I just relapsed after my longest streak. Does the power all go away?

    I relapsed just a few minutes ago. It feels terrible but through my steel I gained confidence in social situations.

    I sit by this girl in school, and usually no girl talks to me, but she does. A lot.

    She waves and smiles at me in the hallway, says hey to me as I am walking to my car.

    I feel like it's thanks to NoFap.

    Does all my confidence or 'glow' to this girl go away? Or will it be a normal day if I don't binge relapse?

    I was wondering the same thing. I just relapsed (after 21 days) and I had that same confidence. I am supposed to be meeting up with this girl I am interested in on Friday for a test in school, but even just trying to have a conversation with my friend who I have known for a while, I just didn't know what to say

    I believe No unless you binged, I have relapsed many times highest streak of 21, it really did annoy me and haven't got to the goal again, I think if you don't "wack" of lots it shouldn't effect the process as much as if you did, e.g you relapse once your a few steps behind, if you relapse more I believe it takes more out of you and gives you less self worth about yourself. Just keep it up, long as you don't quit you should be fine I normally feel much better after about day 3 then just the massive urges get me which make me relapse sadly :(

    Very sad to hear that bro, I hope things get better in the future just, carry on with nofap and you should be able talk to her again once you have gained enough time. I have realised after day 6/7 I can talk to girls fully again but more days the better of course! :)

    There is no magic glow - just your general attitude, albeit given it's ups and down - but girls like guys and can grow close to guys in both their ups and downs - they are "people" in that way. You will easily be the same person tomorrow as today, despite your relapse.

  6. The more you relapse the worse your mood energy level gets in my experience, besides this build up effect there is also a weird delay... I often relapsed and thought "hey nothing has changed" but in a day or two I start dragging...

    This works out on two levels tho. Because the best thing you can do when you fall is not stop the fight, or even break your stride, learn from the mistake what you can and get back up and in the fight

    So no matter what: keep on pushing
