Empty Promises, I've never improved

    Why are all my streaks without urges...

    I feel like I haven't improved at all. It's either no urge and no relapse or there's an urge and I just fail. I don't want to complain, but this is really bothering me. If I check nofap often, I would probably relapse. If I don't check nofap that frequently, I often forget about the damaging effects of PMO.

    I just feel like I'm a piece of sh*t :(

    Its all part of the process. All successful rebooters have relapsed countless times before beating this addiction until they gain the experience and insight required to eliminate it completely from their life. One thing to always remember is to never go on a binge. Make the relapse is an opportunity to understand your triggers and thought processes involving pmo and will make u stronger if u learn from it. Always stay strong, never edge. If u relapse stop feeling sorry for yourself and start a new streak. If u accept that internally that pmo is wrecking your life u will never want to go back to it. Eliminate porn completely from your life for good.

    I can relate. As sb with alot of difficulties to completely remove porn of my life, i cant have suggestion with high confidence because if it worked id probably have longer streaks than today.
    Anyway I just want to share my thought here. I got in a situation today that led me to porn, my heartbeat went up and I even picked here and there but I resisted and didnt let it to become a full relapse. I wasnt 100 but for me and my history it was a victory.
    My point is, by putting effort in this lifestyle I think we eventually reach the desired level of control over our impulses.
    I suggest put your electronics in a public library where people can see your screen. It helped me ALOT.
    Yeah urges disable the rational mind but we need to resist. There is no going back
