    Hi! 10 days so far and doing great. I have more energy and motivation but I have a question. On days when I have a hangover I feel much more need to watch P and M. My discipline is completely gone on those days. Any of you familiar with this situation? Any useful hints?

    Don't get hungover.
    Alternate your drinks with water.
    If you're going to drink multiple kinds of drinks, start with the heavy stuff. Liquor > wine > beer.
    Put a glass of water next to your bed before you go out drinking, and drink it right before you go to bed.

    Bro I totally know what you mean, I get stupidly horny when hungover and usually knock out at least 3..

    This is my first NoFap effort, currently on day 9 and not had a hangover yet, but I'm going out Friday and unless I get laid I don't know if I will be able to survive...

    As for not getting a hangover, nothing works for me ha.

    Nothing seems to truly ease the pain of a hangover. Drink lots of gatorade or another equal electrolyte rich beverage before you retire. Do the same when you wake up. Hangovers are in essence caused by severe dehydration. Knowing that, there are some things you can do to combat it.

    It's very common for many people to feel more tempted to relapse when hungover, sick or depressed. It's pretty hard to get over it. But as opposed to getting sick or depressed, getting hungover is something you can actually actively avoid being. So as others have pointed out before, drink a lot of water when you get drunk, especially before you go to bed. I actually drink 2-3 big cups of water mixed with a bit of salt before I go to bed after a night of heavy drinking. It's technically the same thing as beauty mentioned (electrolytes) but I'm more likely to find salt in my household than gatorade.

    When you do wake up and find yourself hungover, try to fall back asleep or FORCE yourself out of bed and under the shower. Remind yourself that PMOing is not going to make the hangover go away. Showering, brushing your teeth and drinking lots of water might actually work a lot better with that, so do those instead.

    I've experienced that shit so many times. During a hangover you just don't give a fuck about anything, so you might as well relapse, but after relapse you get this "relapse hangover from a hangover relapse."

    Nothing is going to help. Why?

    My theory is that your dopamine-receptors (and your GABA-A-receptors and GABA-B-receptors too) are fucked up after heavy drinking. There are going to be these cravings and hormonal disbalances, because hangover is also a withdrawal symptom. We all know how much porn and masturbation has to do with dopamine, so I'm not going to explain it further.

    The hydration thing is good, but it doesn't make your hangover go away, it just helps your body to heal a bit and might even prevent the headache, but hangover is more than that.

    If you're serious about NoFap, then you have to stop using alcohol or at least lessen the amount of it. If you can't, then you could also have a drinking problem.

    Hello I m new to the forum but old to this type of feeling.After getting back home I usually lay on bed and try to sleep so I can forget about 'bad things'.Best advice, do not drink till the point you dont care about nothing .Overall after finishing this experience you will be stronger and control yourself better or even better have a girlfriend :)
