I feel myself slipping

Hey all, I’ve been doing better than I use to. I usually only do it once a week, but recently made it to 11 days but relapsed. Then I made it to 5 and relapsed last night, and then tonight again. I feel like I’m losing any progress I’ve made and I’m regressing. I’m struggling so bad rn, bros. I have a loving girlfriend who I wanna be better for. She knows that I occasionally watch it but I’ve told her about this app and how I wanna quit it all together and she is supportive and doesn’t look down on me for it, but I hate myself for it. And rn, I’m having conflicting feelings about her and I can’t tell if it’s cuz I’m genuinely loosing feelings or if it’s due to my gooner brain returning and searching for “better” options, which causes me to think with the wrong head. I would never cheat on my gf and I haven’t done anything of the sorts or started talking to other women, but I find myself comparing them unintentionally and I hate it. What I have is great, and I hate my brain is so fucked it’s searching for more and more. Please help me in anyway u guys can/know how, and please leave advice. Thank you

One day a week is great, but don’t kid yourself. You need to stop completely or you will always be a slave to the porn monster. You need to realize that the chain needs to be broken. It doesn’t matter if you go a week or a month or a year. The moment you relapse is the moment you’ve been enslaved once again.

Don’t beat yourself up too much. We are human. Imperfection is an essential part of our condition. To be human means to make mistakes. It means to struggle. It means to slip up. Reducing your usage at all is a HUGE step towards quitting entirely. A lot of people do it every single day, multiple times a day. This sort of thing takes practice! You should be proud of yourself that you made it this far! Stay strong man, come back to this app whenever you feel tempted, or go outside and sprint until exhaustion if you can, lol.

I was in the same situation as you word for word a while ago , it does get better if you focus on the love you have and the realness of your relationship
