    So I have gone 36 days without a pmo, I have been really strict with this and it's been a smooth ride, but around the 30 day mark my progress often seems to stall.
    Last night I was up in the night looking at some porn on my phone, watching all my old favourites, the battle was going on in my head as normal until I eventually fell asleep.
    Having watched the porn I am going to reset my porn watching statistic. But this time it wasn't a full pmo, I didn't go as deep into the relapse as I have in the past, I didn't actually use porn last night as a sexual outlet.
    The point I'm making here is that this is my best fail yet.
    So when you do fail, try to fail better than you've failed before.
    Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again, fail again, fail better.

  2. That is a good rule to live by.

    You may fail
    You may fail hard
    Just make sure you fail forward

    Thanks for your honest & encouraging post. There's real wisdom in what you say - when we do relapse, avoiding going on a binge, getting back on the horse as soon as possible etc.

    No amount of clean time, PMO-free, is wasted.

    Keep going & thanks for the encouragement!

    T22.
