    I'm trying to reboot from october 2014, i relapsed many times, my best was 23 day. Now i'm 8 days in and i know one of the reasons of my relapses is: my old forum's accounts still here (kind of fetish things).
    Today i decided to delete all of them. But while i was doing this (much faster as i could) i felt a dopamine rush caused by images and other things. Is this a relapse? Should i reset my counter? After that i felt so much better and proud of myself because i was so strong to delete all this crap and i took a cold shower

    Nice job deleting everything!! your counter is a personal thing, ultimately its your goal and your program.

    in my opinion, i don't think that counts as a relapse, its definitely a trigger though and should invoke some caution..

    btw what is the deal with cold showers??? I have never tried those but everyone here seems to swear by them....

    whats the logic behind taking a cold shower (i hate cold water, so im asking before i try it)

    I absolutely would not count this as a relapse. You just took another huge step in the right direction by deleting all this material. I imagine that you did get a dopamine rush from it, because of the nature of the material you were deleting and inherently exposed to in the process, but if you did not masturbate or linger for overly long, I'd say you're in the clear. Just don't let fantasy thoughts lead you astray! Hope this helps :)

    I take a cold shower every morning before breakfast. I started few month ago when outside was cold and it wasn't easy in the beginning but now warm outside and after a few month of cold shower i feel great. For me take a cold shower kill the urges, i'm more relaxed, wake me up faster in the morning, i less procrastinating, i recover faster from workout
