How do I stop relapsing???

I just relapsed again last night, and I don’t know to stop the urge when I get it. Sometimes I get so horny and want to jerk off so bad it’s like I have to do it. I obviously downloaded this app because I want to stop and know it’s worth it, but in the moment I feel the opposite way like I have to jerk off and it’s not worth quitting. Any advice??

I’m also early in this journey but after you masturbate for me I always get this weird feeling of post-nut clarity. My suggestion is trying to use that feeling to your advantage whenever you lust or have the feeling of wanting to masturbate remember how bad you felt when you did masturbate or did think of someone in a lustful way. You might feel bad at first but right after you remember why you’re doing it. I’ve never felt good after masturbating that’s what I try to remember.

It’s always going to be hard but over time it gets easier. Of course you’re going to flap here and there but the goal is to flap less and less. Then eventually you will stop. But to answer your question more thoroughly, focus on why you started in the first place. If you have to jerk off, try replacing it with walking, working out, reading, or anything with your hobbies. Of course it’s easier said than done. I hope this helps

It’s not about stopping cold turkey now and it ganna work man, it’s a progress, something that we need to actively flee against, it’s hard we all here for the same reason, and tour ganna fail, but remember to never stay down, get back up again and step by step oh get better from it, the time between relapse get smaller and sooner or later be free from this. You got this man don’t give up.
