Flashes of relapse
I’m 28 years old, starting day 6, and recently I’ve been having lots of flashes in my memory of my last relapse. The pictures are easy to recall and I try to remind myself that’s just my brain rewiring itself, going through my “brain files” seeing what to keep and what to toss. I know this is the normal process for my brain to detox. It’s just annoying that during the day i won’t be thinking of my addiction at all, nor see anything sexualized, but there are just flashes of my memory that’s triggering me right now. I am grateful for this app, even if I’m brand new to it. I like that i can journal and see my reasons “why” to quit. I do go to a support group as well but I’m the kind of person that likes to “see” the progress happen. The “brain rewiring” progress bar is a great reminder. And i have a second app that’s a widget to count down to the next day. All reminders in my face to show I’m making progress. I pray to God that i finally kick this addiction after 7 years (when i started masturbating; my addiction really started when i was 11/12 years old)
Thanks Asher. I’ll be praying for you too.
