I’ve noticed that the most of the times when I feel like relapsing it’s when I’m feeling very happy or proud of myself. Like when everything’s going great or I hit a new pr at the gym the night after I feel like goning, am I the only one who’s experiencing this?
Everyone has it brother. As soon as you brag with your achievements you become weaker
The mind playing tricks on yourself. This. Unfortunately this is one of my weaknesses as well. As soon as things start to go well, the devil tries to make his move (this is what I believe to be true at least) because this is when you let your walls down. If there’s one thing i learned that helped me, it’s to remind yourself in good times that you do not need porn, and almost as like a trick remind yourself that maybe these good times may not have happened if you were still watching porn. Something to think about and test out.
