Trying to move forward into the new year.

I am relatively new here and it's hopeful to see such a vast community of people supporting one another. I don't know how long I've had a porn addicition, but what I can say is that I noticed it about a year ago. But I have shown signs prior to that such as viewing more and more hardcore porn. I have felt over the last year (2022) I have lost who I am as a person. Every time I would go on a streak I would relapse, my longest streak being 13-14 days I can't remember. Right before the new year I had to get emergency surgery due to certain complications (I'm okay). Due to me being out of commission I haven't really tried touching myself until last night. I had a really big urge and pulled some stuff up and in the middle of the session I thought about what I was doing and stopped, and just went to bed. I felt gross but also empowered since I didn't finish and I had the strength to stop myself. Would last night count as a relapse? If it isn't then my streak would be around 12 days right now and I plan to continue going no matter the urges. I want to make 2023 an impactful year for my life and move forward as a person.

 

Thank you so much for this.

 

Thank you my man, that was a great response.
