    If you do so happen to relapse, the worst you could do is start blaming yourself and feeling like shit afterwards. Doing that will lead you in to that dark place you found yourself in before starting nofap.

    it's not worth the suffering.

    I went in a downward spiral recently. Relapsed on everything. Was really down on myself. I'm beginning to perk up some.

    You only fail if you give up.

    I'm not giving up.

    I agree 100%, there's no sense in beating yourself up over a failure that's already happened. It can only lead to negative feelings, and some of us are prone to relieving negative feelings with PMO...

    I would only add that it's useful to learn from every relapse. Instead of dwelling on a relapse, we should try to focus on what is to be learned from it. What caused it, what could have been done to prevent it, what was the trigger, what are the lessons for the future? As long as something new is taken from every failure, the experience is not completely negative.
