I had a terrible relapse today. Unfortunately I know the reason. It's boredom. I have a lot to do throughout my day but I still have like 15 minutes where I have nothing to do and feel so in need for dopamine and my brain pops up porn scenes in order to let me get tempted and relapse. What should I do? I seriously started to lose faith.
Hi man. You mentioned your trigger is boredom. Great that you already know. Relapses and resets are a part of the recovery progress. No addict ever quit cold turkey on their first attempt. As long as you learn and tighten up your habits the relapses will get further and further apart. There will come a turning point...it is always darkest before dawn.
Hey man, so today I had a relapse too. And I don´t now what to say man. Life goes on. It´s not the end of the world. But ask yourself this. Do you want wake up in 5 years from now and life the same life with the same struggles? Or do you want to improve? You will reach you goal one day but just if you don´t give up.
