Relapse ?

reset, not relapse

 

You edged. You failed.

 

In my opinion you're just lying to yourself... by edging the dopamine from the activity of looking at engaging images while touching yourself is being reinforced. therefore you're going back to your addiction. Those are facts, but you do what you want.

 

do not reset your day counter, you just was about to get back, be vigilant and try harder not to slip up, stay clear of images on Instagram, watching movies or other non-porn material that might get you back. You have not relapsed or failed your brain would want to trick you so don't fall into that trap. The day counter does not matter that much to be honest, you should take it as a lifestyle.

 

It's up to you how you define what is a relapse, a reset or a slip-up. Everyone's addiction is different as well as the goals. So you are the one, who has to define the exact goals and the rules of your recovery. Cut yourself some slack, but don't forget to be responsible for your actions as well. Good luck!

 

Slip

 

I agree with this

 

Not to put you down, but u are living in denial... Edging = fapping for your brain, it's simple as that. There is no other way around that, if u don't believe me watch some video's of people like Dr Joe Dispenza. You do whatever your want, but imo you need to be honest with yourself. Excuses sounds best to those who make them up => Yea bro I didn’t even have pre cum so, kinda bs if u ask me. Gl on your journey tho

 

This is a slip, but if you think of it as a relapse you’re likely to just fully relapse and binge. Trust me it always feels worse. Keep up the good work and keep yourself on track.
