Hey guys! I just wanted some quick advice.
I noticed that during the month January and early February, when I began losing my grip on NoFap, I always ended up relapsing (without porn) after a week plus streak. Honestly, letting go of what I'd done and getting my feet back on track with abstaining from these things may have been the smarter thing to do, and would've probably gotten me further in my journey to recovery rather than haven taken me in the opposite direction.
Most of the time, after ejaculating once after these streaks, I usually felt no guilt nor that much of a change in my energy levels or mood. I thought I would remain fine for the rest of the time and let go of it, but something within me kept telling me to do it again and again and again (I've done it a max of 3 times in 24 hours). This is what I've seen described as the chaser effect, and it is also when my problems arose.
I am asking for advice this time because 1) I am taking NoFap more seriously again and 2) I just MO'd without the use of anything else because I guess working out really pushed me to do it. I feel fine, but I don't want to keep committing the same mistake over and over again, and keep degrading my mental, physical and emotional state like I was back in these early months of 2021.
Any help on how to deal with this for when it comes would be appreciated!
