I am so upset. I made it 14 days, but I have had a chill day and just spent 15 minutes looking at things I shouldn’t. I didn’t masturbate, but this feels like a relapse nonetheless. I feel very discouraged.

It happens, Garrett. Coming across content like that these days is near to impossible. Little steps - what I see here, is a man wanting to change something, become free + you stopped yourself and didn’t fully do what you would’ve done before you decided to start this journey. I’d consider this a slip up, although 15 minutes is quite some time you wasted on that. Make sure this does NOT become a pattern, but also try to be proud of you for stopping yourself and not jerking off to it.

Next time those reels pop up on your feed (bc they will!), have your first instinct be to tap the 3 dots in the corner and hit “Not Interested”.
