Before I got this app, I was going on 3 weeks clean. Which was weird, I never went out of my way to quit. I think it was a mixture of finals season stress and a girl. Was surprised in myself, but just like that I relapsed on Monday. Two days of continued relapsing followed, and here I am. Just kind of crazy how things work out.
Take back the control. You let yourself down by letting your focus slip. Why do you want to quit? Focus on that reason, or maybe even come up with a more compelling reason. The hardest part isn’t quitting porn. The hardest part is healing the parts of the mind using porn to cope. Focus on philosophy and psychology and you’ll start to unravel your own mind. Karl Jung is a great psychologist/philosopher to read. He encourages Shadow Work, which in my opinion is the key to overcoming addiction.
