Only managed to last just over 5 days, Im realising that the urge to relapse is strongest when i am up late with nothing to do. This porn addiction has already started to take over my sex life, cant keep an erection without porn and im still 19, have been such an addict for the last few years that even after just five days of holding back im noticing a much larger "finish" determined to make sure this is the only relapse. Im not done trying.
You got this man. Don’t put to much focus on it being the last relapse or if you relapse again it might really impact your recovery. Focus on a day at a time, keep moving forward and remember that a relapse doesn’t send you back to day one in recovery. Progress comes through consistency. Keep charging ahead!
A quote that has helped me so much not relapse anymore, as I have relapsed many times and insist on not doing it again, is this “one more time will be many more times”. The “one more time won’t hurt” phenomenon is usually the breaker that causes relapses, but the truth is that it never is one more time and just leads you back to your addiction. Even if you do it just “one more time” it sets your streak to zero, and having a long streak is very impressive

Progress isn’t linear brother. Setbacks are bound to happen, if you fall, get back up and keep fighting. Don’t let shame and guilt trap you in the cycle. Embrace the freedom that Christ has given us and take it one day at a time
