Confidence is pretty high this week. I’m about 6 days in and I love this feeling. Just worried about this weekend. I’m going out to drink with friends on vacation and worried about Sunday hangover since this is when I relapse Any pointers?
Avoid a hangover by drinking a glass of water with every 2-3 drinks, knowing the right amount of drinks to have so you are drunk but aren’t stumbling, sick, or blackout. Then have like two glasses of water and some electrolytes before you go to bed. In terms of relapsing Idk too much about how to prevent that because I have relapsed many times. I learned something yesterday about the hot and cold mindset in the brain, cold is focused on short term benefits, immediate pleasure and satisfaction, and is very impulsive. The hot mindset is more logical and focuses on long term befits and what is truly best. I think so I don’t relapse im going to use the tools on this app, definitely not delete the app as the app prevents me from being able to access porn, just maturbating without porn, and writing down why I am quitting so I can remember because I feel like when I relapse I forget the reasons I want to quit. Also to get over the “one more time” its not one more time, its gonna be many more times and it just destroys your progress. Try to convince yourself that getting over porn addiction is only as hard as you make it, enjoy the other aspects and freedoms you have in life.
