Starting my nofap journey. Last week was the worst week of this year. I work in IT, but the job is not paying me properly, so I planned to study on weekends to give interviews in better places. I took planned leaves for 3 days, hoping to study during that time, but all 3 days were wasted in binge fapping for 3 days due to chaser effects. That was the moment I decided to go hard mode.
Starting my no-fap journey now. Today is day 4.
Welcome brother , all the best for your journey ahead and keep updating your journal .
Going good 
Thank you, brother, Glad to join this forum
Day 6: I’m feeling withdrawal pains. I was badly affected by addiction previously, but I will conquer it, as the easy peasy book said; it’s all just an illusion.
Day 10: I finally made a decent streak after a long while. It wasn’t very challenging since I am traveling and don’t have much alone time, but I will stay strong and won’t give in to the illusion of pleasure.
It has been two weeks since I last wrote here. Continuing my story, I relapsed on the 11th day, which left me feeling demotivated. Since then, I’ve experienced a constant cycle of relapses every 4-5 days. I failed the No Nut November challenge, with my most recent relapse occurring on Tuesday. Currently, I am on day 2 of trying again, and from this point forward, I am committed to being serious about my recovery. I’m considering listening to the “Easy Peasy Way” audiobook once more.
I’m on day five and I’ve been experiencing a lot of urges. I started watching some regular movies that had erotic scenes, but I stopped myself midway before acting on those urges. I can feel withdrawal symptoms, especially at night when I’m not feeling sleepy.
Feeling strong and energetic, I can feel some invisible energy flowing within me
I’ve reached day 10, and I have no withdrawal pains. It feels great! There were mild urges when I was resting, so I strummed my acoustic guitar, and they were gone.
Great ! Amazing to see you hitting 2 digit streak, keep going my brother! 3 digit mark within few months 
!
Sadly I relapsed 2 times back to back and got back to day 0, starting fresh, it was a result of watching erotica, not â– â– â– â– , Now I realize watching it eventually acts as a peek, and makes you relapse sooner or later.
I need to avoid everything, not just â– â– â– â– .
After a tough relapse, I’ve decided to adopt a new strategy: I will no longer count the days of my nofap journey. Instead, I’ve set a random date for my rewire countdown and will not use any other counters.
I’ve realized that counting the days only made me anxious, especially since I’ve never managed to stay streak-free for more than 30 days. I tend to struggle around day 7-8 and again on days 14-15. By not keeping track of the days, I hope to alleviate some of that pressure; perhaps it was all in my head.
Moving forward, my focus will be on meditation, studying, playing guitar, and developing my other skills.
I had a challenging month and unfortunately relapsed multiple times, to the point where I lost count. Now I am starting fresh with Day 1. I’ve realized that when you don’t track your progress, you lose a sense of what you’ve accomplished so far, which can lead to more relapses since you’re unaware of what’s at stake. Moving forward, I am not going to focus too much on my streak or the exact count. Instead, I will keep track of them so that on any random day, I can reflect and see where I am and the progress I’ve made.
