o

Boredom?

o
o

Stress relief?

 Emotional: Journaling, meditation, talking to someone.

Exercise daily

Tell a trusted friend, mentor, or counselor.




Join NoFap or similar support forums (Reddit: r/NoFap, etc.)




Use accountability apps like "Fortify" or "Reboot Nation"

🤝 You don’t have to fight alone.

✅ Step 8: Expect Relapses – and Don’t Give Up



Slipping up doesn’t mean failure.




Learn from it:

What triggered it?

o
o

How can I avoid it next time?

Restart your streak. Every attempt makes you stronger.

 

🌱 Growth is not linear—be patient with yourself.

✅ Step 9: Address Underlying Issues

If the addiction is masking deeper issues like:

Anxiety




Loneliness




Depression



Lack of intimacy
Then talk to a counselor or therapist. Healing the root can solve the surface.
