Man I don’t think it’s one thing alone
 I think you have to work hard to improve the conditions around you to make it easier to stop.

A lot of years ago I could stop for 2 years when I started dating. But when we broke up I relapsed and couldn’t make it back. It was very hard to stop when I was single.

Now I got a gf again, but that wasn’t enough this time. I had a job that made me really feel bad and insatisfied with my life. So I decided to quit and pursue my dream job. Since then it have been easier.

And recently I got back together with some old friends of mine that came back to my town, we set up a group of roleplaying games.

Having a gf and friends made me feel in a family, belonging to something. I think you can achieve this feeling without a partner, if you have a good connection to family and friends. It’s important to feel connected, to belong.

So it was a really long work of fixing many areas of my life, relationship, work, friends
 That helped a lot with my depression, anxiety and insomnia too. So I would say that I created an environment where making the effort to stop was easier, because I felt more accomplished. Things still are not ideal, and I too am human and may relapse at anytime, but all in all it’s working. (I also did therapy for 1 year)

It’s not stopping to watch porn to fix my life, was fixing my life that helped me stop.

There were others things too. First I just stopped watching; I would still masturbate whenever I felt like it, but without any screens around. Just the effort to stop watching was really hard. After the first 90 days I felt that I might accomplish nofap too. I am heading to my first 30 day of nofap. I think many try to do both things at once, it gets much much harder this way.

Also reading the easy peasy book helps a lot too. Understand how your brain work when on P, the way dopamine works, etc
 And, more important, that we must first understand logically why we have to stop. We may feel bad and try to quit, but these feelings are fleeting. You must really convince yourself that you will stop for good, you will never watch anymore in you life. My aim is to stop for good. Forever. Our brain is really good at giving us excuses for relapsing or peeking. Working out in your mind all this is of great help.

Well
 That is my take on it. I am no expert in the subject and I am struggling a lot too. So I hope you absorb what you think is useful of this :relaxed:

Thanks a lot for this valuable advice. I lost motivation to nofap since my relapse. Every now and then I Keep giving myself excuses to relapse again and again. I am mentally and emotionally drained, now giving myself excuses to relapse again and again. Thanks for the support.

It is very difficult indeed. But it counts that you’re still trying, don’t be hard on yourself, soon enough you’ll be able to do a high streak!

I can understand you bro.
I was facing the same.
As he said, it’s important to feel connected, p* gives us a sense of connection but it’s fake connection, it isn’t real, and over that it’s addictive.
Find time to talk to friends, get some work going, go out and talk to people, I think this is the only way in initial days, keep yourself busy with things that you actually like and are helpful in some way.
I also haven’t crossed 11 days since mid April, That’s when I broke my 4 month streak, and today I am on day 11, just holding on, not gonna search for anything negative and take good sleep.
