    I always seem to mess up my streak during or right before the weekends, I know a lot of techniques to get through them but it always happens whenever I wake up in the middle of the night and my thought process just messes me up. No excuses I know what I've done I just wanna know some things you all do to help you get through the weekends, thanks in advanced!

    Stay busy! That's a big one. One of the main reasons for relapses is being bored. That's when you have time to have urges. Do you have a hobby? If so, try to get better at that. If not, get one! Try new things (Make sure it wont be a trigger for you)

    Exactly what billybob said, staying busy is the key to getting through the weekends. As soon as you stop and realise you don't have anything to keep you occupied, that's when the thoughts and urges start creeping back. It's the perfect time to use all that bottled up energy on a hobby or skill you would like to improve on.
    Even better is to make a small list of things you can do and keep in on you throughout the weekend. As soon as you catch yourself with nothing to do and contemplating fulfilling those urges, look at that list and pick the first activity that catches your eye.

    Goodluck my friend!

    This about sums it up - stay busy! I like to go to the gym on the weekend, but taking a walk, spending time with friends or even just reading a book are great things. Staying active on the NoFap Forums is a good way to keep your mindset right too - lurk and post a bit!

    That being said, I've found weekends to be the most difficult - but I'm not relapsing this weekend, that I know for certain :D.

    What's been seriously helping me is either working or working out to the point where my body is always somewhat taxed.

    I don't think about porn at all. When I don't exercise, it all comes up again.
