as the title says,i just relapsed.. It was 10 days actually more than i aimed for but still..i want more. I know everyone feels like that and all after a relapse... but i just want to say i feel terrible,really.. I really hope my next streak will be better. Would like some encouragements..it always makes me feel a little better.
I personally think a relapse is not a big issue. Yeah everyone feels bad, i even get a little depressed but that goes away in a few days. It is just a learning experience. Think about the days you went with out pmo. If you were not trying to abstain you would have pmo every single day you were free. Think about what you accomplished not the failures.
Try doing this one bro. It's called EMDR. I just do the tapping and the eye movements whenever I feel the urge. After I discovered this, I haven't relapsed ever since. Cheer up! You're strong that you stayed clean for 10 days. Just bounce back even stronger! Best wishes. we can do this!
Hey I'm in a similar boat just relapsed yesterday so I say this just as much to me as to you. There is no magic solution to stopping PMO. Going into this know that you will slip up. The important thing is to get back up right away. The important thing is to keep moving. Struggling with PMO did not happen overnight and neither will it's recovery, but it will happen. Celebrate the successes, learn from the setbacks, and keep moving. A good quote that I keep coming across from the NoFap App is: "If you are going through hell...keep going!" -Winston Churchhill. It sucks to relapse, but it's worse if we get stuck there. The community is here for you and we've all been there.
Emphasize not getting stuck on the negative thought "Oh well I'm back at 0, might as well stay here for awhile." Get back up right away man! What can you learn from this set back? Change your focus and make this a process you can grow from.
Maybe try baby steps, I know not everyone will agree with me, but why not think 'Hey, I've done 10, I'll try 15 this time'. It may seem a little less difficult, plus when you get to 15 you may be able to extend it further, as you will feel elated at reaching 15, and this may motivate you to continue.
just try and keep going man. I understand exactly how you feel, and I'm sure all of us on this forum do as well. Just remember this, there will ALWAYS be sunshine after the rain. No matter how big or long a storm is just remember that the beautiful sunshine will follow right after it.
Well yes you have fallen but don't give up. You have another chance and have the ability to overcome this addiction. if you have not done so install a filter to the internet to block out porn. If you feel very tempted do something else and that involves shutting down the internet. Also get an accountability partner as well if you do not have one.
