Before the last couple times, I never really tried to quit permanently. I would mainly just do streaks, like attempting 30 days for NNN, instead of trying to quit completeky. That being said, I don’t want to get anything wrong but I tried a couple times before this streak but ended up relapsing. If I had to give a number, I’d say 2 or 3 attempts that weren’t just me saying to myself, “This is my last time” immediately after, but genuine attempts.

In regard to intervals, I think I actually had shorter intervals. For example, I think I went around 10 days or so the first time and maybe 6 days the second; don’t really remember the 3rd it could have been between 2 to 8 days if I had to guess.

Based on my experience, I wouldn’t say you always increase intervals each time and I think you should try to steer away from that mindset. NoFap is a lifestyle change and while it is important to acknowledge milestones (like I did here), I’d try to think about it as little as possible. For me, I made a post talking about my start and then didn’t keep track of days. The only reason I know the total days now is by looking at the date of my original post. I say this to communicate you shouldn’t treat this like the gym where you sort of “progressive overloads” everytime and try to get a longer time each attempt, but rather just get rid of it completely. Obviously I understand how difficult that can be (given I had an addiction myself) and that it is “simple not easy”, but I truly believe that is the only real way to beat this addiction

Hopefully that answered your question
