    So recently as i was going through my instagram i somehow ended up looking on some women cleavages on bikini for about a minute before i close the tab.I DIDNT masturbate or touch myself but i definitely got a bit aroused...should i reset my counter?

    Nope

    Learn from your mistake, stay away from the edge so you don't fall off.
     
  3. Just keep moving forward and use that as a reminder to stay away from it.

    @JJackson very intresting post altough i have the same mindset like you and i know that reset means more strong next time rather than "i lost progress" or something like that...i just wanted to know what actions are considered enough to reset so i can be more self aware next time and if try to browse some "naughty" things i want to remember that if i do it i will fail today.

    I don't really care to be a part of that "reset" mindset because damn near everything will be considered a reset by someone. I ran into someone last week who doesn't touch his dick to piss and considered it a reset when it rubbed against his pants as he was putting it away. Stupid right?

    It just doesn't really matter, all I care about is today. Doesn't matter if I've been clean for months or only days, the only thing I focus on is the current day. There's nothing to gain from counting like that. The closest thing to that I do is putting X's and check marks on a calender.

    Don't think too much about "whats a reset" and just worry about what you're doing. Sure staring at some hot chick isn't porn but is it helping your recovery? No, so just try to avoid it. Same goes for anything. Sure fantasizing isn't the same as watching porn but again, is it helping? No, its just feeding those same neural pathways.

    But it's also important not to be too extreme and think its the biggest craziest thing in the world if you do slip up and catch yourself fantasizing or something. Just acknowledge what happened, move on and try to prevent it. No need to get caught up on shit for no reason.

    Thats just my view on it though, do whatever you think is right. Good luck either way!
