I was going strong for a couple of weeks, but I was suddenly overwhelmed with sexual thoughts and urges and ended up relapsing. I feel kinda bad cause I gave in to my urges and I feel like my willpower isn’t strong enough. It’s difficult to control the urges, but I keep telling myself I don’t want this power to control me. I’ll restart from today and work my way to where I was before.
It tough man there is no doubt, if you fail try and try again. Two things I would say, 1. Have you removed all triggers from your environment? And 2. What do you think is behind why you reach for porn? Is it boredom, is it loneliness, is it lack of self care, is it stress? All these things can be addressed in a more healthy way than using porn. Your motivation and willpower will eventually fade off and that’s when you rely on changes you have put in place to carry you through.
