ok so something just happened and I’m scared that it made me relapse. I was in my bed and I was thinking about porn and I was also a little drowsy because I just woke up. So I got a hard erection and I precummed. There not a full blown but there’s still semen on my boxers. Now I’m scared that I relapsed and undoued all my progress of 40 days. Please tell me I didn’t relapse. I didn’t watch porn at all or masturbate
what I have read so far that does not count may be a little bit of a setback in terms of your brain getting used to lower dopamine levels and it is a sign of progression if not mistaken.
I think the erection is not a problem. The problem is: thinking about porn. What do you do when you think about it? There exactly is the root of the problem. Your thoughts. And there the batthe has to be fought. As a christian I become a warrior in my own head. The bible has teached me this (1 Korinthiers 5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; A very effective way to become free from all those intrusive images and thoughts. Allthought it needs some practice.
That doesn't count as a relapse. Keep it simple - no 'O' with your hand on the gear stick; no relapse.
