I saw something online that made a lot of sense to me. Picture yourself building a house. Everyday you hold out watching porn, you complete one part of the house. Day 1 you build a foundation, day 2 the walls, day 3 the roof, etc etc. don’t look at one relapse like the hose is totally collapsed and you have to start from the beginning. It’s more like a broken window and now you have to replace it. One relapse doesn’t destroy your progress.
Wow this is an amazing analogy thanks for sharing. I used to think that if I relapse then I have failed but now I think of relapsing as just a fall or a little bump in the road and I have to get back up again.
