    relapsed yesterday

    about me in short

    22 yo

    started watching ago 10, started pmo age 12

    started nofap about a year ago, best streaks were 47 days and another one of 48 days.

    i avoid many many cheap pleasure like alchohol, smoking, social media.

    i dont drink coffee

    my diet is pretty good but i sometimes allow myself something tasty when with friends at a resturaunt or something.

    im working full time job as a rental car driver, love cars, love driving.

    im quite skinny, i hate working out and just cant seem to find the willpower to do it seriously.

    i dont have many hobbies...

    i like hanging with friends, food, driving, but these arent enough, i feel i cant stop pmo because nothing makes me feel as good as pmo in life, i dont care much for anything.i play video games and thats it

    i just cant seem to find any passion or hobbie to rely on for enjoying life better, because now, im not deep into depression like i used to, but im not quite happy, im quite negative with life, and still have decent anxiety



    never in a streak that i actually felt a change or felt better, only worse, and more stressed and jumpy

    if anyone with higher streak has been in a similar situation i would love having some tips (no god please)

    The only trick that can save you is the greater pleasure trick. It works 100%.

    Whenever you have strong urges, tell your seeking dopamine brain that greater pleasure is better than pleasure. What's better than pleasure? Greater pleasure. A strong urge comes? Think about how big your libido will be in 3 months. Just that, when an urge comes, you only have to think about how big your sexual energy was when you discovered porn. Wouldn't you want to experience such pleasure again? Then wait 3 months and then decide wether to release the sexual energy and enjoy maximum pleasure.
    The thing is that when the 3 months come, you'll most likely have forgotten about porn altogether or even if you relapse, your 3 months progress are not gone so repeat all of that for 3 months again until eventually porn is out of your mind.

    I'm on day 20 so I can only help you get to day 20. Create rules in you life, and cut out video games, do a physical activity, no gym, just something you enjoy, it could be anything, become occupied with your passions and you'll be much less likely to relapse.
