    I strongly feel the urge to say that. I know I'm nowhere near where the guys and gals who have been abstaining for 90+ days are but I also know that this forum has been a positive and encouraging experience in my path. I had gone on as long as a 14 day streak with relapse but I'm feeling super positive about this journey. my urges are becoming easier to....'handle'. my days are getting longer. this 6 day reboot has been awesome. I'm positive about a lot of things. i've been doing this since the late fall. I haven't lost hope. I won't lose hope. I'm a more likeable person because I'm liking myself more each day. I have less regrets in the choices i make in my life, i'm finally becoming the man husband,dad and friend i deserve to be for myself and the world i live in.

    I would never see a relapse as a setback. Fuck that shit. i would never think less of my mistakes as damaging. I see them as encouraging. inspiring. I hope what i say inspires others as well. Stay strong. moving forward is better than not moving at all. <3

    Well said.

    I recently relapsed myself, after reaching my longest streak of four weeks. I don't feel bad about it.
    Like yourself, I'm seeing this as an opportunity to grow and become a better person. I did not let it bring
    me down. It's like you said, 'moving forward is better than not moving at all.'

    I agree! no man is an island indeed. In the past I often tried to impose healthy schemes on my life to get some sense of structure in all the world's madness. Ascetic programs that ballooned my ego to the saints for a couple of days - followed up by wicked punctures of all too human eventualities.

    Coming ot nofap i learned a lot from the pdf download Brainhacks and I feel really uplifted to see so many other guys grappling with the same issues of enslavements to short term gratification.

    You and all the other guys remind and reinforce me of the hidden, but very real sense of something more deeply gratifying: a happy, healthy life with self respect, acknowledgement of our fallibility and encouragement for our inner strength. I can't do this alone, I need to be part of a group that lifts me up. No man is an island indeed!
