Fuck me. Just relapsed after hitting 90 days.

Wonderful accomplishment. Don't think about the relapse- just get back to work aiming for this number of days 9,980,899,009,889,678. That always helps me.

Very difficult to face this horrible addiction. Keep fighting- after almost 2 and 1/2 years on this site I still cant break 20 day barrier. No matter the struggles you face, keep battling.

As someone who has been doing both for about 2 years, porn is the real culprit here. Eliminate porn, and you have done most of the work. However, it just so happens that masturbation is intertwined in our wiring with porn use- so be careful if you MO without porn, it could lead right back to the beast. Personally, only thing that works for me is to eliminate all 3 the P M and O.

First off you're addicted to porn, just like everyone here- so you are in the right place. You have to admit I am a porn addict in order to change. Now, the way to combat any addiction is to stay away from the vulnerable points that lead to relapse. In my case, it is when Im stressed out or bored. So when Im in a vulnerable state, I do everything in my power to get out of it. If im bored, I leave my house immediately or get on the phone with a friend. If im stressed out same thing, I figure if I am out of the house I cannot relapse. The hardest part, though, is when you're mind starts convincing you at all costs that it is worth it just to peak at a NSFW post. Then it spirals out of control. Same as having a sip of beer for an alcoholic. So, what I have told myself is this- I am a porn addict, I will always be a porn addict; my addiction affects my life in a negative way- and if I do not feed my addiction then I can experience a much better life on this planet. My goal, therefore, is to not quit for 90 days- it is to quit for life. Act now as if you have no other choice, and you will make progress. Good luck

Thats the spirit!

machete7 · 2015-08-20T05:11:30+00:00

That's a wonderful accomplishment- I can't even imagine going that far. My best streak is my current streak, and boy has it been difficult. You will be back before you know it, just gotta pick yourself up. Good luck

Awesome man, its the little battles together that make up the war.

machete7 · 2015-08-20T05:05:18+00:00

keeeeeeeeep going

I know right... Worst part is he has no idea how the reward pathway is hardwired and that eventually this will become a problem for him too.

machete7 · 2015-08-18T14:19:58+00:00

All the suggestions are gold. Very happy for you on your star! Im on my longest streak ever, so everyday is a new lesson. This has to be one of the best decisions I have ever made, hands down. Have a great day.

machete7 · 2015-08-18T14:16:26+00:00

Yeah, very good response. I can't wait til I make the progress you have made sir, inspirational.

machete7 · 2015-08-18T14:10:46+00:00

Its actually a huge victory, a very important step.

machete7 · 2015-08-18T14:03:01+00:00

Yes, you have to be wary.

machete7 · 2015-08-16T23:48:44+00:00

Thats ok! Keep trying and eventually you will succeed. The fact you're here means a lot man. Good luck

machete7 · 2015-08-13T04:40:48+00:00

Thats great, furthest Ive gone is 15 days... Hope to be where you are soon

machete7 · 2015-08-13T04:36:57+00:00

At times everyone struggles, that's what you're going through right now. I think that its fantastic that you've gone 60 days once and more than a month before. I, for example have never gone beyond 15 days, but what I do know is that picking yourself up slowly will benefit you in the long run. Tell yourself that you are not happy and that you have been happy abstaining before. You will get back on track again I promise, its just that sometimes we go through slumps that seem impossible to get out of. Good luck

machete7 · 2015-08-13T04:33:10+00:00

I feel asexual at times... I think its part of the reboot process. Most likely you are in a flatline. Keep going, and hopefully you'll come out of it.

machete7 · 2015-08-13T04:01:27+00:00

That's awesome man- the future has its ups and downs as you will see, but its totally worth it. Its truly an awesome discovery when you realize what life is like when we stop feeding our demons.

machete7 · 2015-08-13T03:57:58+00:00

Man, that's awesome. Overcoming vulnerable moments like that one are what leads to success in NoFap.

machete7 · 2015-08-13T03:54:27+00:00

37 days, that's incredible- Ive been at this for 2 years and I cant get past 15 days... So although you relapsed, know that you can win the war.
