i just relapsed twice in one day and o haven’t done that in a very long time it wasn’t to p but its still a relapse, i’ve been sitting in bed all day. Any tips for not being bored and sitting in bed all day…THE ONLY reason i relapse is boredom, but i’m only a teen so there’s not much to do. Any tips would help
 
Try programming. But think about something you would like to have and make a project out of it. A website? An App? A Game? Script for convenience?

Programming is so much fun and you get creative. There are also so many resources to learn it without the help of school or university, just go to YouTube and search for a couple of people.

Other activities: walking and listen to music / calling friends, exercise at home or in the gym, running, swimming, riding your bike, writing a diary, learning an instrument and much more :)

I love programming and it can be a good distraction, but I personally don't think it's the best because (1) it's easy to get stuck on hard problems, which take a lot of energy to solve and (2) you're on a computer (most likely with internet access), which are both problematic things for me.

Your other suggestions:

walking and listen to music / calling friends, exercise at home or in the gym, running, swimming, riding your bike, writing a diary, learning an instrument and much more :)

are great though! Anything that gets you away from the computer and involved in something wholesome.

So the hard, ugly truth here is that this is an addiction, not a simple bad habit like biting your fingernails or driving fast. This is absolutely an addiction that embeds itself in every fiber of our souls to the point where during times of temptation, its literally ALL we can think about. I know, I've been in my addiction for 30 years now. But I've been actively fighting it for about 4 years now. The ugly truth is that there is no easy answer to avoid relapsing/resetting. You just have to find the willpower within yourself to fight this addiction and win. How badly do you want victory over it? Bad enough to join a local SA group (www.sa.org/f2f) and get a sponsor and make a phonecall whenever you feel tempted? Bad enough to seek therapy from a CSAT therapist?

I hope you see this addiction as the truly devastating and dangerous disease it is and not as something you can "probably beat on your own." If that was possible, there would be no CSAT therapists, no SA program, no SA website, no NOFAP forum, no Omar Minwalla, no Patrick Carnes, no Doug Weiss, no book about porn/sex/lust addiction, no websites about porn/sex/lust addiction, and no videos or articles anywhere written on porn/sex/lust addiction.

I hope you decide fight this thing and that you win. But that will ONLY be possible when you decide to fight it, and fight it with literally EVERYTHING you've got. Unless and until that happens, we should all just expect relapses sooner or later. Its only a matter of time.

God bless.
