    Last year, after a strike of 66 days, I relapsed, and I didn't even remember why or how. Seems that 66 days weren't enough for me : although I've significantly reduced the times I fap weekly, the type of videos that I watch haven't changed : taboo stuff.
    I searched information about my condition, and I discovered that my dopamine receptors are fucked, and probably also my prefrontal cortex has changed, since it is the center of all moral restrictions and good social behaviours, and in order to watch taboo stuff and get that dopamine, it needed to be changed.
    I was ( I'm still) scared, but I learned about the brain's plasticity and I know that that's a reversible process.
    So here I am again.
    Having a community really helped me during the 66 days strike, and now I've come back because I need support to go through this again, and this time it won't be 66 days, or 90, but it may took several months or maybe a year to rewire my brain. I undestrand that my condition is more serious than I thought.
    What I did last year wasn't useless, indeed...I learned how to avoid triggers, but I also understand that stop watching porn it's not enough : I need to replace those hours with other activities, I need to give my brain other reasons to release dopamine ;)
    "Once more into the fray...into the last good fight I'll ever know.
    Live , and die on this day
    Live
    and die
    on this day"
    I'll do it...we'll do it.
