Hey first time writer, I’ve been at this for the last six-ish days. I’m having trouble with relapsing. The first time I used this I made to a day almost two but failed twice. Then I made it two days and some change. I’m finding it hard to fight the urge sometimes. I know with addiction it’s not necessarily a win or lose it’s a on going battle. But would love to hear some peoples advice on the matter. I’m trying not to beat myself up but I’ve been trying to stop for a while before I got to this app my best attempt being a week but I haven’t been able to reach that in the last six months.

That’s some good idea I’ve sorta figured out some trigger but I’m having trouble with my reasons for stopping and reminding myself of them. I just haven’t felt as strong with this battle. I know it’s not impossible but it’s been giving some push back. I appreciate your advice and I’ll try to add it to myself

It helps to have as many reasons as to why you absolutely hate porn and why you are quitting. It will always win if you don’t hate it with everything you have. And the other advice I can give you is to identify your triggers and change those routines. If it happens when you have a lot of free time and are sitting around doing nothing, then go for a walk or read scripture. Keep your mind and body busy to avoid letting the evil one in.

Thank you that helps at least put in into perspective. Cause I just strongly dislike that I’ve failed twice.

You’re doing great, now that you’re quitting there’s a void you need to find something else you are interested in to fill in that void. It’s plain and simple keep yourself busy and be resilient and intentional About quitting. Hope this helps good luck
