    Hello first of all you are not alone everybody struggle with this drama and I know how hard it hurts when we try our best and still fail so first of all as you told aforementioned that you deleted Tik Tok app and according to me you should also try to delete all social media apps like even Instagram or any app which give large amount of dopamine and try to avoid use of phone as much you can I know it is very hard to separate from A device which always with you but you need to be strong and try to sit on nature as much you can because in nature our brain will become calm and don't afraid of failures. Success is the next chapter of failure so don't worry I also failed you know like I was on my 62 days streak but sadly it was broke because I reactivated my all social media account and I saw offensive content there that the followers posted so it make me distracted from my streaks and resulted as masturbation in a huge ratio so don't worry we will grow together I know it very hard to compress our feeling in this young age but what we can do more we can't just waste our valuable liquid from our body we need to manipulate the energy in a different useful activities so take care take proper sleep eat healthy foods and be nice with your love ones.

    Remove all social media during your reboot because it removes visual triggers,for me youtube is fine as there are educational videos you can watch during your reboot,dont beat yourself up you are not alone in this.i also recommend you keep a journal

    Probably.
    Probably true.
    No, I don’t think that’s it. I mean, could be a component, I’ll allow for the possibility, but maybe you need to work more efficiently, instead of harder.

    Nature abhors a vacuum. You can’t take out P without replacing it with something else, and like it or not, P does provide something you need. It also provides a lot of other things you don’t need, the effects with which you’d rather not deal, but cutting it out leaves you missing something you need to thrive, and that’s why you have urges & eventually reset every single time.

    P is a lot of things. A time sink is a simple one. You have to replace the lost time. A dopamine source is another. You have to at least attempt to replace the lost dopamine. But it also provides something psychological. It could be a temporary sense of comfort, source of confidence, control, or maybe it’s the humiliation fetish you’re into and it’s about something else that I frankly don’t understand, but it is comprehensible. You have to figure out, when you crave P, are you getting from it that you actually need? You can find a non-P way to meet it, or at minimum, understand the issue and develop a better mindset around it. As long as you work on blindly abstaining, though, you’re going to get very good at not doing P and always wanting it anyway, and that’s an exhausting way to live.

    Brah I won't lie to you. It take a lot of hard work and dedication to fight it. But this pays of. Even when you go throught darkest and hardest days at the end there is light - your better future. Beginings are always hard, after relapse even harder, but you need to keep fighting. It helps also with everyday life. When you fight with yourself, fighting with surrounding world becomes much easier. I recommend social-media detoks, try keeping your mind busy with stuff, workin out, reading books, beeing outside etc. In moments of struggle I sometimes call my relatives just to talk with them, just to hear another human beeing. I keep my fingers croosed for you
