But for real: I am setting a goal - I WILL NOT relapse before Monday. On Monday I will go back to school after spring break and I should be able to get back into my routine (in which I leave little extra time - so less chance for MO).
Also, a question: has anyone tried or heard if “punishing” yourself for relapsing is effective? I don’t mean in a bad way, but just something like “when I relapse I must immediately do 30 pushups” (which hurts by the end because I am a weakling). Is that useful or is it harmful?

Don’t do that. The best way to treat a relapse is a learning experience. Find out why you slipped on that banana and then learn to go around it next time. Everybody slips on their journey, but you must choose to get back up! So let’s do this!

@walnut2141, You didn’t make me relapse. I read. I Googled. I relapsed. My fault.
@walnut2141, As appealing as it is to torture yourself after a relapse, remember that relapse and urges are torture enough.
@Finding_Myself is absolutely right, we need to learn from our relapse and not repeat what we do.
And in order to do that we need to as @mystery69 said. To disconnect from the internet and do something else.
Also @mystery69, saying DONT FAP is easier said than done. If it were that easy, this would not be a tough addiction that destroys young men everyday.

Man/ woman up you guys! It’s like you guys aren’t even trying. Let’s try staying off for a day. Once you’ve got a day report that instead of the relapses.

I am not saying its easy but just follow the rules, you have to follow the system and i have been where you people are, and the only thing that stoped me was i was thinking about it more than doing stuff, nofap is just a side hustle you hqve to do real work and focus on life rather than nofap itself, otherwise relapse is inevitible

My life is 4 days of work and 3 days of boredom and loneliness.
I have no life besides that. No friends to hang with, no groups to join, to parties to attend l, etc.
My life is work and helping my mom care for my sick dad.
My lack of life is why i keep failing.
Not that it matters im at 22 hours right now

I’m sorry if I came off as a nag. I had a hard time quitting this thing I was supposed to quit after it leeched onto me during COVID. Actually there were a couple of them but this one thing just won’t leave me. What finally worked was not thinking about it. I mean it took me some time to get there but I’ve felt finally gotten rid of it. This time it feels like the time I quit COC (that had gotten really bad too, I was running 4 different accounts and getting up every hour to get my builders working). Then there was anime… But once you start waning off you forget it’s even there. Everyone else’s struggle here made me stronger not gonna lie. When you’re free your thoughts wonder. Try to schedule the next day before going to bed and revise the schedule in the morning. Stick to it and hopefully sheet will work out. You guys got this.

Not forever. Never forever. That is simply a lie. There is always hope, just don’t give up. Hold on. You may fail. We all fail, but isn’t that just life? Don’t get stuck on it. Just keep trying. As long as you are wholeheartedly trying to stop, that is what counts. You are not stuck forever. You are never stuck forever. There is always hope.
