Huge cause of relapse......

I wanted to add this since I've posted a few more things. Posting advice to people is also posting it to myself as a reminder. I successfully quit for a long time...and now that I've relapsed I have to remind myself how I did it last time.

I think one of the biggest causes of relapse when I first quit was touching and testing. I wanted to know that nofap was working to alleviate PEID...so I'd get anxious and then try to fantasize about normal stuff. I'd testing things out in the shower too...too see if I could maintain things for a few minutes. These were massive mistakes and often led to a relapse. I'd kick myself for not stopping soon enough, and then I'd get the "quit tomorrow" attitude and binge. No touching or testing.....stop yourself from laying around and daydreaming about sex. It's easier said then done but it really helped me get a very long streak going once I managed to nail those rules down.
