I became aware of my addiction and my willingness to change four days ago. Yesterday, first relapse so I call this great community! You guys are awesome! First day: 1/7! COME ON !!!
Day 6,first tougher urges started to kick in,but I will get through it,I only started my journey and there is no point in giving up.Be strong and safe brothers,I know we are all gonna make it!
Don't listen to it my friend,we both know whats on the other side,when you have urge to relapse just think how are you gonna feel once you do so,your brain is trying to trick you for some short term dopamine boost but you have to stay strong and avoid all temptations.If you think you will relapse go and do cold shower without your phone or do something like that to get rid of those thoughts.Keep it up brother,you can absolutely do it!
great You got dis @mt_ninja! As @Ineedhelpasap said - when that urge comes on, keep yourself occupied with something else. Like, immediately. For me it's a matter of standing up and walking away from the computer, or putting the phone down.
Instead of acting out today, I went to an online Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meeting. Feeling much safer now.
