I was exactly like you Leo. I always asked how do others do it? And I couldn't even make it past +7 days ( So a plus for you). I've had like hundreds (if not thousands) of relapses after which I always promised myself not to do it again but I did. I always asked myself "Will I ever succeed?" and that was like something unattainable for me.
I don't exactly remember what happened the last time that I made my decision but I know that day was the day I joined Nofap and I wanted this time to be different because I couldn't think of any other solution to free myself but Nofap and its awesome community.
All I wanna say is that I didn't pop a magical pill and it all changed. I was exactly like you or even worse but I always knew that my day will come too so try to believe that like me but don't let this thought stall and give it your all the next time you wanna start a streak.
I saw people that were going out but I was sticking home and whacking off. I was seeing bad side effects. I was losing many good opportunities. And a lot of other stuff that finally made me quit it. I also had strong motivations which anytime I wanted to fap, I recalled them. There are others that relapse after xx or xxx days so it's not like I'm totally out of the red zone but it's a hell of a lot easier now.
And one last thing that helped me a lot and kept me going was following someone that was like kind of close to me but ahead of me (idk like 40 days or sth) and anytime I sat behind the pc to fap I would first come and check his profile and see that he was going strong so that made me tell myself that I can keep up with him too.
And the cool thing is that guy reached like 140 days or sth and relapsed but I'm still going because I'm not anymore dependent on him or anyone else.
Sorry for talking too much :D. but don't worry cz you'll win too someday, I'm sure.
