    Can I escape this PMO addiction and never look back. It's been 8 years that I am addicted to it. Maximum I've went was 10 days 2 times. My dopamine is fried, have PIED, ED, PE, joints in my body pops and have grown weak and what not. Still I am relapsing again and again, year after year, month after months. I am 26 yrs now. I just don't want my life to be over without reaching my true potential but years of failure says I can't succeed. Sometimes I think suicide is better than this shitty lifestyle but then again I won't do it as it not the solution.
    All my friends are earning money and buying car and here I am just getting by from paycheck to paycheck, no motivation, ambition nothing. Everything is drained away man. Please help. I don't know how to succeed anymore. Years of relapse. Please help, it's been years and maximum I can go without PMO is 3 days, I've lost so many things, my health, brain, body power, dopamine receptors, sexual health, wealth etc. and I am loosing everything thats is left, no matter what motivation video I watch or whatever I do, cold shower, meditation still I relapse. I cant see myself as a failure please.

    Suicide is never an option! With that clear, it´s not only about the result but also about the journey. The journey may be long and winding but if you do everything in your strength to improve it, you will meet your goals! Successfully completing hard goal like NOFAP takes time. Trust me, when I first started, I was going through similar shit. What really helped me back then was hanging out with friend (only had one at the time) and going to the gym. And because I was persistent, I got the results I wanted. Now I can say I have a great amount of friends, high confidence and most importantly I am happy with myself. This awaits you my friend, if you will be persistent. Even if you fail million times, remember. It is about the journey, not the destiny!

    I believe it too that perseverance is the key but I've been continuously relapsing on day 3 or 5 since 2 or 3 years. If it was that easy.

    Feel you mate, am 27 myself, have probably gone through the same shit. But managed to get on a decent streak once again, let me share what helped me and what your results can be:

    -Use 2x day counters, one for your present streak, one which you simply count the days since you began the nofap journey.
    - Block all your favourites websites on Computer & Phone (with hosts file as example)
    - Exercise every day! (This really works as a cornerstone for me)

    This is the beginning, the further you get on your streak, the more additional change you can make as Example:
    - Eating healthy
    - Deleting social media
    - Getting a more conscious use with Internet and Smartphone
    - etc

    160 days ago i felt similarly shit like you, so please let me tell you:
    - suicidal ideation completly fades, i too struggled with this for years
    - social anxiety more or less completly gone
    - you will become super calm and collected.

    As example i could easily buy a car but i rather invest it because that makes much more sence long term.
    You simply wont need external approval anymore and you will feel good about it. I know, its basicly unimaginable at the beginning, but try to get started and try to continue.

    In the you will know where to go further from there.
    Good luck and all the best.

    Thanks for the tips brother but as you should know I keep counter (always reset after 3rd day relapse), exercise and meditate but nothing seems to work it out for me. I build extra heat, energy and uncontrollable urges that takes over my conscious mind.

    Thats why i say use 2x counter not just one and do you block all Websites? In my case it really gave me the boost i needed.

    Yes bro I've blocked everything but when urges hit I use mental images, anything that can get me off. By 2x counter you mean ?
