    I've been doing really well. But I feel like an impending doom is approaching. I had one wet dream and not it seems like I can't stop craving another and touching myself. I have no idea what to do. I have a strong enough self discipline that I won't watch porn but hard mode is really kicking my ass. Any advice appreciated

    I cannot really offer you any piece of advice and sorry for that. The only thing I can say though is do NOT lose it. You've reached 50 days and I guess most of nofap users dream about such a period without PM. So brace yourself and show who's the boss here!

    Deep breaths, do push ups, meditate, reach out to a friend. Find something to fill your day, stay away from technology. You can do it, don't throw away 50 days. If you slip now, that's almost 2 months of your life that you're undermining.

    There is one very simple step you need to take to get past this. Just one. Others will of course be helpful, but the one thing you need to do is reinforce everyday why you are not going to relapse. You are a man. You are not an animal, and a relapse is not inevitable. These feelings will pass shortly after you let go of them and push on to better things. This is your inner addict, desperately trying to drag you back to the cold, lonely, familiarity of addiction. Cut the ties, put it behind you, and move on with your life. This is in your head, and you need to get it out. Frequent workouts, showers, time with other people, and absolutely no internet beyond what is absolutely necessary for 2 weeks.

    Your desire for more after the wet dream is just a chaser effect, and it will pass quite quickly if you let it. Don't feed the beast by thinking about it.

    In moments where the pull towards PMO is strong, I remind myself that dopamine is in high gear (from what I understand, it is responsible for the pre-PMO yearning, rather than the good feelings during PMO). So, I remind myself that part of the addiction is, in fact, this phase (the anticipation/obsession/yearning phase), and that I would be slime for giving away my streak to a subconscious brain circuit. Fuck that. Then, I take it a step further. Why is this the moment that I need PMO so badly? Am I compensating for something? Trying to fill some hole? I end up attributing the sudden appetite to something that happened earlier in my day. E.g. That girl was hitting on me but I played it cool because I think of myself as shit, and now I'm obsessing over what might have been. I might be wrong to automatically attribute the sudden appetite to a shortcoming, but it helps motivate me to fight back. It helps snap me out of it. So, I go with it.

    You guys are honestly the best haha. I ended up going to the gym for like 2 hours and then took a nice long walk. Hung out with some friends and happy to say I didn't relapse. I appreciate all the advice and motivation to fight it. My life has been forever changed by nofap and I'm excited for what's to come. My life was always lacking because of my PIED but I'm happy to say I'm still fighting the good fight ! Thanks fellas

  11. So when you think about how challenging HM is going to be in the near future you feel worried and scared because you want to be successful and nurture your reboot?

    Hi. Just saw your post of when you had done more than 50 days and felt tempted and then I saw that you've done 65 days of MO. That's awesome. You're a warrior. I've been free from P for 3-4 months without any problem and the main reason for that is that I have installed the K9 web protection browser on all mobile or computer devices in my home and then I intentionally chose I password which I forgot. I highly recommend doing this. Now I've joined Nofap to get rid of M. Can't wait to get to 65 days like you. Keep it up bro.

    Embrace the urges, however do NOT act negatively upon them. This is you being tested and you must rely on your willpower. The urge will pass. I promise.

    Congratulations on 90 days! You wouldn't be here if you would have given in! Now ask yourself, was it worth abstaining? HELL YES!

    Don't give in to it, try to stay strong, but if you do relapse. It really is not a big problem. You already made it so far, be proud of yourself, and learn from it.
    It happens to everyone, you are not alone. So don't feel sorry of you relapse.
