Why do I still crave porn even though I don't want that shit?

  1. Hello fellow fapstronauts! Right now, as I'm writing this post, it's 2 AM and I only got what seemed like two and a half hours of sleep so far and now, I can't fall back asleep and it feels so painful.

    I don't even know why this is happening right now. Normally I can fall asleep effortlessly (even on the floor) and stay asleep the whole night without any interruptions (except when I have to take a piss), but tonight... not so much.

    Anyways, this isn't the problem; what's even worse is that now the urges have come back to haunt me. I'm now craving my "favorite" porn genres more than ever now that I'm vulnerable at this state of mind.

    I'm not going to simply give in to the temptations of the devil this time; there's no excuse to fap to fucking porn, not even during sleepless nights. I vow to never waste my life anymore doing the things I hate; we only live life once, don't waste it!

    Anyways, what are some good ways to deal with the urges? I remember back during the early days of my NoFap journey, I used to be so strong-willed and determined, I never wanted PMO again; I learned to despise it.

    This allowed me to stay clean for around 17 months until I unfortunately relapsed for the first time, which resulted in more and more relapsing which was awful.

    Three months used to be nothing for me; that was so easy back then. Nowadays, it's a struggle for me to even reach two months, but I won't give up; only pussies would that do that!

    You've experienced that yourself. 17 months sober--which is amazing--but then you relapsed and the wheels completely came off.

    You may feel like you're struggling with urges now, but I promise you you'll only struggle with them more if you allow yourself to give in.

    Urges are temporary. Go and do something else. Go for a walk around your neighborhood (if it's safe) and listen to a podcast or something (in fact, podcasts are my go-to for bedtime. I put one on, lay back in bed, and I'm usually asleep within five minutes).
