    -MAKE YOUR OWN REALISTIC GOAL ON EVERY SITUATION
    Dont focus on big number streak (say 90) have this as a future goal where you will have trained your brain to last so without receiving the high. Instead set a goal for now (say 3 days) and everytime you relapse add 2-4 days in it.
    -LEARN TO FORGIVE YOURSELF AFTER EACH RELAPSE
    Relapses will exist. I think is pointless to speak of the possibilities of relapsing if you are new fighting an addiction (see people who try to end smoking habits). Understand that relapses are a part of the process as there will be no success term without the term of failure. Dust off yourself after each relapse say that it is okay (actually it is), make a plan, eat a good meal to replenish some energy, and move on to make the other streak 2-4 longer (You can do it more if you dont have urges of course, this numbers are just for the program).
    -Dont binge and dont edge
    If you relapse its okay.Whats not okay is binging and edging, not because you lack of self-discipling and act like a greedy moron but it can actually harm you in some ways (neurologically speaking).Relapse one or two times its fine (just make quick sessions and not 3-4 hours sessions edging to many things.
    SPEND LESS TIME ON TECHNOLOGY
    Our goal is break free from an addiction that technology (high speed internet) provided us. I dont mean to package your things and move to a cave but spending less time on technology make this process 100times easier. I spend no time on social media, and try to minimize it if there is no serious reason (like reading for college or sth). I put a blocker and some block for google explicit content ( i can give more info about this if you want)
    YOU WILL NEED TIME TO LEAVE THIS HABIT
    West culture is obsessed with the fast gains and method that bring results fast pointing that little or no effort is required. Only kids will believe in this. I am on nofap process for 3 years being serious to cure my addiction and my sexual dysfanctions that p-habit gave me. Dont rush to get discourage. You wont need 3 years to have sex if you have pied but you will need months or years to leave that habit for good.I saw some major improvements on erections and other things that p gave me, like brain fog low energy no or low libido early on my reboot (3-6 months will do this, hardmode is better if you can do it but its much harder, i did easy mode in a relationship no pm just o with gf)
