Failed

Day 0

I was doing so good and was going on day 34, then after the last couple days I was starting to slip up more and more till now. I didn’t think the regret was going to hit me like this but it feels so deep it almost hurts. And now I’m left with the question of why did I let myself slip up and lead me to this moment. What hurts more is knowing that you could have held back just a little longer and you wish that you could go back in time but that isn’t the case here. I know I can get such a high streak but it’s the waiting that kills me, now looking back at the streak I just had, 34 days is a lot to recover again. I genuinely want this to have an end but by the 3rd week, my mind forgets the guilt and that’s my biggest enemy at the moment. I wish the guilt could stay in me to keep driving me and propelling me forward. We are back to day 1 and on a real note, it’s weighing me down.

You didn’t fail, you stumbled. You hit 34 already. Hit it again and push further.

Feeling guilty for a long period is not going to help you recover. What you should do is realize that BECAUSE you were able to go 34 days, you will be able to do it again. That’s 34 days you didn’t use porn, that’s very good. Just keep going and use this as motivation to get even further the next time. Relapsing isn’t the end of the world, it’s just a part of the process. Good work and good luck!
