    So i fapped the last time yesterday, and today in the morning i edged. Ive had These Scenes ive edged to in my head the whole time. Im worried if i go on like this eventually its just gonna catch up with me and fuck my streak up again like last time. The last time i went a week without fapping but on day 2 i edged and it followed me through my whole streak. Im wondering if i should just go like this or if i should just do it for the last time and then start clean without edging.

    Since there's very little time between your relapse and the edging, I would advise you to start of again.

    Would be a different story if you would relapse on day 90 of your streak and than edged on day 140 for example.

    If an alcoholic took a sip would you tell him he may as well down the entire bottle now?

    I mean if he had the bottle with him the whole time he would down it eventually so its better to do it now so that he doesnt have it standing by him later.

    You relapsed. Edging is just going to lead to ejaculation and you know it yourself. You gotta remove all that sexual stimuli my friend
     
  6. Hey, it's no big deal. Get back to zero and start again. I've been in cases in which I was unsure what to do, but I found just resetting was refreshing and made me more determined.
     
  7. My advice from experience is this. We sometimes do self sabotage and sometimes if we mess up a bit we feel...well fk it now we might aswell ruin it on purpose...sounds so stupid right? But I get it, we want that perfection...My advice is if you do this once or a few times...sure. But if you honestly have done this many times, and you keep edging and then oh no, now i gotta reset - you´re just doing the same thing over and over and you never get to build momentum and keep going, and i nthat case you need to keep going otherwise you´re gonna edge again, and then what will you do on day 100? Start over? Keep going.

    I´ve noticed this in work too. I´ll create something, I´ll be like...this is shit...awful...wtf is this? I´ll want to trash it...but a week or two weeks later, hmm...it´s actually okay...a few months later i´ll look at be like "wow, how did i ever manage to create something so amazing?" This is because we now got all the emotions out...Fkn emotions so annoying. Sometimes it can help if you try and act as if you´re giving another person advice whos in the same situation as you, just pretend your story is another guy, or alternatively have friends who think like you. I often like to use my friends and all they do is say what i already thought and that confirms me I´m on the right track - it helps me so much.

    So theres many options - just wanted to add a bit extra info for you. I´d reset too, but not if i keep doing it...thats how i noticed i never got far with anything as i never got out of the starting line.

    I've read some articles about edging and nofap and relating those to my own failures, they do make some sense.
    Edging does no good if you really want to quit pmo for good. We all have limited willpower reserves, and edging just drains them fast so eventually we give up. We make our mind that we'll not ejaculate but what we don't realise is this thing is slowly draining my willpower and eventually when a time comes when we really need to hold ourself and not give up, we lack the power, our mind blacks out and doesn't let any rational thoughts come in and whoosh, we relapse and the regrets and all follow. Then we ask ourself, "What was I even thinking while doing it?" We don't have any answer. The answer is, the previous edging sessions slowly drained all willpower we needed to control ourselves in difficult times.
