    Hi @CrimsnBlade wish you the best of luck. Have you stopped using the Freedom Fight? I only ask because it is you who introduced me to it, and they do have a very good video on whether relapse is really a relapse. Guessing you have already seen it and if so no worries. Respect for your decision :emoji_right_facing_fist:

    So a trigger prevention plan can be a two-pronged attack to stop your triggers from leading you to pmo. I try to stop my triggers before they happen by avoiding HALT (hunger, anger, lonely, tired). If I am already triggered, then I have a plan for that too, such as urge surfing, 20 pushups, read a book, etc. The main idea is to learn what your triggers are, and practice your plan as soon as the urge hits.
    Hope that helps. Good luck!
     
  6. This is actually a major step. You turned away, even if it may not feel like it. I've had many nights where I felt like I couldn't sleep unless I gave in, but losing sleep is worth the price of beating addiction.

    You turned away in the end and that's what counts. Temptations come, all we can do is pray and ride them out.
     
  7. Congratulations on 100!

    thank you!!
     
  12. Day 22 complete!

    @bob200 Reading your situation really hit me because I've been in that exact spot myself so many times. There's really nothing for it but to put your head down and keep pushing through. As long as you're still breathing, you can get better. Whenever you head towards the bathroom, put down whatever distraction you have with you. For me it's my phone, for others it may be a magazine or whatever. The cultural overstimulation kills us, but we need to get comfortable with just being super bored for those few minutes.

    Or something like Uncle John's Bathroom Reader to distract you while you are on the throne of porcelain. [​IMG]

    Thank you all for your great words!
    I think today I’m having one of the greatest wins in this battle. I did not binge after a relapse even once, but instead just raised my head and started a new streak.
    For the first time in basically 15 years, since I’ve got my first phone. today I want out of the house without my phone. This is the weirdest feeling in the world. But I know that the day after the relapse is the hardest day of them all and separating myself from my phone just makes sure I’ll win for at least today.

    So I think I can say… DAY 1, DONE!

    Day 5 in progress.
    I feel great. Not putting my focus on my streak but only on the things I have to and want to do in life.
    Not having any urges, but I know that the difficult days will come eventually. I will be prepared.
    Have a great day everyone!

    Day 72. Feeling some chaser effect today. I cannot get complacent. It is easy to loose sight of that initial spark that got me started on this journey. Constantly reminding myself why it is important to quit porn is helpful when I am struggling.
