    So I was on day 15 and in bed, feeling depressed and I opened up a porn website, I was maybe on it for 5 seconds before closing it, didnt watch a video and didn't masterbate. I closed it and cooled off, then after about 10 minutes of cooling off I went to instagram and looked at some sexually suggestive pictures, I was on instagram for maybe 1 minute before I clued into what I was doing was wrong and closed it. I didn't masturbated or even touch myself. Did I relapse?? I really hope not

    Definitely not a relapse, but you're headed down relapse road if you keep peeking at pictures or videos. Your brain is just trying to trick you into looking so it can get that dopamine rush it wants so badly. Don't do it at all; there is nothing good that can come from looking.

    Thanks guys. Yea I'm not gonna let that happen again, definitely took a step back in my recovery that night. Got a slight dopamine rush when I did it and that's a bad sign. So I'll just learn from that, wont restart my counter, and keep going.

    Nah you didn't relapse. Honestly, it is a huge testament to your willpower and commitment to NoFap knowing that you were able to catch yourself and redirect your path.

    Hi Entername.

    I agree with the others. Not a relapse.

    But that behavior is a clear sign that your brain knows how to trick you to get his dope ;)

    You know now that instagram and porn websites should be banned of your apps/bookmarks...

    Stay brave bro !

  7. No, but you peeked. Thats just as bad. If you keep doing it you won't fully recover.

    It happened and I learnt from it. Any suggestive material is unfollowed. I trust myself not to go looking for it.
    Thanks for the encouragement guys
