    it was about 7 months ago, I came across a video of mark queppet. He introduced me to nofap, me who was struggling to quit porn for more than a year was so excited to discover it and I found a direction in life, I made a straight up 43 days streak no PMO. I was so proud of myself, i was keen to becoming the best version of myself but then, boom! a relapse (which was due to a social fear). Since then, its about 7 months and the longest i've made is 7 days and it was just one time. most of the time, i'm not able to do 2 days only. I feel like I lost all the hope, i wasted all the energy and potential. I'm 18 years old, this is the age where people are so excited about their goals and aspirations and here i am, empty of emotions, feeling nothing at all. I want a meaningful life. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me get out of this i'll owe you my lifee!
     
  2. The time brother. Everytime you relapce you waste time and time is something we cant turn back, its the most valuable resource we have. Value time more than anything. You will do it now and for what? For 2-3 seconds of orgasm? Thats what you sacrifice your future for? Think about it. You can also give a word to yourself to stop doing it. I did it many times and relapced but now i keep my word, word and time mean everything to me now. Why? Because as i said i cant turn back time and with the word i realized that everytime i break my word i lose respect for myself. Its very related, self-respect and your moral code, your honor. Why are we socialy-akward, lonely, sad in the first place? Because of our low self-esteem and what causes that? For example bullying. Ever wondered why the victims of bullying often become depressed people? Because of low self-esteem. Sometime in their life period they couldnt stand up for themselves and they lost respect for themselves. I understand that every action that contradicts my morality is self destructive, it destroys my respect for myself, thats why i dont believe in myself, thats why im afraid of people and we just stuck in a self-destructive loop. Give a word to yourself that you will make it for 3 months for example, dont break your word and remember about time. God bless you. Sorry for my bad english.

    Stay strong, don't give up man!!
    A relapse is quite normal when your brain is addicted to porn for so long. Brain needs time to rewire, that's not bullsh*t this is science. That's why the common NOFAP CHALLENGE on hard mode lasts 90 days, and that's also why it is so effective. During this time your brain makes structural, long-lasting changes

    Commit yourself for a long streak and give your 100% on that. Be busy, do strong workouts, fight the urges and find a way not to fall in trap. You have to be very focused on that goal and you will see the difference!

    Start our own eight day challenge.

    Or, if you haven't, join one of the other challenges. I joined The Lord of the Rings challenge because I thought it would be fun. It's easy to get lost in a funk. All of us go through it.

    One thing which helps me is to process my past mistakes and to understand I am forgiven. I tend to beat myself up for things long in the past.
     
  5. Look man, your only goal is to get through today without PMO.

    Just today. It never needs to be bigger or harder than that.

    Wise.
     
  7. Thanks. It's always a let down when the people who need it don't come back.
    That's how it seems to roll around here.
