Hi all!

The top 3 questions I get, and have been getting since I started talking about NoFap and quitting p**n, have always been…

I did insert some borderline activity, was it a relapse?
Is having a wet dream considered a relapse?
I just relapsed on insert day, am I back to zero?

I can already tell you that, yes of course we want to stop relapsing, especially if we are addicted to p**n.

However, this mindset of “being back to zero”, has to change.

It just has to!

Especially when it comes to a bit longer streaks, say 45 days plus.

Because you learn something on every streak.

You learn something about NoFap and about life in general, and you take that knowledge with you to your next streak.

Also, in terms of your brain health, one small relapse doesn’t wipe out all the healing you’ve done on a longer streak.

Now, it’s a bit different if you keep relapsing every week. Then, sure, you are pretty much spinning your wheels in terms of brain health.

But brain health is not the only metric when we measure success. What about all the things you learn, and discover?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should neglect brain health. No, for many that should be their biggest goal, I’m just saying it’s not the ONLY thing.

So, this idea of being back to zero is never really fair, as we need to look at the bigger picture.

Plus it causes so much mental pain.

In general, we move forward in life. Things happen, but we keep on moving forward, and as far as I’m concerned, there’s no ‘zero’ in life.

The only day zero was when we were born.

And even then it wasn’t really day zero, but actually day one :slight_smile:

Just keep…moving…forward and fear Allah.

DEFEAT [POEM] BY KAHLIL GIBRAN

Defeat, my Defeat, my solitude and my aloofness;

You are dearer to me than a thousand triumphs,

And sweeter to my heart than all world-glory.

Defeat, my Defeat, my self-knowledge and my defiance,

Through you I know that I am yet young and swift of foot

And not to be trapped by withering laurels.

And in you I have found aloneness

And the joy of being shunned and scorned.

Defeat, my Defeat, my shining sword and shield,

In your eyes I have read

That to be enthroned is to be enslaved,

And to be understood is to be leveled down,

And to be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness

And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.

Defeat, my Defeat, my bold companion,

You shall hear my songs and my cries and my silences,

And none but you shall speak to me of the beating of wings,

And urging of seas,

And of mountains that burn in the night,

And you alone shall climb my steep and rocky soul.

Defeat, my Defeat, my deathless courage,

You and I shall laugh together with the storm,

And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us,

And we shall stand in the sun with a will,

And we shall be dangerous.

Poem

Life is a journey
With twists and turns
Sometimes we stumble
Sometimes we learn

Life is a challenge
With highs and lows
Sometimes we struggle
Sometimes we grow

Life is a gift
With joys and sorrows
Sometimes we cherish
Sometimes we borrow

Life is a mystery
With questions and answers
Sometimes we wonder
Sometimes we discover

"Until the roof
The roof comes off
Until my legs
Give out from underneath me

I will not fall,
I will stand tall,
Feels like no one could beat me""
