    On my first try in may I made it to 43 days of nofap hardmode, it wasn't too hard to abstain actually the really difficult thing that lead to my relapse were the withdrawal symptoms that I didn't (and still dont) know how to deal with. I felt incredibly lonely and craved companionship (i'm a 21 year old virgin). Since then i've been PMOing and edging even more so than before my first try that i'm losing control, I need some actual advice on how to deal with the withdrawal symptoms so I can retry again because stopping PMO isn't in itself that hard, I just knew relapsing would take away the emotional stress (and it has), I was facing exams at the time and I needed a clear head so I relapsed on purpose, in the end I was successful but I want to try again

    please help me

    Difficult to know what to really say that might help, but be happy you achieved 43 days as that's an incredible achievement in itself. As for relapsing taking away emotional stress, that's a difficult one to answer as you say it helped at the time. Now you've passed this stressful period of exams try remembering the those 41 days you've achieved pmo free and use the relapses as a motivator to start you on the road to recovery again. Focus on your recovery, commit yourself to researching the problem, post daily in a diary to keep track, and put your mind to something, a hobby, something to take your mind away from urges. Don't give up, is the best advice. If can get to 41 days you can do the full reboot and get pmo out of you life, I believe.

    Hi CaptainKid. 43 days is amazing! Whatever you did, do it again. As to the withdrawal symptoms, continue finding ways to improve your daily life with positive activities. Find things that you enjoy,and do them. Better yourself with goals, excercising, healthy dieting, helping others etc.

    Thanks for the encouraging words, I'll take the advice you gave me and if it doesn't work i'll simply ask again and we can discuss then (when I start feeling all those emotions again). I remember what I was like around the days before I relapsed, I was incredibly tough and aggressive, didn't give a shit about anything and overall felt like a badass, I was incredibly confident to the point that I was cocky. It felt great but the withdrawal symptoms were too tough to handle.

    I don't really dislike the way I am now, I'm still a very confident and social guy despite my addiction, the whole reason why I want to do nofap is because i'm worried about erectile dysfunction when I get older and become (hopefully eventually) sexually active, that's my only concern.
