers. 90% of my relapses have been because of that. The others, weed and alcohol. Remove triggers are essential to win the war. I´m almost in day 90. So it´s my first goal accomplished!! Despite all the benefits I have felt, I think...

I can't see any advantage and get a lot of urges Hi friends, I am on 18 day no PMO and iam 16 yrs old I have read in many threads that they start feeling lot of benefits after just a week but I don't feel any advantage and everything is same as it was iam unmotivated, unfocused and my biggest...

Yo what’s up guys, I’m a novice to NoFap. I started about 3 days ago and hoping to get to a minimum of 90 days. I’m doing this for the same reason I’m sure most of you guys are; just a healthier lifestyle. Over the last 3 days I have been getting urges which makes me doubt my success in this...

Greetings all, I'm kind of lost here and need just a quick guidance to just start me off (other than the free download guid). I'd say my sex life is pretty decent, but I would like to abstain from porn or even the usage of it completely. It all started when one day as a third year student I...

After 178 days of nofap, I finally fapped last night. This is because for the first week of nofap I felt on top of the world. Confidence, boosted mood, attraction, etc. Then after first week I spiraled out of control, developed depression, had low self esteem, and no motivation. Most of you will...

Hi, I'm 23 years old and lately I've been feeling that my masturbation and porn have become an addiction. It is sad to admit it, but I don't have control over my life anymore. I often used to go to the gym, however, I've been missing many days just to go home after work and masturbate. I just...

I thought we could have a list of things people do when they have an urge. So if you've done things that help you not relapse when you have an urge do share.

share your ways of dealing with them urges, who knows, maybe you'll save someones streak. Personally i stay far from the computer, sometimes even leaving comfort zone to go see people. What do YOU do?

O my god,I'm feeling such a strong urge right now,even my fingers are shakinggg while im typing this.I feel like I'm inevitably going to relapse now, but at the same time I soooo badly dont want to, after maintaining a streak of 1 week.I know that i'll have to be going to the same old shitty way...

Hi,I'm 17 years old,I started watching porn since I was in 8th grade i.e. 3-4 years back.Ever since then my porn consuming habit has increased both in quantity and quality(meaning the porn which gave me big highs i.e having fetishes).And now I feel like i've come to a "cannot get out" scenario...

Hey guys. I have been getting incredibly strong urges to fap since yesterday. My brain is trying to rationalize fapping and watching porn. Im so close to 90 days, but it's like I don't have any motivation to continue nofap right now. I have almost ZERO motivation to not watch porn and fap. Im...

I've been having trouble sleeping. I tried to take a nap yesterday afternoon. I fell into a light sleep. I woke up and and started touching myself while half asleep. I got up and had an intense urge to M. I didn't have any urges for porn just M. Thankfully I stopped myself. It was a close call...

Is my 19th day since PMO'ing. At day 17 I felt the urge to pmo, and I still continue to have that urge. Is there anything I can do?,I've been feeling stressed lately, and I want to break the habit. I also heard that after 21 days you officially broken a bad habit. It has not being easy, these...

here is a thread to show ourselves that in one of the life moment, we missed the thing that we could catch up on, but we PMOed instead. the sentence could be written like this: A PMO never saved my math course in 2005.

I won't make this thread really long, because I value your time. I just wanted to share a tip with all of you that may help you as it helped me, big time. We all have experienced procrastination at least once, whether that's doing the homework your teacher assigned you Sunday night or you were...

Hey guys, I'm on day 8 of my no-PM-streak now. And the Urges and Problems are getting bigger and bigger. I'm completely honest when I say, I've never made it past day 12 or something so far. The first few days of my streak, I always feel confident, strong, motivated and so on. But, normally as...

Hello. I want to use cold showers as main weapon to fight urges during Nopmo. But, when is better to use cold showers when you have very little urge, like when you just watch some hot scenes/pictures in your mind for seconds and then ignore it and again and again.. and have desire to fap, but...

Hi guys, So today I relapsed (MO), but without P. I was on day 50 and here are things that I want you guys to learn from my experience so you can either read this in the face of a relapse and know you're not alone or avoid getting to that place to begin with. 1. Was it effective as a stress...

Okay, I am currently on Day 6, but I have been getting so many urges that it is getting unbearable. These urges are mainly because of this stunning girl that I've seen at school today. Being a teenage boy with hormones, I instantly looked at her body... I feel terrible for sexualizing her, I...

As a business student in college, I wonder if Blue Coat knows of the loyal psychographic men out there that use their product to help them overcome PIED. All thanks to @Awakening123 I've been able to very well find hope in myself with this program. It has allowed me to sort of make a game out of...

Hey there! I started with NF because I realized that PM drew my attention away from my SO more and more and an interval of a few hours of PM just Is not acceptable. So far so good. However, after a while (approx one week) I started to have an urge of having sex with my SO despite the fact...

Before I had found out about NoFap, there was a period in time in my life where I went through a whole year without masturbating or watching porn. Now this happened back when I was 24 turning 25, I'm currently 31. If it's not made obvious by the title of this thread and my day counter, one can...

So, i was on my own the other day, letting my mind wander aimlessly. I noticed the keyboard stand in my room. Then an epiphany: What if i put my laptop there and stop sitting down. Maybe my impulses will be managed that way. So I tried it. I'm in the second day and I haven't relapsed yet. I...

Hello fapstronauts I am on day 62 but for the past 10 days I feel immense anxiety and my brain is like hyper active. I am not able to concentrate on anything for long duration. Also I get overwhelmed by the unreal scenarios my mind indulges itself into. To give you a context of my situation...
