So, this post, plus your username, plus your profile pic... makes me have to ask... How many times have you seen Trainspotting? Choose life my brother
Day 0/90 Total clean days - 21 Total PMO - 10 Total P - 2 Total hours remaining - 2160 I relapsed. I watched porn for some time hold on to my urges for 12 hrs and then did a PMO. Taking a one look at porn can be hard to maintain nofap streak. New streak from today.
Yeah every time i tried to quit porn, even teasing myself for a little while with a cheeky peek at some porn made me relapse. If not right there, then later on.
Thanks for asking!! It does suck but I learned a bit more this time. Last time I relapsed because I spent a week not caring for my physical body very well, which eventually built up anxiety which overwhelmed me into a relapse. THIS time I spent a week not caring for my EMOTIONAL self very well and it built up into an even worse relapse. I have some very stressful situations at work that are being caused by some very unhealthy interpersonal dynamics (unfortunately it's coming from the senior executives, so handling it is tricky!). I was getting very hurt personally and also watched other people I know getting hurt (which is tough for me because I am a strongly empathetic person). I won't get into the details of the struggles there and I do have a course I'm on towards resolving them. So, the good news is that all my healthy habits for keeping my body in line are still in place (waking up early each day, getting lots of exercise, eating healthy, cold showers, etc.). That really helped and I believe it will continue to help. So, my next challenge is to include habits in my daily routine that help me keep my emotional self healthy. I need to actively *feel* my emotions and either find expression for them or let them pass. I use the word "actively" because my automatic response to deep hurt is to stuff it down....it really happens without me even thinking about it. So, I need to *actively* reach to be in touch with how I feel each day and make sure things aren't piling up in there waiting to blow. I'm thinking of taking up some breathing practice, and perhaps some mindfulness or meditation. Anyone have any other suggestions for habits that help bring deeper emotions up to the surface for feeling and processing?
