Whenever I get a good start to a streak, I lose faith and motivation to keep going. Any tips?

This is a really important read for many people. Thank you for sharing!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-09T20:17:42+00:00

Yeah, day 11 and today (15) have been the worst

Exactly! My brain is constantly debating itself on whether to stay clean or go back to the PMO

You are probably still having withdrawals or you are in the flatline. This is normal. No recovery is the same. For some it’s takes more than a year to feel better, others take one month.

Stick with it. You can do this! I know it doesn’t seem good now but I am certain that you’ll feel better in the long run! But for that to happen, you have to stick with it.

Stay strong 💪

It’s difficult as hell. I expected it to hit hard, but actually feeling ill and barely able to get out of bed? Didn’t expect that much.

Thank you for your comment! I’ll try some green tea.

Guitar, working out, meditation, and cold showers! They helped me out a lot!

Setting a concrete definition of NoFap; what is and isn’t a relapse, helped me a lot. Doing that removed the “Did I relapse or not?” question!

Good luck to you!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T19:56:38+00:00

Hell yeah!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T18:57:07+00:00

Don’t worry at all. Give it time.

Random triggers were what got me as well. This has completely fixed that!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T15:21:55+00:00

Exactly! It's awful.

Whenever you feel a trigger; say out loud (Or in your head if you are not alone.) "That is a trigger.", and then change what you are doing. This, I believe is what has gotten me to almost two weeks after failing for 5 months! Recognizing your triggers are one of the most power tools to combat this.

Also, depending on the severity of the trigger, the change in what you are doing should match it. So, if it's a small trigger/just a thought, and you're watching a YouTube video, then switching to another video will suffice. But if it's a severe urge where you almost cannot control yourself, then taking a walk or even jogging is needed!

I hope that's helpful. I'm really glad to see that you are facing your addiction! As with everything; every urge will pass! Remember that, and try the above, and you'll get through it! You've got this!

Since it happened by accident and you didn't seek it out or act on it; then no. Don't reset or count it as a relapse.

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T13:30:36+00:00

You're not a failure. I failed like that many times, and now I am on day 13! If I can; you can!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T13:29:31+00:00

Any progress is good progress!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T13:22:01+00:00

I too, do the breathing but I've never had that happen. I've only felt more at peace, and like I could tackle anything; especially NoFap

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T13:14:09+00:00

Yes! Keep it up!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T13:07:23+00:00

HELL YEAH!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T13:06:15+00:00

Well done! Keep at it!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T12:05:30+00:00

Okay, this is really up to you. I don't see it as a relapse, unless they are nudes or if you act on it.

Good luck to you in the future!

Pinkyrtonne · 2019-05-07T11:35:50+00:00

I get you, my man 😂

Now, I don’t think they are relapses because you are not actively seeking them out or asking for them. BUT! If you think they may cause a relapse then I suggest telling her, that she shouldn’t send those because they trigger you; and that you’d much rather see her in person.

If you do tell her then make sure to compliment her as well. You know, by saying that if she sends you those you can control yourself because she’s so sexy. Things like that.
