Need to get my confidence back

    One of the things the helps me most during a reboot is being confident in myself and not feeling like i need an outlet like PMO. When I first went to my counselor one thing that really stood out for me, after I told him everything, he told me he could tell that I was a good person. and that small statement really got me started in the right direction and i stopped being down on myself so much for this addiction.
    Fast forward a couple months and being active in NoFap and rebooting challenges, I just finished the 14 day challenge. I felt more proud of myself during those 14 days than I have in as long as i can remember. And everyday I grew more confident that I had control over this situation. Well today is day 15 and I relapsed. I kind of planned on it, I didnt think it would be a big deal because I want to start fresh when I do a 21 day challenge, but now I already have given in twice today. I'm kinda scared I just fell back into the pattern I worked so hard to avoid. How can I get myself back to the mental state I was in a couple days ago and avoid going back to my ways of the past?

    2 weeks is very good. It shows that you can have self-control. Confidence & strength -- in all areas -- goes up
    about 1% daily.

    I like this NoFap reddit link:

    You literally don't have to watch porn ever again. (self.NoFap)
    submitted 2 years ago by BazookaMorpheus88 Days

    "There's no magical force that porn possesses that keeps making you fail. It's all you. You can decide to quit forever whenever you want. Today could be that day you never watch porn again, or maybe some other day. The point is: The choice is 100% your own. YOU have the power to quit NOW, and live the rest of your life free FOREVER. All you have to do is make that decision."

    The pain of self discipline (4) is less than the pain of regret (8).

    Maybe you can call it a "21 Day (plus) Challenge"? That way you won't have to reset.

    first of all congratulations on the 15 days. now you ask yourself what has porn done to you, how did it change you, what got better in those 15 days. question yourself if its worth it throwing away your life or if you want to do the no PMO thing and start all over for good. cheers and good luck.
