    Day 3/365 check in. Finding it tough tbh. Forcing myself to do things to stay away but what I really want to do is fap to get this tension away. It will be interesting to see how long the tension takes to dissipate by itself.

    Thank you @StraightEdge3616 for your support. It means a lot. I feel generally lethargic at the moment. No real urges in the sense of getting hard etc but I just feel like going and fapping to get this feeling away from the pit of my stomach - BUT I am not going to. Lets just see how long this takes to reslove itself.

  7. Good on u mate. I know it’s hard.
     
  8. You bet man, I'm here for ya. There were lots of times I wish I had someone to reach out to but didn't have anyone so I just want to be sure to do it for others, hoping it spreads from there. :)
     
  9. Hi there. I relapsed last night @control your life . I'm sorry :(

    I thought about not telling and keeping this one relapse for myself. I reasoned, that it's not good for the group, for your motivation, when I report my relapse after only three days.
    But of course that's not a good argument. It would be foul play. And I would also hurt my own recovery process with this lie.

    I joined this Challenge out of euphoria. But my self care is poor at the moment. I'm having a difficult time here. I'm confronting it all, I'm ready for every change that is necessary for my future. But it's hard work. And I just wasn't ready yet for the fresh start on the 1st of January.

    Ironically just when I investigated my triggers and the process of relapsing / pmo'ing very deeply I suddenly switched to cravings and played with fire (subs). I should have realised my situation (late at night on computer, tired, in some kind of existential stress) and react properly. But I didn't.
    After the relapse I realised my addicted mind has become very cynical. Just when I was super-aware about the problem, motivated to change and engaged in the difficult work to make it happen, it comes along and chucks it all away just for a little bit of pleasure. I can feel the pain only now when I write about it. The addiction numbs it out. Ok, I better stop here.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to practice honesty and to bare my soul to you.
    I have something for you guys:

    I have heard it a lot of times. Unfortunately one forgets quickly. If I use such advice on a daily basis relapses will stop, I think.

    @lonelygalaxy, same situation here, i actually was on a 92 day streak but because all that stress i had urges for 10 days. tried to resist until i finish my exams but couldn't. The same thing happened to me last year. Like you said better fail exams than give up to porn. Good luck on your exams and your NoFap journey :)
    Check in day 4 here

    Day 3, checking in. Had a long day at work today, I think I'm going to be really busy in upcoming months. I'm going to have to be mindful of how tired I am and do my best to stay away from triggers late in the evenings when I get home. Hope everyone is doing well!
