How long did it take y’all to feel tempted to relapse?

Day 3

Hey guys. I’m on day 3, and I haven’t had any major temptations to look at porn during my free time so far. I still feel concerned that sooner or later, that voice in the back of my mind will become too prominent, and I might lose all the progress I’ve made so far. I’m a very black-and-white thinker, and I don’t know if there’s a rough timetable for when people usually go back to porn after abstinence. It’s just been eating at me, and I really don’t want to go back. What was it like for you all?

It depends a lot on how I’m feeling and if I slept well or ate right. Take care of yourself and you will not only have better resolve and clearer thought, but that care for yourself and your relationship with God will keep you too preoccupied to think long on it. Laugh at the demons. They hate it.

For me, temptation is high for the first day or two after a relapse. Then it drops off pretty good for a few days, picks back up around a week, and if you keep fighting it drops again for a while.
