    Does anyone else have this issue? My approach to nofap has been a lot like a new years resolution. I get excited about it, do my research, hit it hard, and then fizzle out. I stop caring about quitting pmo and go back to being exhausted, cranky and objectifying women.

    Who else struggles with this? Have you found a solution? I figure I could start by doing just the smallest measure of nofap culture but do it daily to keep consistent and to build a habit. Perhaps read about issues of pmo once a day and talk to an accountability partner once a day.

    Thoughts?

    Yeah this happens to me when I hit a plateau with nofap and once a relapse sets in you stop caring about anything and go back to old ways of fapping like normal. The best thing is to visit this site everyday. Post here everyday and relpying to other posts. This should help stay motivated and focused.

    Hello Awakening. Thank you for your reply. I notice that if I decided, during the day, that if I want to PMO, it's basically hopeless to resist when I get home at the end of the day. Being tired is another trap. Instead of sleeping I stay up to PMO.

    I'll make sure to start doing at least one thing with NoFap per day. I like the idea of building a small but steady habit.

  4. It's the difference between being motivated vs being disciplined. Motivation will always fluctuate; it's only the disciplined who make real progress because they are the ones who continue on even when they don't feel like continuing.

    Also I like to workout hard after I get back from work. I feel tired somedays but I always make sure I do workout. It's normal to think you will give up when you get home at work but this kind of thinking comes and goes.

    Definetely! One bad day is all it takes to ruin your progress. When your progress is ruined, it's really difficult to get back on the horse and start over again - atleast for me. I lose all motiviation to keep going and give in to the addiction.

    Why do you think exercising helps? I have saved myself a few times by going to the coffee shop right after I get home and drop my stuff off.

    Vigorous exercise works better than any antidepressant or medicines. It boost mood, release the "happy" chemicals and also increase testosterone. Exercise helps with withdrawals too and makes nofap much easier than without it.

    Well said! Discipline is doing what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it regardless of how you feel
