    I’m a 19 year old man trying to escape out of the porn addiction. I watched it for the first time at 12 years old when a friend of mine in school showed it to me. And since that time I’ve consumed this type of content for almost 7 straight years.

    However during this time it was not a big of a deal since I practically watch porn just once a week. During those times I used to tell myself “I can only watch porn on Friday, so I have a chance to recover myself from the “seccondary effects” of fapping during the weekend. However Everything went really wrong after Covid started, that time I started to fap around 5-6 times per week for almost 6 months, but then I discovered NoFap and I did my first bug streak of 28 days staright with NoFap nor porn.
    However I relapsed, and I did it preely hard starting to fap again around 3-4 times per week, and for another whole year I just got to get a maximum streak of 14 days.

    Currently I’m studying abroad and when I came to this new country I got my biggest streak of almost 60 days without porn nor fap. However, the day I relapsed it was the day I was detected to get Covid and also the same day the girl I liked that time rejected me. (I guess these set of negative feelings were the cause of my relapse)

    That was on April of 2022 and since that time I’ve never been able to make not even a 3 weeks streak again.

    I don’t know what else to do in order to get out of here, I’ve tried porn site blockers, deleting social media and so on but nothing results effective enough, I feel like I lost that inner desire inside of me to achieve this NoFap lifestyle, but I don’t know what else to do in order yo get it back to me.

    One of my goals is to live my college life in a plenty way, talking to lot of people, going to parties, talking to girls, participating in school events, etc. But I struggle a lot to this cause I have kinda social anxiety and lack of cofidence in almost every situation that involves talking to other people, and its because of watching porn and Fapping.
    But even tho I know this really well I cannot make myself stop from this damn addiction.

    Pls help


    (Fact that could be helpful: When I started in NoFap I did it because I wanted to pull any girl that I would find attractive, however currently I have a gf, we have been together for 1 year, so I think I kinda feel like NoFap benefits are not thaaaaat necessary in my life since I have no necessity of flirting anymore)

    Begin the work of transmutation. Today. How? Try this:
    1) Breathing Exercises (Wim Hof Method)
    2. Every time a lustful impulse arises switch your attention to your high ideal.
    3) Try to help someone who is suffering. Be a pleasant person.

    Do these exercises every day.

    What I can think of is to every time you get an urge, call a friend you trust and tell them. If its at night, sleep on your couch and record yourself until the urge passes. If you are religious, pray to god or whatever deity you believe in.

    You can do this,

    Don't let us down,

    We are counting on you.
