I have been doing no fap for more than 3 years now and I have been hittting my targets and did relapses too. I did not have that much control over myself.
My Previous best streak was
120+ Days and Also did 90 - 80 days too.
My current streak was 192 Days starting with the new year. It was my new year goal too that I won’t do P.M.O in hard mode. I was successful too without any problem.
but
Last night, I unconsciously touched my Penis while I wake up from my sleep in the middle of the night, I was half sleep and not completely conscious about it.
I ejaculated too.
the thing I want help with to decide whether this consider as a relapse or should I reset my counter ?
Imagine that you started working at the gym for 192 and you gained huge muscles and today you ate junk food and stopped workout. Would your muscles disappear? No, of course not.
But, you will have this feeling to eat junk food again.
Same thing with masturbation, if you do Nofap for 192 days and relapsed one time, nothing is effected but the path way about masturbation in your brain is now reopened so all you got to do is to not relapse again intill that path way is closed again, it will take one week pr two at max.
I mean what did you do did you only touch it and ejaculated it or did you masturbate ,still considering you were half awake…and didnt do it on purpouse i dont see it as a relapse…even it was…maybe you lost like 5 days …i wouldnt worry to much about it
Thanks for your words Bros !
I have resetted the counter (with heavy heart)
as I relapsed in the morning…!
Will be way more focused this time, And Insha Allah the number won’t increase from 1 - 2 for this year ( which is my first target) and then, to move on to next year
See that really depends on your goal. If it is to abstain from ■■■■, then really resetting is useless. But if you were on a goal of complete Brahmacharya, then yeah go on. Reset.
And come on, dont trouble yourself much. You have done just once in 192 days. Its ok. Carry on.
I mean you didnt lose all of your gains…like 99% of it is still here…just dont do it again…even if you put your streak at day 0 now…you should know that you are on lets say day 185 instead of 0
