I have been on NoFap for about 3-4 months but now I want to start over. I keep a streak for a few days then suddenly I relapse. The max streak I ever had was 6 days. What can I do to not give into urges so easily?
The following list are tools and resources to help fight this addiction: - Go to weekly SA meetings and find a sponsor there. To find one near you, go to https://www.sa.org/meetings/ - Do an internet search for CSAT office in your area (Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist) - Find an accountability partner if you don't already have one. Many are available here on NoFap. - Look for help online; There are sexual addiction recovery books, workbooks, self-help books, Youtube videos and MANY other things to help. - Start a journal about your recovery. On NoFap, somewhere else online, in a word document offline, or even with pen and paper. - Obtain a copy of the book used by the members of SA meetings, which is commonly referred to as “the white book” which can be purchased here: https://www.sa.org/store/product_info.php?products_id=32 - Put safeguards in place to help you stay sober. Think of your weaknesses and eliminate them. - Do you take your phone (or any other device) into the bathroom with you and relapse because of it? Then make a rule to never take any electronic device into the bathroom with you, ever. NO EXCEPTIONS. - Do you read erotic literature and relapse because of it? Make a rule to never read anything that could ever be found in that section of any bookstore ever. - If you struggle with looking at internet porn or any other addictive material on the internet, get an internet filter to block that category type of website as well as any specific site you know you’re vulnerable to and give someone else the password to it. (Spouse, partner, AP, sponsor, etc.) Obviously, you should not have the password.
