Rules of Try Try Again challenge
Absolutely no porn.
Give yourself a small achievable target eg 3 days, 5 days or 7 days for no masturbation.
Try to achieve target, then decide if you want to add 3 /5 /7 days or want to relapse by just masturbating if you think it’s getting absolutely difficult to control.
If you relapse before achieving target, and if you relapse consciously after achieving target, you have to post a RELAPSE REPORT in which you will mention reason for relapse, anti reason to avoid this in future to achieve a higher streak, and strategy to apply next time to avoid relapse.
Example is given below in post 3.
In conclusion you will not watch porn and hence quit porn for good. Furthermore, you will learn to control urge to masturbate and increase your self control with time.
By following this, you will learn why you relapse and avoid it. You won’t fall into chaser effect but get back up the next day. Your mental health will improve because you are constantly improving even if you relapse.
You will not only keep the good habits you develop during a streak but also make them stronger and better. You will continue improving.
How to join
Mention following
Current streak
Target streak
Reason for relapse
Anti reason to avoid this in future to achieve a higher streak
Current streak: Day 0 Target Streak: 7 Days Reason for Relapse:
sexual thought caused strong Urge to fap and I thought the urge is very strong and I won’t be able to control in the future.
I also started browsing internet with hope to stumble upon pics of girls. Later I searched for pics consciously and once I did that, there was no way back.
Anti Reason: Urge is temporary, no matter how strong, time will decrease the intensity.
Future Strategy:
I will stop the sexual thought in it tracks, don’t allow it to cause urge to grow stronger.
I won’t browse internet mindlessly. I will only use Screen for 2 hours a day at end of the day after I finish all my daily tasks. This is Selective Dopamine detox, a habit I can continue for all my life.

Welcome Bro…
I was stressed today and stress is usually a trigger for me. But today I relaxed. I ate lunch. Took a nap. I didn’t turn to porn. I’m fine now.
Yes. Since Monday, I have been telling my brain that the smart phone is only meant for personal communication to family and friends, important research, this Rewire app, and this 1 game I enjoy playing called Sky.
I can make friends in the game. I have met people from all over the world. Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, even a Portuguese girl who lives in England.
I literally had 1 day last week where I was super lonely and talked to a player for 3 minutes. And most of my loneliness disappeared.
