Hello everyone, hope you guys are staying safe and well.

Today I broke my streak of almost 2 months and a half. I went cold turkey during this period. I feel extremely disappointed today, I dont even know what happened. The urge to finally combust go too much for me and I feel as though I let my self down, specially knowing that if I gotten out of bed, I would held on another day.

I appreciate that this is a process that one needs to take sometime in. I tried this before couple of years back and only lasted 2 weeks, so I am very happy with times run.

I would like to know about some of your views as I am sure allot of us has gone through it. What should I do now.

I also learnt its best to use simple images rather than full pornographic videos if one was to break that streak, at least that way one is not exposing himself to that imagery.

Anywho, take care guys. Would like to hear from some of your advice and maybe similar stories.

Stay positive! If you wouldn't have failed you couldn't beat your new record! I for myself need to beat 4 months now. :)

We all face the same difficulties, especially myself! I had a longer streak with 3 months and then a year later with 4 months. Because of my failures and the regret I felt I kept away from trying to quit porn. Now a few months later I look back and realize I just wasted time denying myself becaues I wanted to quit that shit anyways!

Welcome on board, I am happy to have you here! So, create and journal and let's do this together brother!

Congratulations on 2.5 months! That is a great accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. There are many people on NoFap that would do anything to be able to go more than a week.
It sounds like you’re learning about your triggers and what you can do differently next time. You’re making progress. Some people get pretty discouraged after breaking their streak. But you shouldn’t. I think streaks are ok to track but you should really be looking at the bigger picture. You had one bad day in 75. That is really good! And you are now able to go much farther than you did the first time you attempted NoFap! So take these newly learned lessons and go farther this time. :)

A better way is to only use imagination , as ancient people did

Welcome
Please, start studying carefully what's happening in your mind > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

First time without porn will be stressful , but if you resist , in some months you will feel reborn.

If the first times a person relapse easly, it's okay.
The streaks becomes even longer , day by day.
Don't porn anymore, it's better to struggle and at the last to relapse than to look at porn.
No more instagram pictures of models. No more erotic imagines , erotic stories or erotic asmr.
If you experience ''flatline'' and low libido , resist.

An effective weapon to overcome urges and thoughts : mindfulness.
The brain will try to win you and to get some triggers for the seek of dopamine. Resist
