Urges get stronger during storms
Day 15

As I try to be free from this addiction I begin to realize that the temptation is very intense during sadness or emotional distress. It is very important to understand that because life is not easy and there Will be difficult times. The challenge is not succumb to porn, an easy but descructive form of escape.
I relate to this 1000%. My urges also hit me the hardest whenever I’m sad or in emotional distress. Sometimes even when I’m stressed in general. I sometimes even ponder on the idea of going out and hooking up with someone just to escape it but I know that it won’t help nor will it be fulfilling. We must remain strong and reflect on the shame/guilt & pain that comes with relapsing. Also reflect on our values and what we truly want from beating this. Keep going and may God be with you.
