Initial relapses... Confidence breakdowns

Just remember that even though you've relapsed your average consumption per day, week, month is going down, and that overall is a win. Every time you fall back down you learn something new about what it takes to break free.

 

Find another way to give your brain the dopamine it craves. Instead of PMO'ing, do something like: working out, eating the foods you like, walking/jogging, completing your to do list.

 

Well, not really. If you do so you will just move to another addiction. The key is : your brain is addicted to porn but also to high amount of dopamine ! It is as if you wanted to eat chocolate instead of sugar ! However, it's important to stay busy to avoid the temptation of PMO.

 

True, but it's better. Also, a person can get addicted to anything tbh, if it makes them feel better.

 

Yes of course this is much better ! It is just that I don't want someone apply your first sentence with drugs
