    I have been relapsing for the past week and its really frustrating me. I'm trying to get back on my feet and the thing is I have enough experience with this addiction by now to know what to do. But I keep giving in. I had two long streaks this year 30 days and 28 days, so now I'm just trying to get back to that and the thing is I have hobbies that I'm into, but somehow I always find myself thinking about porn, whenever I'm engaging in the hobby. I think imma just have to come with a new game plan. But the good thing is that I'm making real changes in my life besides trying to get rid of porn. One change is that I'm growing dreads and the other is that I have cut back on meats and sweets, which changed my energy completely, now I don't have any anxiety at all when I'm around people. I notice eating sweets and meats maded me more negative especially after a relapse. But im just glad that I'm making changes in my life, but this addiction had to go, I'm tired of dealing with this, I know I'm still young and all but I just don't want to deal with this anymore.

    It is encouraging to know that you are still wanting to get rid of this problem. How many times will mess up before we finally clear up? Who knows? Maybe the last week has been bad, but this year you have done pretty well by my reckoning. The two streaks were highlights, but not the whole story. You have way more clean days than unclean days this year so far. Just compare that to the first few months of the previous year - you are heading in the right direction. Your experience will enable you to increase that ratio even more. It is good that you are taking other factors into account. I feel frustrated, too, at the moment. But we have to keep trying and, in time, we will be finally free from this poison. :rolleyes:

    I appreciate your words of encouragement man. Like I said man im trying to get back to the steaks I had before and I have been down this road plenty of times so I should know what to do by now. But I won't give up. I will keep fighting. I will succeed

    I've found that sometimes I can dwell too long on being upset about having a though I didn't want to have, and that means I end up continuing to think about it, instead of moving on. Perhaps try some methods of distracting yourself/derailing the problematic line of thinking. Do math problems in your head or out loud? Sing a song? Rattle off batting orders from major league teams? Quote Shakespeare? Contemplate the causes of the decline of the Roman Empire? Insist over and over again that Han shot first? Think about what current species of wild animals might evolve into in 1,000,000 years?
