3 relapses in 2 days. Feeling hopeless.

Yes, I have even relapsed 4 times in a day.

 

Oh yes many many times. This addiction is so hard to quit. That said I do think it is possible by putting a proper plan in place and checking our thoughts. The mind has a cunning way of tricking us by somehow justifying watching porn, things like just once more, what the hell might as well, I'm bored, I feel lonely, all kinds of tricks it plays and these thoughts creep up on us when we don't expect it, I can get them standing in line in a shop and then when I'm home indulge. This is why I think we need to read up as much as we can on how the whole thing works and put a plan in place which includes accountability. I am in a desperate situation which is why I joined NoFap after trying all kinds of other things. I know now there is no magic cure and we have to do the hard work ourselves but it has helped by postiing on here and reading other guys posts. If we work as a group we will benefit and help each other and in doing so help ourselves. But, just thinking we can just stop and it will all go away is a delusion I know and understand that as well now. It won't we have to work at it by giving and seeking the support and help of others. Good luck on your journey

 

Dont worry man,its imperative that you dont quit,learn from the relapse and try to avoid the chaser effect its more bad than the relapse itself

If you were addicted to heroin, you would not let it sit on the kitchen counter while you try to get rid of your addiction to it, right?

There is a reason ANY substance addiction therapy starts with getting the patient clean for a couple weeks, and then start the actual therapy. But in your case, you try to willpower your way through this, while you have cocaine and heroin on your bedside.

GET A FILTER!
You need to make sure you have no access to porn, no matter how weak you get. This is your first task.

Change the DNS server on your internet router, activate the router's parental control option, change the admin password of your router, so that you cannot access it, write the password down (something like Hjzud5df$16451§df§) and immediately give it to a person you trust, so there is no way you can remove your filters.

Now that there is no way you can access anything, you can finally come clean and get your first 90 day streak.

It is your life, stop wasting even another single day, start to actually live. Porn is not real! It is pixels on a screen, you don't have sex, you have your dick in your hand, that's not a good use of your time.
