Relapsed again fuck

Day 1

I can’t believe myself. I’m genuinely in awe of how disappointed I am. It’s like I literally have no self control and I don’t understand it? Why can’t I stop? It’s simple right? Just DONT watch corn, don’t touch yourself, don’t relapse. And yet I just did it again and I hate myself for it. Even with this app I can’t seem to stop. What do I do???

I echo Britton’s sentiments. I’d add this: a good first for you is to realize that this app isn’t design to ‘make’ you stop watching porn. It’s merely a resource to help you develop or refine an already-established system for denying yourself. Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of men can relate to the lie that this app or that program will help me stop—this app alone isn’t enough, but there are resources here that can help you and has helped others. So as you process your emotions post-relapse, ease up on yourself. Self-hate will only beget more self-justification when the next urge comes. Porn is often not about sex or dopaminergic releases—but it’s what porn represents to us that’s the issue. I have ran to porn when I’m grieved, alone, stressed, etc. I was looking for comfort and peace, and I trained my brain to run to porn when I have those moments. The more I understood the reality of my loneliness and grief, the more I realized that porn was a psuedo coping mechanism. It became my “counselor.” So as you fight this battle, bro, don’t just think about the lust of porn. Ask yourself this question: What is my soul/my heart yearning for really? What’s behind every scroll/click when on a porn site? I think the more we’re able to understand this, the more we can uproot porn from our life completely. But it’s a journey, bro. I’d be happy to talk more with you. HMU at 443-404-7601. Praying that Christ continues to enlighten our hearts to true pleasure and contentment, which is found in him.

Yeah you’re right. I just feel disappointed cause it’s been tried a thousand times and I somehow always come back to this

Don’t be hard on yourself. You obviously feel bad about it right now, but remember this feeling the next time you think about relapsing. It’s not a good feeling after you do it, so remember this. Remember how bad you felt and try other activities once you feel like relapsing.
