    I was doing so well and feeling amazing, I was doing things I’d never do while I was still watching porn but after my 8 days the urges took over and after I’d finished, I felt like all the progress I’d made was destroyed and that I’d go back to being a porn addict. PLEASE give me so tips to prevent this.

    First u must analyze yourself and your habbit

    What cause you to watch porn? Loneliness? Stress after work or what? Find the trigger and time when u watch it

    Example,, i ssualy watching porn because stress from work when im alone at night in my bed rooms

    So to avoid that,i go to the gym almost every night, especially when im stress out



    U must have a counter strategy to defeat NoFap, goin all out without strateeggy will likely ended up in fail

    I agree that you need to identify the trigger and find a way to counter that. You could find a good book, listen to wholesome music, work out, maybe great a new reward system in your mind using these things or favorite foods.

    When we are lonely, upset, stressed out, or bored, we try to self-sooth through porn because subconsciously we know it will flood our brains with dopamine and we will feel great. However dopamine can be found from other things like building things, art, music, favorite foods etc. So next time, try to create a new reward system in your mind that will replace pornography.

    Most importantly DON'T GIVE UP!! You've got this! You went 8 days! You don't need that vice in your life! Pick yourself up, forgive yourself, and move forward with new tools for success

  4. Make it to 8 days again and then push for 9.....keep going and don't give up if you fall down again.

    Get up, move on. Don't focus on days just go.
