    I'm having a constant loop of the same porn scenes running through my mind. It was the last thing I relapsed to. How do you all handle having invasive thoughts of porn?

    I've tried meditating, allowing the thought to pass, and trying to think of something else.

    Sometimes I actually don't fight the scene. I say, "you may be in my head but I'm not going back for a repeat visit no matter how much you shout at me". So I simply accept the thoughts instead of playing tug-of-war with them and getting exhausted. Consider googling the video "Passengers on the Bus"--an example of acceptance and commitment therapy. Sometimes the passengers on my bus can be noisy fantasy/memories. But they don't get to choose my destination unless I allow them. They get less noisy over time.

    Repeating scenes in mind is overdue really problematic.

    Really needs strong solutions .
