Feeling better after relapsing

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 11, 2020.

  1. We all know suffering builds character but honestly after just one video of porn I feel like my old self again. I don’t see life as mundane anymore, it feels like the sun and the trees are smiling in bliss with me.

    However as not fun as it sounds, I will end up regretting this relapse.

    It’s part of your journey, if you feel the benefits outweigh the negatives enjoy.

    what was once an addiction turned into a small dose of dopamine.
     
  4. Make room for me, although it is definitely a mixed feeling. I was doing great in 2020, then the temptation hit hard again. I looked at some porn today, then masturbated a few minutes after turning it off (I even exercised). Who was I kidding? I may as well have jerked off while watching the porn. The relief is temporary, as you allude to. Currently feeling agitated, unfocused, and shaky. Blah!

    You were likely in withdrawal before the relapse and sometimes a relapse can reduce withdrawal symptoms, as your brain gets what it wants. It sounds like you are addicted, so i would not say that you have gone back to normal. The only way to get back to normal would be to go through the struggles and see what is on the otherside :)
