Yup, boredom has been my crux many a time for my relapse. They all start the same way. I watch a video that is a trigger for me, but its not porn, so i talk myself into thinking its ok. I find it amazing how i can be in such denial of my addiction. So many times i've talked myself into watching a trigger video because i found a way to convince myself its ok to watch this one video.

I've been there numerous times. I've felt pathetic for being so stupid. The best thing we can do is learn from our mistakes and grow from it.

1) Note your triggers and try to avoid them in the future
2) Make small tangible goals - Sure a year sounds great, but it also seems so far away. You need mini-victories to keep moving foward
3) Stay busy, this is the simplest but also the hardest one to do. Find some hobbies to take up all your spare time. Down time is dangerous time.
