    I’m don’t usually reach out, but your support would help a lot .

    I quit pmo for 11 days and I relapsed one week ago exactly. My head was in the right place and I started to really feel the benefits again. From there, I binged for a few more days, until Sunday April 25th. I happened to get really sick (maybe just a seasonal cough) and that helped force me out...

    Be kind to yourself.

    This is so fucking important and I have failed so many times because I didn't treat myself well. Our addiction isn't shameful, it's not something to hide or feel bad about. This will only hinder your progress and make you withdraw yourself from other people. I recently started seeing a therapist...

    I came so close :( is this a relapse? Or trigger testing

    I am really afraid that what I did was relapse behavior. So about 7-8 minutes ago I had this HUGE urge that caused me to get a boner.
