35 years old male …my streak is 35 days so far

Yes, And I love this rule, because many times people (including me), think that since I’ve done it once, why not twice? I am having a really good feeling about this challenge

Yup that’s why it’s important to remember to never miss twice.

In past, I’ve relapsed many times without having an urge, thinking that since it’s been long there is no harm in peeking. And the thoughts are so quick that I am not able to identify them. Any tips?

You must remove the brainwashing of “I need PMO”. Once you do, you’ll even feel pity for those who are currently addicted to it. I advice you to read “The Easy Peasy Way To Quit 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇” . It’s the best book for nofap and it will change your view towards this addiction. There is also a dedicated thread to it here:

Okay, noted. And it’s been like as soon as some urge appears, I quickly give up without even fighting it😔, so that I don’t waste time. What to do?

Check in for day 3

You need awareness. James Clear in his book “Atomic Habits” noted that it’s very important to be ware of what you do. Stay in reality and slap and talk to yourself. You are the boss of your mind not the reverse. Here is a helpful table that I think will help you:

HOW TO CREATE A GOOD HABIT

The 1st Law	Make It Obvious
1.1	Fill out the Habits Scorecard. Write down your current habits to become aware of them.
1.2	Use implementation intentions: “I will [BEHAVIOR] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].”
1.3	Use habit stacking: “After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].”
1.4	Design your environment. Make the cues of good habits obvious and visible.
The 2nd Law	Make It Attractive
2.1	Use temptation bundling. Pair an action you want to do with an action you need to do.
2.2	Join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.
2.3	Create a motivational ritual. Do something you enjoy immediately before a difficult habit.
The 3rd Law	Make It Easy
3.1	Reduce friction. Decrease the number of steps between you and your good habits.
3.2	Prime the environment. Prepare your environment to make future actions easier.
3.3	Master the decisive moment. Optimize the small choices that deliver outsized impact.
3.4	Use the Two-Minute Rule. Downscale your habits until they can be done in two minutes or less.
3.5	Automate your habits. Invest in technology and one time purchases that lok in future behavior.
The 4th law	Make It Satisfying
4.1	Use reinforcement. Give yourself an immediate reward when you complete your habit.
4.2	Make “doing nothing” enjoyable when avoiding a bad habit. Design a way to see the benefits.
4.3	Use a habit tracker. Keep track of your habits streak and don’t break the chain.
4.4	Never miss twice. When you forget to do a habit, make sure to get back on track immediately.
