3 day streak gone down the drain. No one of my close relatives can relate, no one to talk to. Stayed up from 2 to 6am trying not to relapse and still did it :| it’s not even that I can’t do it but I feel like there’s just not enough to make me stop. How tf do I fix ts
You’ve got a big community here to support you. Have you sat down and really considered why you want to stop? Is it because you “should” or because you want to? Each relapse is a chance to learn, so get curious. Why this time, what made it hard, how did you approach it? Did you try to fight it and run out of willpower, did you acknowledge it and let the urge just run out of steam on its own? I found for me, fighting the urge just makes it stronger. If instead I call it what it is, even out loud sometimes, “this is an urge to view porn,” it takes all the power away. A relapse is frustrating, but it’s a moment to reflect on your own “why.”
