Masturbation Relapse

Ive just had a relapse. I went 28 days without masturbation and ive just messed up. Im a masturbation addict trying to quit.

Its so hard to live that simple life without masturbation. I want to quit for good.

Ive seen the benefits on NoFapping but my dumbass has no will power.

Can someone motivate me to be more productive and quit masturbation.

I WANT TO QUIT FOR GOOD, SO PLEASE DONT SUGGEST THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE FOR WHATEVER REASON

Hello, I would say the best way to avoid is by avoiding thoughts that may cause a relapse. Such thoughts may be brought by watching sexually explicit video songs, or porn. Also, you can engage in an involving task any time you have such thoughts let's say you can go for a cycle or a run if you are fit to. I recommend you to find some time and read the book Awaken The Giant Within so that you will get enlightenment on how to make ultimate decisions.

Yo man, I'm this journey with you! Don't beat yourself up when you relapse. Recognise what got you to that stage and make the necessary changes to avoid it next time.

Figure out your triggers. Is it boredom? Loneliness? Once you have your triggers figured out, do something about it. Make changes to your daily routine if necessary. You need to transmute that sexual energy into something positive. This could be exercise, learning a new skill, indulging in hobbies etc. Find your passion and put your heart and soul into it.

If you feel tempted to relapse, jump into a cold shower. Go for a run. Do push ups till you can't no more. Do anything to get your mind off of porn/masturbation. You've got this man, I believe in you.

For the record, 28 days is f*cking dope. You should be proud. You've relapsed, but that doesn't mean you've lost all your progress. Just make sure you don't binge. Now go man, go and prove to yourself that you're a warrior who never gives up.
