    I have been doing nofap for a few months now, when I first started I easily got 2 streaks that were 12 days and then 17 days, but after that, I just kept relapsing more and more often. nowadays I relapse almost every night and I feel like im losing motivation to do nofap and im honestly starting to feel completely hopeless. I know a lot of people were and currently are in this exact same position as me.

    I was in the exact predicament as you brother. I was constantly relapsing and due to it kept getting depressed and going on binges watching porn to try and make myself feel better . I felt hopeless and discouraged to, but I decided that I am not going to let Porn ruin my life any longer and I am strong enough to do nofap and so are you. I am currently on day 9 without relapsing and I believe that I can go for longer because of a few things I decided to do. First what you need to do is write down reasons why you are quitting Porn, so you are always reminded of why you are doing this. Then try blocking Porn from your phone or laptop by using apps with passwords and put a password that you will not remember, so that even if you want to relapse you will be unable to watch. Also try and keep a note of all the negative impacts of watching pornography such as erectile dysfunction, lack of motivation, depression, social anxiety and I can go on and on so that you will start to ingrain in your mind that watching porn is not worth it anymore.
    I finally want to tell you this
    “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”

    You have gotten some excellent replies. I only want to add two things: First, don't give up. Many people on this journey have multiple relapses before they figure it out and make it work. Second, and this is important, do NOT beat yourself up for relapsing. That is not helpful. Instead, when you relapse, take a little time and figure out what triggered the relapse and do what you can to remove that trigger. Relapses aren't a failure. They are a lesson on what not to do. Whenever you need a motivational shot in the arm, just come back here and post or send me a private message. We all need support to get through this. I've gotten quite a bit from nofap and I try to give back as much and as often as I can. We'll get through this together!
     
  7. Hello @Mr.Bluesthenamedontwearitout

    Since I been relapsing and try to quit watching porn and masturbating. I downloaded a app called Blocksite which is a app that blocks websites like porn websites. Download a porn blocker app on your computer or your phone so that you don’t relapsed to watching porn. If you want to avoid relapsing at night don’t leave your phone at your bed because it can cause you to relapse and that is why I struggle to quit porn because I keep relapsing at night when I leave my phone in my bed. Since it’s 2021 I will try to quit porn addiction and masturbating addiction this year so that I can stay away from it this year. If you want to avoid relapsing at night, put your phone somewhere away from your bed in your room so that you don’t relapse and not watch porn.

    Use this Community.

    1. When you’re going online to seek porn, come here instead and spend a lot of time reading posts, also adding your own comments if you want.

    2. Start your own thread in the Reboot Logs section and spend a lot of time thinking about what to say and writing it down. Respond to comments.

    3. Start a day counter. Some do, some don’t for various reasons. My opinion (and only that), if you’re not counting, you’re not in the game.

    Among many reasons to do so, any time spent here is time not spent on porn.

    Best wishes.

    I haven't seen anyone talk about relapsing that way before, but your perspective makes perfect sense thank you!
