7 Day Check-In

This is my first post. It’s been 7 days since I last masturbated. Funny enough, when I first downloaded this app, I actually relapsed before even hitting the 24-hour mark. That was pretty discouraging, but I picked myself back up, reset, and now I’ve made it to one full week. The first couple days were rough, but after day 3, things felt more manageable. I started to feel like, “Okay, maybe I can really stick with this.” But today (day 7) has been challenging. I’ve had really strong urges, I even opened up some porn just to look at it. I didn’t act on it, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little ashamed for even going that far. Still, I’m taking the win. I didn’t give in fully, and I’m learning that slip-ups in thought or curiosity aren’t the same as failing. This is progress. Just trying to stay grounded and remind myself why I started. Hoping the urges ease up soon. Appreciate this space and everyone’s support. :)
