Hey all! I just had a relapse after being 8 days clean. Man it was awesome to not see porn and masturbarte for that long. I’m proud that I went this far but feeling discouraged as I just relapsed. Definitely was feeling sad and upset before I relapsed because I wasn’t getting along with my mom and brother. Any advice or words of encouragement would be awesome as I am feeling upset. Thanks everyone! Keep going strong. We all got this!!

as an alternative to john's idea, you could also write down what it feels like to relapse. read it if you feel like you're gonna relapse

shit happens, be proud of what you've accomplished so far. I have also used jacking off as a coping mechanism when I'm sad, I've since switched to running. Try to find a new hobby while you build up your streak, something you can go to in times of need instead of porn. I believe in you dude, u got this

Some advice I would do is record a video of yourself telling how bad it feels after relapsing, I know it sound corny but that is helping me. It’s like looking into the future in a way.
