Masturbating once is not a "relapse" it's a "reset" - Risky/excessive masturbation can be a relapse.

hi Sonny Crocket,

keep going man. All your comrades on NoFap are supporting you!

 

Keep going bro. It is good to see you having self-reflection. Failure is a stepping stone to the best of yourself. Always believe in yourself and quit all possible triggers. You will surely eebuild a new life. Counting day is a good target to motivate ourselves to improve. Just to remember, days do not equal to the progress of recovery. (Which is what we pursue ultimately——Becoming fresh and blood. Feeling powerful as we never experienced).


If you don't mind, let me share some of my experience: The last time I failed was due to emotion. The experience reminds me of being alert for stress and emotion. Hence, I set up a new approach for myself: I tried to reduce the amount of meat in my meal, and somehow my mind was generally getting peaceful. When the urge come put down everything, I could easily calm myself down, and then go clean up my room. Removing all unclean stuff (like removing garbage in mind), and put things back to the way they should be, would certainly helps to clean up your mind.

If you don't mind, let me share an inspiring story of success that touches me to you. Hopefully it helps

Thank you.

 

Thanks for clarifying brother. Appreciate the post

 

I was into a month of no masturbation but then had a relapse two days ago: at least that's what I thought it was until I found this forum!
So I don't feel quite so bad.
I don't feel I want to masturbate again and I did it without watching porn, although I did fantasize about previous porn sites I had visited: so maybe not totally clean to claim reset rather than relapse!
I am nearly 6 months into no porn so I feel good about that.
