I'm fuckin frustrated. Please help!

Take a few deep breaths. Maybe a cold shower. Go for a jog or walk. Any or all of the above. Pacing around stressed will ruin your streak.

 

Hi, all I can do is offer words ... and as we all know, each one of us has to take the steps. What helps me is to develop the inner witnesser, that part that observes the urges. See them as energy, mere energy, sensations, feelings, emotions. That's what they are. And if it helps imagine them as waves, in a way they are. They come in waves. Energy. And surf on those waves, don't fall off the board hehe. The fun is not to fall. Ride ON those waves, do not indulge in a story, stay out of any storyline that come along with those waves. No bargaining, no analyzing. Just observe. If need be go one hour at a time. 10 minutes. Eventually one day at a time. Not today. Today I will stay away from masturbating. Watch out of triggers, stay away from content on the internet or in magazines that start the addiction process. A strong, clear and trained, tamed mind helps. Build that. Hope my words are of some use to you. Stay strong.

 

You gotta fight. There is no other way. Even if you almost even do it, you have to force yourself out of it. That's the only way. Minimizing any sight of any triggering material is extremely helpful.

 

thats how it goes. the response time on here isnt fast enough when fighting urges or relapses with sponsors. unless u exchange personal info but i doubt anyone wants to do it. this is why i say this fight is ultimately a 1v1 youvsyou. dnt worrt though ur comback streak will be even greater than the last buddy. just keeo getting up when u get knocked down. thats how winning is done.

 

np mang, we got this son!!$

 

Have some self-compassion. You’re here and a part of a community and support. Respect be to the person that takes action in changing themselves for the better. You’re strong and will be better because of it. Don’t guilt and shame yourself too much or you’ll fall into the cycle:


Keep going, don’t quit, you will be successful. Remember...
