I have failed for almost 100 times . I think this is so hard for me . My longest streak is 2 weeks , but I havent ever reach 1 month. Im here to ask a question. How many time do you guys relapsed to achive a 1 month streak?
The most important thing is to not lose hope. Think of each streak you do as the streak that will reach 30 days. I've been trying to reach 30 days since August of 2018 and my personal best was 18 days. It's a different process for each of us. Stay strong, my friend!
as @dogeatdog said, don't lose hope. If you fall 100 then get up 101. It honestly depends. There's times I've knocked out 3 months no problems. Other times I can't go 2 days. I believe the true measure of character is how we handle the hard fights. The ones that seem like losing battles. Any one can fight an easy, winning fight. How do we fight the ones and all odds are against us? How do we handle the ones that 100 people watching are certain we'll lose? That's where manhood comes from.
Buddy streak is not only thing that is important.Keep going with nofap,this is hard addiction and this is not easy to handle.It's normal for someone who trying hard to fail sometimes,don't lose hope.My best streak was 269 day no PMO hardmode,but i relapsed last time when i was on streak 5 or 6 day there is really no rule.
I just finished a relationship and this was the pivotal moment that I feel made me actually feel I have had enough and don’t want to PMO anymore! I think you will need to hit a bottom and have a life situation that you feel was totally fucked up by your porn usage. If you are struggling, look back to what drew you to start nofap. Really focus on the emotional response and how low you felt, if it’s impacted relationships which I feel most of mine have been, the last one in particular. I am annoyed and embarrassed by myself, and this anger is really driving me now. I have spent time looking at the urges and the hatred of losing my last partner helps them die down.
From my experience the hardest part is the first 2 weeks - more specifically, the first 3-4 days. After that, it gets really easy really fast. After a couple weeks, the rest of the 90 days are a cake walk. It's amazing how much your dependency can change over such a short period of time.
It could be if you're an addict, if so that would explain difficulty staying off, addicts without a complete change of heart with practical daily activities to grow into sober living always relapse that is the definition. I slipped thousands of times, which makes be think I am an addict, happily I am a sober one Almost a hundred slips makes it hard to diagnose, which is not another person's job by the way you are the only one with a right to diagnose yourself others could give advice, personal experience or data but you decide for you and I decide for me. One thing that Really helped me get clarity was seeing a years long pattern of increasing sexual thoughts and actions in my history that if projected however conservatively would mean an unhappy life for a long time. You might not have enough data on your patterns to draw a firm conclusion yet. Oh one more thing to keep an eye on as evidence for it against it being addiction is whether various things you try work, for instance if you try things like diet exercise sleep hobbies self will therapy etc etc and something works then who cares about anything else except the question can that fix work indefinitely? If you try many things and they don't work that is evidence in favor of addiction.
