Hello all, this is my first post on this forum. I've watched porn and masturbated to it regularly for 6 years. I want to change and I'm trying nofap. As of today I'm on a 22 day streak but on day 19, something happened I was alone in a library, and I couldn't get porn off my mind, I searched it up and looked at the thumbnails. I was shaking while doing this. I kept telling myself don't do it, it's not worth it. But my body just kept typing up the site. I clicked on a video, but I immediately closed it, and closed my browser. I then put restrictions on my phone. I was pretty scared how I couldn't control myself to not search it, I got excited just at looking at thumbnails. I I had enough control to not watch however and I haven't looked at anything related to porn since. My question is does it count as a relapse?. Should I restart my counter from that day?
Hey man, I've been in the same boat. I think it's great that you were able to learn something from this and put restrictions on your phone. I also struggle with masturbation- sometimes I feel like I go too far, and I think I should reset my day counter. But, I think you shouldn't. My rule is that if I ejaculate, then I should reset my counter, that is if I stop whatever I'm doing, and am genuinely trying to stop. Maybe you could follow this rule too? Hope you get through this, man. HondaKev
