I feel like an failure

Hi, I’ve been on this app for two months now, and the only progress I made lasted for eight days. After those first eight days, I relapsed and lost it all. I tried to gain it back, but I quickly spiraled into my old routine of watching porn. I want to become better, but every day I wake up, I get the urge to watch porn—and I do it. I give in to the urge again and again, and it scares me. Maybe if I write this post and share my journey, it will become easier for me to fight it.

Its mind game

Honestly if it’s still hard to get a streak going I’d say get rid of anything that you would use to look up stuff like delete certain apps and disable all web browsers or to the extreme a screen time app and have someone you know share accountability. I mean it just depends on how far you wanna go I guess

It’s okay. Porn and masturbation is a scary cycle that is no different than a drug addiction. The best way is to go cold turkey and suffer for a few days and things start easing up. You’ll see life like never before. Good luck once again. You are not a failure. Youve had a eight day streak, and that is more than what ive had in 10 years (apart from my current streak). You can do it again
