    So I started the nofap journey last month, and everything was going very well. I was up to 15 days without PMO... My previous journey is here: http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthre...ve-come-to-the-realisation-that-I-need-helpHi

    I messed up yesterday. I guess I got complacent. It was the start of the weekend and I didn't have much to do, and I just somehow fell back into old routines. I'm not calling it a relapse (although arguably I could, because it was a full return to bad habits) because I still want to be PMO free and I'm going to start the process again from the beginning.

    I'm realising throughout this process that I have to be incredibly vigilant all the time - being aware of trigger situations and when the urges begin and what to do about them. I'm going to try doing exercise when I start to feel like I want to PMO.

    I'm trying to stay positive, but it's depressing having to start from the beginning again.

    Thanks for listening

    Hey mate, I'm sorry you're feeling depressed.

    I don't know if it'll make you feel any better, but subsequent attempts are often easier than the first. You aren't really starting from zero because you still have the learnings from your last attempt.

    It can still be challenging, but it is definitely possible for you to recover and get back on your feet before you know it.

    Yesterday was my first day of officially attempting nofap, and I didn't make the day. But that's okay, because I've identified what I want to change. Today marks day 1, again. Never will I say it's the last day 1, but to me there always will be a counter now.

    We can't go back to letting PMO/Porn dictate a part of our life. Keep on fighting brother, head held high!

    I had to reset mine earlier. I spent so much time grumbling to myself about it, but now that I almost got 24 hours back, I feel like I'm merely getting back on the horse rather than going back to square one. Heck I only reset my count just for accountability for the mess-up.
