    First time I've made it to 21 days in a couple of years. Relapsed yesterday, I edged a little in between but managed to stop myself. But went all the way yesterday, feeling pretty depressed. I thought I was in control, but no. Should I reset my counter to day 1? I only relapsed once. Could do with some advice, feeling very down.

    Congratulations! 21 days is no small feat, I haven't made it that far since probably 2016. Unfortunately, it is still a relapse from my understanding However, you should still keep a lot of the benefits provided you don't "chase". I just relapsed myself and am approaching Day 2. Be well!

    Thanks for the kind words. I apreciate it. I feel bad about resetting counter but needs to be done. Have any of you ever had that feeling when watching porn or mastrabating like you aren't doing it. Kinda like watching someone else? I always have that when the urges get really strong.

    Resetting the counter is the right thing to do. I think what you're referring to is a mentality that we find ourselves in when looking at porn. I refer to it as "the hunter's mentality" and have written about it here. I think you may find it helpful! Stay strong.

    I always feel strong urges. I sometimes just want to bang my head coz i feel some pain that i don't know how to end aside from watching and masturbating. I feel you.

    Don't think that much about the counter, just don't indulge or binge-watch again and you will be through, 21 days is a great feat.
