51/90 Everyone, I'd say the #1 thing that has prevented me from relapsing is going to bed straight after I'm finished for the day. DO NOT use your phone at night; keep it far away from you.
Day 69. Let me just say it. I've been peeking recently. I didn't outright search for porn, but my mind made me type related keywords, so that erotic stuff would appear in the search results. I know this is no excuse. They may call it different names but anything erotic that gives a dopamine rush is basically porn. I didn't masturbate but spent a solid 10 minutes looking on youtube. So did I relapse? Anyway, let's keep going on this journey. Any advice for me?
Can you please tell me how did you blocked porn at home? I would like to do the same thing. Actualy i use a safe browser on my phone plus a blocker up, but my security system still weak. can you tell please which app you use? Day 4, I do not feel confident I feel that i'm way behind others in life, i see others more successful than me. Feeling that way makes me regret some missed opportunities in personal and social life. For example recently i wanted very badly to talk to a girl after 1 year. In the end i refrained because chasing her wont do me any good, ill look creepy. I feel that way when im depressed, so yeah i shall feel better soon.
You did not relapse, though do not peek again. Good luck. I advise you blocking porn access completely, which im trying to do too.
No its not a relapse or not even a slip. But its good way to fail. It made me fail a lot of times especially in the first weeks
I use Adguard and i let my brother to block the acess to perental control with a password that i will never guess. But for the phone just the iphone parental control in setting , with the same thing with the password. And i can relate to your problem … i am in the dating apps and its not working for me … and recently i destroyed opportunitie with some girl i liked and it cause me to return to porn and failed after 93 days. One thing i know even after so long. pmo still ambush me in every turn. But i am not so upset on the failure, i just have so much rage and anger in the last few days , any advices?
Day 3 no porn. Allowing masturbation to fantasies of real life previous partners only. I know this isn't hard mode but I deem porn to be my biggest problem
For me any artificial stimulation that releases dopamine counts as a relapse. If it was by accident I wouldn't count it but if I search it intentionally I would count it as a relapse since the negative habit is being reinforced.
