How do I stop relapsing? It’s hard to stop and I feel like this is having control over me, what should I do?
I feel exactly the same.....I've been relapsing for 14 months. I am totally sick of it. I am now taking the drastic move to block all porn websites !!!!!!
Guys porn isn't ur problem . Ur problems run deeper than that . If u don't watch porn you will be doing something worse.
I don't know what your habit is like or what times of the day that you usually hit the p sites. Mine habit was typically when I woke up in the morning and after work. I've been working replacing the habit with more positive habits. When I wake up in the morning, I typically visit this site and then meditate for ten to twenty minutes. As for the after work habit, I've taken up reading because it cuts down my screen time. If you feel that you are relapsing because you find the challenges too difficult, start with the smaller challenges. Do the three day challenge and once you reach that goal, reset. Don't look at porn, just jerk a load because you haven't for three days. Then hit the seven day challenge, reach that goal and reset. Don't look at porn and just jerk a load. That's what I've been doing. Under this method, I haven't looked at porn for eleven days. Sure, it is not a great success story but I completed the seven day challenge and it has been eleven days since I've looked at porn.
