It’s my second day on here i did good yesterday and didn’t relapse. But I relapsed today. I don’t know if I was feeling to optimistic and that sacrificed me being realistic and aware I could still be tempted at any time. Or if I just didn’t care and need a “fix” if you’d say. Could use some encouragement moving forward. And maybe some advice on how to deal with those temptations when they come.
Well hey man you made one day with out it and is still a small victory in a way. Just try to find healthier ways to distract yourself when you get tempted ( go on a walk, listen to music, etc.) Also just keep reminding yourself deep down that quitting this stuff is for the better. Expect relapses cause we aren’t perfect and done be so hard and n yourself. You got this app therefore you are taking action which is a great thing.
don’t beat urself up about relapsing bro it’s very common especially with addictions like porn. whenever you do get the urge to look at porn and/or masturbate just speak out loud and remind yourself it’s an urge and you can beat it. speaking it aloud helps reinforce it. aswell as this when the urge comes get up and go outside, or just put urself in an environment where u can’t relapse, anything like walking down your road, sitting with friends or family being in the garden stuff like that

remember TEMPtations are only TEMPORARY. even sitting with the temptation and just fighting it til it goes is a good sign, it’s a small victory, keep stacking those small victories and you’ll start to achieve bigger ones
