Crap ...i relapsed

Keep at it. I know you can start over and do even better next time! Just dont give up! We all relapse. I've tried many times before to quit PMO and failed more times than I can remember. Its important that we both get back up and start again.

Relapses are part of the long process of recovery, keep strong and don't give up.

 

You must not watch any porn, even if you think just a little watching wouldn't hurt. It will hurt. Even if you stop, the next hours or even days the urge will grow and become almost uncontrollable. Just because of having watched a few seconds of porn. So never watch any porn. I observed this pattern many times on myself. For me the no. 1 reason for relapsing is to watch porn. Avoid porn at all costs.

 

I relapsed today, was starting nofapruary and didn't make it 24h. this is the first time i've made a conscience effort to stop and its like my brain is fighting back and doubling the cravings.
I'm still confident i can do this, I'll get straight back on with nofap.
this forum definitly helps, nice to know we're all in it together

 

Honestly, porn is the worst when you relapse. If you are in that state and you know in your mind that you are going to relapse, then just MO. Avoid PMO at all costs, it sets you back alot further.

 

The thing is you have to realize that your brain wants to trick you into "peaking" at the triggers. Just a quick look, right? But that's how it starts.

 

Shit man, I had my first relapse today too. Nine days in. You'd think because it had been awhile I'd want to really prolong the session, no I simply went to MFC and took care of myself rather quickly and uneventfully. What a shitty way to relapse. I was on automatic mode. I'm very happy about the nine days though and know that I allowed myself to indulge with certain triggers. I know better now. Was it worth it? Maybe for the incite on futileness of masturbating for the sake of it. This needs to stop. Anyway, here I go again. In 9 minutes it'll be DAY ONE again.

 

PigMan, don't be so hard on yourself bro! I was on Day 11 and I relapsed today. All we gotta do is believe in ourselves and keep pushing at it.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate the words. In the past, I've read forums but never did I see myself as a forum writing guy, let alone one that helps dealing with this kind of "sickness". This helps, as does sharing thoughts with like-minded people.

 

Don't give up heart fellow fapstronaut!

We all fall down a few times. But it's the will to get up and try again that determines whether we succeed in our goals, be they no fapping, or general life goals.

Whenever I relapse (I have a couple of times), I think of how babies learn to walk. Nobody can start walking in one go. You fall multiple times you might even hurt yourself, but you NEED to keep going. That's how you start walking. And that, is how you stop fapping.

Keep going and keep your mind busy to ward off any potential triggers. Best wishes!
