    Hello, so today is day 1 after a relapse after 14 days. Had the chaser the day after but feel
    Much better today. Heres too 14+ days. Felt crap, like a dopamine
    Overload and just like that felt like i was crashing after PMO. Lots of lessons to be learnt.
    The journey continues

    That’s a really good start! The important thing is not the length of the streak, it’s the process of starting NF again after we relapsed and live a life where we’re not controlled so much by the habit. Keep up the good work :)

    I have been having some urges and temptations and really considered relapsing. What stopped me is I know I would binge all my progress away. I know how difficult it was for me to break it past day 0. I would like to pressure myself to keep going since I have a fairly decent streak at the moment. Quite certain I am going through flatline and not motivated or feeling bleh in general.

    I feel in a much better place lately (not sure if it is the weather improving/better energy or what). 31 days down! Only urges I have are "its been a while" or "it would feel 'nice'" so a relapse for me would be doing something stupid.

    My next target is 41 days (which is my record from years ago) which I can achieve quite easily if I feel the way I currently am

    I think that you need to try your best to look at what your trigger was and why you relapsed. Learn from it so it so if you come across the same situation, you can overcome it.

    Try your best to get back to the rhythm since you are vulnerable and can binge away all your progress. If it comes to it you can stay on these forums and communicate/help others. You can feed off of others posts/progress/encouragement.

    Yes, it's been probably 7-8 years (crazy to think) that I've gone this far. I have a good rhythm going and feel much better than first few weeks in. It does get better and I encourage everyone to push through! I am happy I was able to stay strong. We all have ups and downs. There are better ways of dealing with them than PMO (it does not fix the problem).

    I am starting to think about my ideal girl and starting to understand that my ideal girl would not be one who would sleep around/be permiscuous like the ones in the videos. I agree. Porn is evil. I am more into a traditional girl who I can bring home to my mom.

    Hi All,

    After a promising start to the year, i have fallen back to old ways. I guess this was inevitable and I expected it. What I didn’t expect is for the ‘rut’ to continue and whilst this is easily done (knowledge from past experiences), I thought my mindset was in the ‘right’ place.
    Why is it that whenever i feel at my lowest, its a good time to start a fresh. I didn’t really expect to share my feelings tonight, but a conversation with my loved one today has made me realise what a monster i am. At this current moment in time i have all the intentions of quitting PMO but to be truthful, how long will it last?
    I wan’t to be a better person. At present, i am in hell. I see no light out of the darkness.
    Yes tomorrow is a new day, but for how long? I tell myself that every day.
    I will try my best, to share on here daily to help me regulate the feelings i have, because with boredom these are my triggers.

    Hey my Friend, the painful thing about this addiction is that the results of relapsing aren’t bad enough to stop us from doing it. Yet the cumulating relapses in hindsight are hell and lost potential. Let’s make a habit out of starting NF again and stopping relapses quickly. You’ll see: the spirit will come back! You have motivated me to start again after a couple of months relapsing, I hope I can help you to start NF again.

    Stay strong Kings
