HOW TO RECOVER (QUICKLY) AFTER A

RELAPSE
(info guide by Nofap Club)

EXCESS DOPAMINE RELEASED POST-FAPPING

After fapping, your brain is overwhelmed by unnaturally excessive amounts of
dopamine(the reward chemical of your brain). Lack of dopamine can cause
serious medical conditions like Parkinson’s, restless leg syndrome and
depression.
If this practice is carried out excessively, it can desensitize your brain to
normal dopamine levels, creating a dependence on pornography.

To recover from this excessive dopamine hit, you need to match it with natural
activities like working out, eating healthy etc. So the 7 days post relapse are
absolutely critical for your Nofap journey.

RECOVERY TIPS
TAKE A COLD SHOWER
this is the most common tip for a reason, cold showers are the most effective to
reawaken your brain. Let’s be honest, cold showers are VERY unpleasant. By
taking a cold shower, your survival instinct kicks in and you’re full of adrenaline.
This pumps you up with energy and adrenaline to carry on with your work,
removing that groggy feeling.

 WORK ON SOMETHING
most nofappers tend to relapse when they’re bored. you can use this relapse as
a wake up call to get up and start working on something... complete that
assignment you’ve been procrastinating, get a gym membership and start
building your dream body.
distracting yourself from this disgusting habit by being productive is the best way
to excel in nofap.

EXERCISE
during ejaculation, men release a cocktail of brain chemicals, including
norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide (NO), and the
hormone prolactin... Oxytocin is also thought to reduce stress levels, which again
could lead to relaxation and sleepiness.
to recover from that tired feeling, just do what your body wants you to and sleep
for a good 2-3 hours. You’ll notice that you’re much more refreshed than you
were before sleeping. However this alone isn’t enough as you still won’t be as
refreshed as you were before relapsing.
after relapsing, your brain releases a lot of neurochemicals that make you feel
sloppy.
go for a quick 10 min long run or do some cardio exercises like jumping jacks and
jump squats to shake off that feeling and carry on with your life.

SLEEP...
As discussed before, after ejaculation, your brain secretes chemicals that trigger
sleepiness and relaxation. The best way to deal with this is to go along with it and
get a good 2-3 hour long sleep. After waking up, waste no time and get straight to
work, you’ll feel much better by the end of the day.

DON’T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF

one critical mistake made by most nofappers is that they abuse themselves for
giving into this addiction. you must realize that the porn industry are the masters
of biohacking and you’re just a victim.
this may sound cringe-y but everyone makes mistakes, the ability to deal with
such downfalls separates the great from the rest. instead of wasting your time
and energy into thinking low of yourself, implement these tips and channel your
energy into doing something productive.

 LIMIT YOUR (UNPRODUCTIVE) SCREENTIME
Nowadays we’re too reliant on technology for work. If you’re one of the fortunate
few who aren’t, then you should try not to look at a screen for a week (dopamine
detox). If you’re like most of us who are, then you should limit you unproductive
screen time and use your devices for productive purposes only.

EAT HEALTHY
This is one of the most overlooked activities of post relapse recovery, flooding
your brain with the excess dopamine of sugary processed foods will make you
more susceptible to relapsing.

DOES FAPPING DEPLETE MY MICRONUTRIENT RESERVE??

HOW DO I BOUNCE BACK FROM THIS?
yes and no. contrary to popular belief, you don’t lose a whole lot of nutrients after
fapping.

although semen is densely packed with micronutrients, it is easy to recover these

losses by a week of slightly higher than average micronutrient intake. releasing at
frequencies ≥ once in 10 days wouldn’t affect your body’s nutritional reserve. to get a
more detailed analysis on this you can contact a nutritionist as everyone’s bodies
and requirements are different.

however, if you’re excessively releasing semen, to the extent that you’re doing it
thrice everyday, we recommend you to contact a nutritionist immediately and ask
them for suitable multivitamin pills.

CONCLUSION:
Follow these tips and remember, a relapse is a minor setback, nofap is a lifestyle
and not a stupid one off challenge. You can either let this relapse define you, or you
can rise from this and be the best version of yourself!
