    So I had my first relapse today since I started this... not proud but not beating myself up about it.
    My urges got the better of me but i’ll learn and come back stronger!
    Day 1 at me... *sigh* haha.

    Get straight back on the horse man! Yes, you relapsed, but all your hard work isn't undone providing you don't binge and fap frantically for the next couple of days. The two weeks you've just done will have done some good so go again and keep going!

    I'm on day 12 myself and have been feeling really demotivated, tired, headaches, hazy, not horny at all the past few days. I suspect this is flatline. Did you experience any of this during your two weeks?

    Cheers and good luck

    Most flatlines happen after the 3 week mark

    Thanks mate - I have done. Felt stupid the second it was over.
    Glad to hear the two weeks aren’t wasted!
    I can’t say I’ve experienced any of those symptoms- sounds rough mate. Probably a good sign that your body is changing. Stick at it - take it from someone’s who’s just cleared their internet browsing history- it’s not worth it!

    Good luck bud.

    No problem mate. Do you know what led to your relapse? I know it sounds like common sense but identifying your triggers really will help. Deactivation of social media such as Instagram and FB has been great for me. The endless scrolling through news feeds and seeing sexually proactive pictures of women is lethal. Another for me is alcohol and the hangover horn. As soon as you identify these triggers you can take steps to avoid them.

    If you can get into the new year you will surpass the 14 day mark previously set and will PMO free at the start of a brand new year, what better resolution could you have?!

    And thanks for the support brother!

    I allowed myself to think about certain porn etc to much, then eventually thought “I’ll just have a look and won’t do anything” completely ridiculous of me - you can guess how that ended haha.

    You’re totally right about the hungover aspect - I always find I’m at my weakest after a heavy night on the beers! Instagram is definitely one to watch out for!

    I agree - would be great to be clean for the new year! I’m pretty sure I can do this now. Just got to try and remember the disappointment I felt after fapping + resetting that counter.

    I really hope the flatline doesn’t last to long mate. Exercise may help / some other way to focus your energy and get a rush ?

    Keep fighting the good fight.
