    Hey there!

    I am quite confused, I was watching some erotic pictures for about 10 minutes and after I realised that I had some pre-cum. I know that I should be watching at this.
    I have been 4 weeks without porn and MO once the same day.
    Does this count as a relapse or a reset?
    The good thing is that I dont have the urge to watch porn or to masturbate tho.
    Please let me knwo what you think :)

    Thanks JJackson, I wont do it anymore and even deleted dating apps as some pictures can be quite hot. I think that the counter is a good way to keep focused and motivated. My last relapse was after 80 days and I was very disapointed as I binged on and off for a week.
    So this time, I keep focus and cut out all possible trigers to a relapse.
    Thanks for your reply and your link

    It can be good for motivation but the amount of people I've seen relapse on a high numbered then continue to relapse over and over because they have that mentality of being back to day 1 is heartbreaking. Especially when its something like this where its barley a relapse but then the person resets the counter and then actually does fully relapse because of how demoralizing it is to think all progress is lost. Been there myself as well.
