Today was my Day 4 of NoFap… But in the afternoon, my penis was hard. I went to the washroom and started masturbating (shaking), but then suddenly, I don’t know what happened — I stopped midway… without actually relapsing.
Would this be considered a relapse? Do I have to start again from Day 1?
Remember Edging is bad as relapse. You can always start again.

Yes start again. Otherwise you will keep doing it.
And don’t do this. I just come to know that it can cause blue balls
Very close call, it is NOT a relapse,
it can be edging be very careful and stay away from triggers
You masturbated, so it’s relapse.
Start again clean.
Good on you for reaching out man. Welcome to this epic community :). Yes, it is a relapse; does doing that give your brain a chance to heal? It doesn’t, so it shouldn’t be included in your “days spent healing” (clean).
Some of my best advice would be focus on every day, making them as good generally as you can. Eat well, sleep at good times, exercise, hold yourself to high standards in terms of focus and work and morality, etc. whatever works for you. Push yourself and your body and brain will adapt, as that is what they are designed to do.
You’ve got this man, and we’ll help you :). Just stick around here and you’ll find that.
