Need Help. Cannot Stop!
Day 3

Hello people. I’ve been trying to quit for the past 2 weeks and could not go for more than 4 days at a time. Initially I thought since it’s been a habit for quite a long time, it will take 2 to 3 tries to actually make it work. But here I am, after 5 failed attempts to quit. I absolutely hate it. I really want to stop but always find a way to relapse. I’ve seeing all sorts of motivational content, listening to people talk about loving yourself and respecting the decisions you make for yourself. It just does not work. I am feeling very helpless at this point.
I definitely think it’s the assumptions you had before saying “it will take 2-3 times to work.” I’ve had to set it in my mind that I can’t have second chances. Once you give yourself leeway, you start putting it in your mind that, “oh well now just wasn’t the right time. I still got 1-2 more times allowed though.” Get rid of social media. I had to get rid of Instagram and snapchat because the amount of soft porn on there is crazy. Put “parental controls” on things like game libraries and social media. Discord: leave anything that can tempt you. Steam or other game stores: turn off sexual content shown. Sorry for the long essay. But definitely some advice. Stay strong 💪praying for you to persevere. My discord is kwops if you need more help my man.
