Hi All, I was on strict NoFap for past 45 days , but yesterday i just couldn't control and i fapped . Does this means that all the positive effects that i have had saved for past 45 days are lost . Please let me know ?
No, definitely all is not lost. You cannot lose a month and a half of progress by fapping once. Your progress may have slowed a little, and may take a day or two to get going again, but unless you go into a tailspin and binge for a couple days, you will make it just fine. Try not to focus on the fact that your streak ended, instead focus on the awesome achievement of making it 45 days clean! You did it once, and you can certainly do it again. Good luck!
Newbie Hey y'all day six of this whole NoFap thing, gotta say that I am already seeing life in a whole new light. I just went to a party and had some chick flash me for no reason at all. The whole time my mind remained clear though, I saw her in a different way... And I feel as though that is how others see me too now! Idk man I've been fappin almost every day since ten and I feel as though I am being born again!
To the OP, to help visualise how your good work hasn't been wiped out by one relapse, consider how different your situation is in comparison to if you had spent the 45 days previous to your relapse fapping as per 'normal'. It takes more than one relapse to wipe out the benefits of a monster streak like 45 days .
I posted this on your thread on the other forum aswell, but I will copy and paste my reply to you. I don't think it has been lost. My longest NoFap streak has been 3 weeks (that was somewhere last year). After that my balls just became sore, so I made a quick fap without porn. At first I felt a bit bad, but that quickly went away. My goal at that time was to watch no porn. Because I didn't watch porn, my positive effects came back very quick. So my question is: Did you use porn while fapping? Cause if you haven't, it is very likely that you are fine. If you did use porn, then be careful not to get into a relapse by binging on a lot of pornography (because your brain is probably telling you "meh, you failed anyway, might as well get some more, more and more") Just watching porn once can be bad, but it isn't NEARLY as bad as getting back into the whole binging thing by watching it more than once.
