Day One Relapsed. Feel Disgusting.

I passed three tips on to you just the other day. Put them into action, today and every single day. Don’t expect instant results. Patience and perseverance are your friends.

 

It sounds like you're being really hard and unforgiving with yourself. I'm not saying that should never be the case, but think about this whole addiction the next time you relapse, and talk to yourself the way you would talk to someone else who relapsed the exact way you did.

Or even better, do what I did and write a letter to yourself for the next time you slip. Make it honest and exactly what you would say to someone else.

Just a thought.

Drop me a line if you ha e any questions at all, my friend.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you thought about joining an SA group or getting into some CSAT therapy at all?

 

Well SA gives you access to a lot of people who struggle with an addiction to lust. You can call them when you're having trouble with triggers and temptations. In the meetings, you all share a little bit about your journey and how you ended up where you're currently at. It may not sound very helpful, or it.may sound like something you're way to fearful, or for whatever reason, hesitant to go check out, but I'm telling you man, from one addict to another, if you go and apply yourself, you'll never regret it. It's easily one of the best decisions I ever made for myself.

Therapy helps you to figure out where this addiction came from and how it.manifestes itself. You'll learn ways to deal better with your addiction and life in general.

Trust me friend, they're both absolutely worth it!

 

I also feel really bad, similar to when I have relapsed, which happened today. I was 3 months in not watching and then I went back and now it felt really bad. Are you trying to give up porn, give up masturbation or both?

 

I don;t know if you asked this to someone particular or anyone in general, but I haven't watched porn, aside from a homemade video friend sent me in over a year. I'm currently trying to kick the habit of masturbation. The reason i began this journey was being close to impotent with my fiance; and after years finding out it was mental and not physical. That was MY motivation to be able to enjoy good sex with her.
