I Need Change

    Perhaps that should be my new profile name? :D

    Anyway, straight to the point: I'm sick of the way my NoFap journey is going. Like every single time, when I relapsed a few days ago, I told myself 'this time will be different' but then I thought: why should it? What's different each time?

    I never learn, I relapse to the same thing over and over and quite frankly, the way things are, it's not doing me any favors.

    I've been thinking, and I'm honestly tempted to create a new plan:

    Go cold turkey on porn for 30 days. Fap once a week MAX.

    After 30 days no porn, start to cut down fapping (at which point I will (maybe?) be watching no porn).

    As it stands, I'm probably fapping 2-3 times per week, so even though the new plan isn't cold turkey, it would still be an improvement.

    I just can't go on the way things are. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: cold turkey is just not working for me.

    I feel like I need to adjust my goals to something a little more reachable, or at least make the journey a little less steep even if it makes the process longer.

    Opinions?

    Thanks for the support :)

    A few months ago, I would have agreed. For the last few weeks, however, I've realized that cold turkey just doesn't work for me personally. I tried the method that I described back in 2016, and i managed to go about 2 months porn free which I've never achieved since. I only lost that streak when I went cold turkey with the masturbation.

    As you say I'll give it a go and see what happens :)

    man, you have nothing to learn from relapses. Just make the choice to go 90.

    I realistically must have relapsed 100's of times. Something is clearly not working.

    it's a decision that you can make if you concentrate for a minute. Seriously.
