I was so close to making it to three days but I had a rough end to my day and it really wasn’t even that rough but one reel popped up on my feed and it hooked all those feelings in and I just couldn’t let go of them. I do feel that I am getting better at handling these feelings and gaining a better relationship with Christ but I just gotta learn when I’m down I don’t need to do this and when those triggers hit I need to come to this app and look at what kind of progress I’m losing. I tried the panic button but it just didn’t help my emotions were way too strong and I couldn’t hold the feelings back of just taking a peek and that peek led me to beating my shit yet again. If anyone has any kind of advice I would really appreciate it.
Hey man, I hear you. Respect for your honesty and for showing up here. I’m on a 7-day streak right now, and trust me, I’ve been exactly where you are — telling myself “just one peek” when emotions get heavy or the day feels off. Here’s what’s helped me: ✅ Shift the focus from “don’t do it” to “what can I run toward instead?” It’s not just about resisting; it’s about redirecting. When the urge hits, have a go-to action ready — pray, text a friend, do push-ups, step outside, or even jump in here and type like you did. ✅ Remind yourself of your WHY. When you’re about to slip, ask: What am I really looking for right now? Comfort? Escape? Control? And then remind yourself: Porn won’t truly give me any of those. ✅ Don’t be afraid of slipping — but don’t let it become your story. You didn’t “fail.” You’re learning. The fact you came back here, reflected, and asked for advice? That’s a win. Keep fighting. You’re not alone in this, man. Keep leaning on Christ, keep stacking your wins, and when you stumble, get back up fast. Proud of you for showing up here
