I relapsed

Another thing that’s really helping me right now is knowing what triggers me and when I’m most vulnerable. I got rid of instagram, only use TikTok for posting content, and I use an app called Opal that closes off apps at certain times of the day. As for Snapchat (which is littered with triggers) I got a 10 min timer on it that I only use for keeping streaks with my close friends. And like the last comment even changing what kind of music you listen to helps to remove certain triggers, if the music cusses or mentions suggestive themes that can bring up sexual thoughts you gotta do a detox from them. Lastly and most importantly something that really helps me is making time for God throughout the day. Before eating breakfast open up the verse of the day and meditate on it. Pray during your free time or even just be in God’s presence. And before you go to bed try not to be on your phone, but if you do make sure the content you’re consuming is actively bringing you closer to God. You got this trust ‼️

Thank you so much

It sounds dumb, but wear jeans all the time. It requires more effort to do it if you’re wearing jeans, makes it more difficult, and makes the act more intentional if you take them off or unzip them. I even sleep in jeans! Listen to emotional or Christian music, get your mind as far away from that garbage as possible, in the opposite direction. Say “I’m choosing to do this” if you start doing it. That makes the act entirely intentional, and gives you no excuse but to wrestle control back over your thoughts and actions. Though I will admit I don’t do very well with saying that myself.

Please any advice would be appreciated

I am in the same boat as you. I’m so sorry, my brother in Christ. We’ll get through this and vanquish it🙏. I do have some advice that may be helpful to stop it.
