    These last months I've been living like I've never heard of NoFap, or even worse. I'd get a streak here and there, but they've all failed. Now I feel like I can't go a day since I'll just lose all motivation and just pmo because screw it. I am 17 BTW, just throwing that out there.

    I've seen the cycle of relapse when I am on a good streak... It goes like this:

    Have work to do -> Procrastination ON! -> Youtube for dank memes and youtubers -> Will see one of those cropped drawn P pics (won't spell it out just in case) in the comment section -> Reverse google image that -> In similar images I will find some uncropped images -> Think 'screw it, I've failed now... have to reset counter' -> Decide to binge to 'make use of the moment' -> Unable to do work after edging and PMO -> Since I don't have a streak, PMO to get rid of bad 'have to do work' feeling and shame of past social situations -> Time passes -> Don't care about nofap anymore and just fap many times daily...

    I realize binging is worse than just doing it, I realize edging is also really bad, I realize that if I see P I can still say no... But my brain doesn't care... Not the lizard one at least.

    So, with that info, I have a couple of questions. How do I get the drive to say the initial no again? When I get my first urge or even the SLIGHTEST of desire, I go for it usually. And after that, do you have any tips on preventing the cycle? Whether it's tips on stopping procrastination or blocking youtube or ANYTHING, please post it!

    Sorry for this wall of text, have a great streak and day you all.

    P.S. Whatever my counter is saying, it's false.

    You have the answer in your process: where did it all start?
    Procrastination is definitely one of the hardest things to overcome because us as young people have ao many damn distractikns wether its funny videos or cool stuff on youtube or facebook, its EASY to get distracted. My opinion, is find a way to set yourself on track. im pretty sure theres stuff you can install on your computer to keep you in check and i know theres stuff for phones as well. i have on where itll shut off every single app access for a set amount of time, and after i clik the button theres mo going back. this has helped especilly when i get urges badly. Another suggestion is only use the internet around either somebody whis gonna keep uou in check like a parent, or out in public like a school library. in these situations, you cant relapse because well itd be weird. But you also gotta help yourself too. Sometimes i think using my laptop in front of my parents is too much but hey were dealing with a behavior thats taken control of our lices, we should be willing todo anything to get rid of it.
    This include blocing youtube for starters. hell even block google if you have to. personally google images has been my demise for my streaks. lay off on as many thjnga where potential triggees can happen as long as uou need to get control of your behavior. make the days count dont focus on the streak, make sure yiu end each day knowing you won a battel

    I just found my self in you. this is the same cycle i've been going through plus the fact that i am more interested to weird type of Porn like transwomen and junior idols (cringing while typing.). since we are very similar, can we become accountability partners? I know this is not the right venue for this but it is very rare to find a very similar case to myself.
