Ive had a shit day. Not for any reason, just been a bum today. I could really use a dopamine bump but vises are in short supply. My relationship ended a few weeks ago and that really sucks.. i was scrolling through our saved chats on SC and realized she didn’t delete her nudes. I didn’t stay long but i did peak at a couple. It didn’t make me feel better, if anything worse bc shes still gone. I’ve been holding strong, Completely purged my phone otherwise. I don’t think it counts but i want to know others opinions…

Don't reset the timer, just get rid of the photos completely. that's then one less temptation you've identified and got rid of early into this journey. And like Jackson said, find a healthy form of dopamine to enjoy. create some healthy habits to promote you using that good dopamine source when you feel you need it. you got this dude

For the dopamine bump I would look up ways to get healthy dopamine cuz the quick fix shit like that usually negatively affects you right after

Nah I don’t think looking at nudes of a real person you knew counts as a relapse for real but if the relationship ended you should delete all that shit and lock in. It still might mess with the reward system in your brain all that complicated bullshit so I would probaly stay away from all types of of the closely related stuff at least for the first 30-90 days just so your brain starts rewriting itself. But for sure 100% no porn at all.
