The Nightmare Of Realapsing

That stinks man, but you made it 8 months and thats no easy task. You should be proud. I say you should pick up where you left off and get back into reboot. The sooner yiu get back on track the less damage youll do and the easier itll be to abstain. YOU CAN DO IT!

 

8 months without PMO is awesome and a great accomplishment!! You did it before, you can do it again!

 

That does suck, but the only thing that would suck more is if you just gave up. If you get right back up on the horse, than in four months you would only have one slip up in the past year. It's okay to feel pain, but you should not feel regret, shame, and even anger (with yourself). 8 months is amazing. Most people struggle with 8 days, so be proud of yourself. You obviously have it in you, now try to go 9 months this time! Good luck.

 

In 2017 I relapsed on day 240. It was hardcore no pmo and it was genuinely the first orgasm I had aside from a few wet dreams. I was 17 and still figuring everything out. Nofap made me realize what love is and taught me a perspective and mindset that is more than just a number of days. It was a crazy time in my life. I found happiness and resolve within myself and felt in control. It wasn't easy but I took pleasure in the pain at times. I mastered many facets of life and became a new person. I experienced the ecstasy of love and the devastating pain rejection brings. But I kept going until the stress got to me and in a moment of minutes the entire streak ended. I fell back to the apathy and the procrastination. Got back to the weed and alcohol and nicotine and PMo and all the old vices that held me back. I'm trying my best to get back at it though. This story isn't over yet and I'm not going to quit. Ever. Even when the happy ending I've been waiting for so long comes around I'm going to keep trying to be the best I can be and not take things for granted. This is the only way I can live and be happy or at least content. I have faith I'll find love again but it's going to take patience and discipline. I'm still figuring things out and finding someone continues to elude me. I think I know and then I don't. I try my hardest but still fail. All I know is that I have to go back on nofap and finish what I started. It's a long slow road but it leads where I'm trying to go.

 

Hey man. I almost blew up today but somehow managed to stop right before the disaster. I took a nap and now I have woken up, I feel better. I feel like crying because it was so close. It's amazing how blinded we become when the powerful urges hit us. Did you relapse because things in your life weren't going your way? I heard if you are having a real bad day, you simply relapse because of the pain caused by external circumstances.

8 months of reboot can never be lost by just 1 relapse. If you can avoid binging, chances are in a month you would feel the same as you did when you had 8 months under your belt. These bad feelings are only temporary. Don't let this initial setback make you dig holes further down.

 

Hey bro. Don't lose hope or get sad. See every relapse as an opportunity to grow. We are all here to help one another. I wish you the best!

 

Don't be too hard on yourself. This will only add up frustration and this is exactly how the addiction survives.

 

What you accomplished is great! Okay you relapsed, but if you start again a porn free life, all is not lost... You did it once, you can do it again... I know how you feel, I keep relapsing, but you resisted 8 months, it is a great achievement!

I think that accepting those bad feelings at the same time of starting over is the best way to deal with this... It's done it's done, but take it as a lesson to always be on your guards.... Next time I'm sure you'll resist the urge.. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED!
