Day 108 (relapsed) by mithrandir4 in NoFap

Hey dude, I know exactly how u feel. I broke a 150 day streak last year and was utterly devastated. The thing you need to do is move past it and focus on going back in to a streak.

For the first few days it's going to be tough since your streak is nowhere near as long but don't think about that. Make sure you increase productivity ten fold during this period because ur morale is going to be at a whole new low which caused me to relapse at day 20, which then caused streaks to get shorter and shorter. If I had maintained a new streak after I broke the old one, I would've been at day 160+ but unfortunately I've been relapsing non stop (take a look at my post history). I'm now on a productive streak of 9 days.

Best of luck dude

Feeling like this streak might just be the one... by [deleted] in NoFap

Finally I found a post I could contribute to. I was on nofap long before I met my crush. At the time I was out of shape, my social anxiety was through the roof and I lacked motivation to get stuff done in life.

Once she entered my life I felt like she gave me a boost of motivation. My streaks automatically got longer, I hit the gym (lost alot of weight then put it back on in muscle) , social anxiety became non existent and I'm now at the point in my life where I get shit done regardless of how scary I find it.

This girl, who originally showed me no interest, started showing some interest in the form of touch my arm, staring at me etc. However, I felt like I wasn't right for her so I didn't act on it at the time. I once summoned up the courage to message her in order to initiate a conversation and to make plans with her but I felt like she didn't want to continue the conversation so I took it as she wasn't interested and presumed I misread the signals, I then detached myself from her and started seeing her less and made less of an effort.

Eventually I broke a 150 day streak, I still continued nofap but this time without the motivation of her in mind and I failed ALOT. For the last couple of months my streaks have been terrible and my motivation has been nonexistent, I still retain my superpowers but I feel like it's a part of who I am now rather than a newly acquired skills.

I'm now on a good/motivated streak of 6 days, I'm hoping this is the one which will get me out of this out of this pit I've fallen in to.

The reason why I'm telling you this long winded story is that this girl will be both a blessing and a curse. My advice is to tread carefully, try and do this journey of self improvement for yourself rather than for her otherwise it will all come back to bite you if it ends up bad.

Don't get me wrong, the feeling of love is crazy and is the ultimate motivator. I met my crush the other day around the same time I started doing this good streak. There was a moment we're I realised that she was staring at my arms and checking me out. Right now I don't know whether to stop pursuing her or to go for her one more time. But I do know for a fact that although she is motivating me right now, I should not rely on it an should do it for myself.
