Identifying the Pattern

Relapse is not something that happens instantly. The process of relapse begins days before you relapse, in your mind. Believe me or not, there is a pattern to relapsing. Let me break it to you piece by piece.

Let’s say there is a girl whose video you used to watch regularly. You will think that let me just look at her picture, just her face. Then you look at her entire picture. This is where it gets critical. Now you will want to look at her nudes. Before you know it you will be surfing for Porn and you will end up doing PMO.

You have to stop your self from looking at her pictures or any other girls nude or semi-nude pictures. When you quit Porn, in the first few days you are at a very vulnerable spot. Your mind is recovering and you will be aroused by simplest of pictures of girls.

Different people have different patterns. Find your pattern to stop relapsing.

Social Media

I am not saying that you quit social media completely but you have to unfollow or unsubscribe from those accounts who have arousing pictures of semi-nude girls. This is related to the first stage “Identifying the Pattern“.

You will be surfing on Instagram, minding your own business and suddenly you see a superfit girl wearing minimal clothes. You will be instantly aroused because your brain is on Porn withdrawal. The next thing you know you will be on her account looking at all her pictures and on other accounts looking at other graphics and arousing pictures.

You have to unsubscribe or unfollow such accounts if you want to avoid relapse.

Frequently visit the NoFap website or watch a NoFap Youtube Videos

This is a very effective way if you want to avoid relapse. Visit a website YourbrainonPorn.com or watch a Youtube video. Look at the benefits others have achieved by doing NoFap. The benefits of Nofap are undeniable and watching these videos or reading such articles will help you because they are very motivational.

If those people can achieve such things then you can too. By seeing such videos you also come to know that what Porn is doing to your brain. Read a scientific study here and there. You will start to loathe Porn once you know that you are addicted to it and you cannot function without porn. It’s the harsh reality.

Do Not Take It Lightly

If you want to avoid relapse from happening again and again then you should remember one thing: It’s not easy. The sooner you realize it the better. If you think it is easy then you will browse through sexy pics or watching nudes. The next thing you know, you are in an incognito window and you are playing with your little friend.

When you are not feeling any urges, you will feel that it is easy but when urges hit hard your brain will make up any excuse for watching Porn and Fapping.

Replace your Urges

This tip can help you a lot to avoid relapse. You have to find a suitable replacement for your urges. Choose a set of things when you feel that the urges are uncontrollable – do jumping jacks, burpees or a set of pushups. Do some chores at home or watch a Nofap motivational video.

Sometimes the urges will hit you so hard that you have to leave home. Go to a mall or a public place. In a nutshell, you have to keep yourself busy, a lot. When you are at home your brain will ask for it but replace it with something productive.

One day At A Time

You have to take it one day at a time. Your main focus should be to make it to the end of the day without fapping. If your goal is 90 days or even longer. If you take it one day at a time then it will make your goals more reachable and measurable. You will not get demoralized if you think that just a few hours until bedtime and one day will pass. This sounds horrible but once you start seeing the benefits, you will be happy that you started in the first place.

If you have a 90-day goal then don’t think that you have 89 days more day to go on the first day. This will demotivate you. Break it down to day by day to avoid relapse.

No Edging

Edging is worst then masturbating. It says that you have no control over your desires. Edging is feeding your addiction. It’s a part of PMO. Even if you are not doing P and O, you are still doing M and the goal of doing NoFap is doing none of these things.

If you continue to edge, you will relapse. To avoid relapse, you have to stop edging too. If you continue to do it then you are destined to fail.

Stop Watching Porn

Well, this is an obvious one. All the Nofap enthusiasts know that wrecking effects of Porn on the brain. Whatever you do, don’t let it lead up to porn. If you are on NoFap then your dopamine levels are getting back to normal and you don’t want to mess up the progress you have made.
