Relapsed, but I think it's ok.

    So, I was on 11 days last night without MO. I had a lot on my mind and couldn't sleep. I had so many urges and I was fighting them for a few hours. I couldn't take a cold shower because I live with my parents and didn't want to wake them up. I was looking through instagram and saw a photo of a cute girl but didn't click on her account to browse it, then I ended up browsing it intentionally. I did so for about two seconds, then I realized what I did and felt guilty about it. I don't know if I was being too hard on myself or what, but eventually I MO'd. No porn, and I saw that I think it's ok because I did go 11 days, I didn't watch porn and I don't plan on following up last night's yank with another. I'm just going to keep seeing how far I can go. I feel like there has been a lot of growth in the time I've been doing this, but I think maybe I also need to remember that I'm not perfect. Hope this post is useful. Thanks for listening.

    Yeah man, I'm with you. The first time I broke a long streak of 100+ days was while browsing instagram. It really sucks. It's all over the place.

    You need to make deep changes in your routine so you're not tempted by it, or if you're tempted, you have better things to do.

    Hope that helps.

    It does, thanks. Perhaps I could make more an effort to unwind at night and turn the cell phone off.
     
  4. It's okay to fail. It's not been for nothing. Those 11 days have taught you to live without porn. That is a victory. All the best this time round. Hope you do well. Keep us posted.

    First of all, you still didn't look at porn, so that is good too.

    More importantly, all that matters is right now. The past can't be changed. Good luck!
