    Just asking because I heard that counting your days can actually lead to a relapse

    Day counts is optional i would set it up but don'nt obsess over it just concentrate on your nofap plan. Hopefully before you know it you have racked up a few days. Also if you do lapse you can see how long you lasted maybe that can help you examine why you relapsed.
     
  4. It depends, I almost think just journaling your relapses is much less stressful. It’s still a way to count your days by just dating your failures.

    I tend to over obsess about my streaks which I’m starting to think has been feeding into my relapses so you are on to something. but to Eaches own, Keep trying new methods till you find what works for you.
     
  5. It works well for some people, not for others. On my long streak I benefited from the counter because it appealed to my competitive side. I just couldn’t stand the thought of having to set it back to zero. So it helped me and was a marker for the work I had put in.
