    My fellow Fapstronauts,

    I just relapsed.

    And so I am here, reading and feeling as low as ever. And as I have been scrolling, I've seen other who recently or just reset and my heart goes out to you. I would not wish the crushing feelings of sadness on anyone.

    I read something that someone said and it really stuck in my mind, paraphrasing, 'you only truly lose a battle when you stop fighting it'

    So take heart my friends and don't give up. I feel awful right now. But I am not giving up, and neither should you. It took Edison nearly 10,000 tries to invent the lightbulb. 10,000! If he had quit trying at 9,999, he would have been another nobody in history!

    So persevere my friends. It can be done. You can fail 10,000 times but you need only succeed ONCE.

    Hi mate, see if this post and the links it contains help?

    http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?3683-Acceptance-Enjoyment-and-Enthusiasm

    Also if you haven't seen this one tis also very helpful... http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?3686-Freedom-of-choice

    You may have already seen these and there's a fair bit in there but repetition can be the key and you need to get your enthusiasm (fuel!) levels back up. If I remember correctly when Edison was asked how he felt about 'failing' so many times he said something along the lines of he never considered anything a failure ever, just a process of eliminating what doesn't work.

    Re-fuel, double check your 'map', and keep going! :)
