It does happen often (Chaser Effect). After I started NoFap September, I relapsed twice. But didnât do more after. Just donât do it after you relapse & totally abstain from Porn.

It is the result of 2 things. 1 the urges, and 2 faulty thinking. Like the other posters have said âthe chaser effectâ. But if youâve been on a high streak you should be able to deal with urges. I believe the biggest thing is your thinking will change at this time because of your mood change. When you relapse people usually feel terrible and they think they ruined their progress. In reality you only ruined the number of days youâd gone from last relapsing. Your progress is still there, you really think relapsing once will reset your brain to when you were relapsing multiple times a day everyday? Hell no. But people believe this and that in turn makes them have a âscrew itâ type of thought process where they think might aswell indulge in it since I messed up already. Thatâs so faulty and it causes the cycle to continue. My advice is even if you do relapse once only do it that once and continue on no pmo right after that same day. The addiction will in turn weaken and weaken and before you know it 90 days will become easier and easier to get to.

Binge relapsing is a common side effect of relapsing if you go all the way. A little P, okay, you may stop yourself and snap out of it and save yourself. But go all the way with PMO (Porn, Masturbation, Orgasm), and it all seems hopeless. You donât feel the pain yet because you are on a dopamine high, and because you want it more, youâll just go berserk for hours. At least, that is how it is for me.

Same here. Since I discovered this app I was able to make it until day 35 and then until day 18. Both those streaks ended in a binge. Now itâs day two again.
Well, it all seems rational and sane, but somehow my brain often manages to trick me into âdoing it just this one single timeâ⌠Iâm sure you guys know that feeling.
All the best Brother.

Bro the benefits still remain if you went for a massive streak and relapsed once or twice a year but consistently doing it is what drains your energy and powers is what i learnt but since our brain didnt get the dopamine for a long time it makes you fall for it massively after a long time
