Every addiction that people get help with usually starts with this advice but I do not see it promoted on NOFAP and hence probably why there are so many loopers. Loopers reset again immediately out of guilt and feel bad about the whole thing. The reset is always too hasty and not thought out after a relapse. I also was in this loop to the point where I just thought this is stupid. I read on here a lot guys that are basically relapsing constantly and they are in the loop as you say. Here is my best tip for breaking the relapse loop. Good luck, man, you've made real progress so far and I know you can go as far as you want! But, you will fail unless you start living like someone who's not a PMO junkie. There's no special thing that makes it work, it's just willpower. Making PMO a non-option is a decision you have to make and commit to. Your mind and body will be tougher and more fulfilled, which makes it easier to say no. I can't say urges go away, or even that they're not strong anymore, but you will have a thicker spirit to deal with them with. Once you start living like someone who wants to suck the marrow out of life (which you don't have to go and live in the woods in tune with Nature or anything to do, you just need to live your life, however you want it to be like, "to the max," as they say), it'll be easier. Talk to strangers, ask girls (or guys) out, go to events, concerts, or situations that you normally wouldn't (though you don't have to put yourself in danger or do something outside of your morals or anything). Working out is one way, and it does release dopamine and endorphins, but you need to do more. The dopamine high and rush that PMO give you need to be replaced, or else your mind will just take it out on you until you go back to it. It's about being okay with not being comfortable and not having instant gratification all the time. That's why cold showers are so popular here, along with good diets and active lifestyles. You can't just try doing that with one habit in your life, and still eat shit, procrastinate, and live cozy all the time. You have to acclimate yourself to being uncomfortable. It's not as simple as, "I don't fap anymore." If you just start telling yourself that and don't try to change anything besides trying to resist urges, it won't last. To break the pattern, you have to do things differently. I've said this same thing to two people already tonight, but I think it really applies to those of us who struggle with these cycles.
