    I noticed that when I relapse, I do it more than one time on that day. Why? Because for the counter it does not matter, right? I am at day 0 anyways! I guess I am not the only one who does this.
    Of course this is bullshit!
    From the standpoint of NoFap, it worse for you, the more you watch porn/masturbate/orgasm on a day.

    That's why I started to to count every relapse on a day as minus points. Three relapses would get me to day -2 for example. This way I try to not fall into the trap of binging etc.

    I know that this is not going to change everything all of a sudden, but I want to remind myself and everyone else:

    Don't let one relapse be an excuse for another one!

    Don't worry too much about relapses. It's common to fail a lot before success. When you relapse, just start counting again. I tell you this because the days when you indulge can lead you to a much bigger relapse. I know it is very frustrating when you lose what you earned with effort. But actually you don't lose all your progress, you gain discipline, self-control and you learn how to avoid relapsing.

    It is just my opinion...
