    Well, I made it to 40 something days. I will be completely honest. I did watch porn a handful of times during the lapse of the 40 days. It was hard to say the very least. In the beginning I was unable to go over 10 days without masturbation. It was like my body and mind both worked against me. My mind would reminisce about videos I had seen. I tried to occupy myself with other things. I would read books, play video games, spend more time with my wife and son. It helped. I was able to reach the 40 day mark without masturbating but yesterday, yesterday I finally relapsed. My own fault. I cannot believe what that i wasted all those days of success over a couple minutes of pleasure. I felt really disappointed. Judge me all you want. I am a person that was saved and baptized in Jesus’s name. I’ve failed numerous amounts of times. Each time asking, begging, crying inside for forgiveness. I’m tired of living 2 lives. Although, I did confess to my wife a year or so ago. She’s been getting the vibe from me that I’m hurting/struggling again. I’m afraid she’ll find out and leave me. Every time she brings up the topic I laugh it off and play it as if it’s really nothing, but, it is. The urge visits me atleast once a week. Does anyone else have any tips on what to do? I wouldn’t consider myself an extreme addict but why wait till that point. I completely want to stop watching porn. Even if it’s once a week or once a month. I’ve been doing this on and off since I was 13 or 14 yrs old. I’ve tried to install blockers on my cell but I really want to do this on my own with Gods help. Life doesn’t have blockers for us. We have to resist on our own. The doors to strip club, to a prostitution house, a drug house are always open. I feel that it’s things we should fight alone.

    Hello Born2win,
    1. Remember that any report of relapse should be poseted on Reset and Relapse Reports section. This is to help the moderators and other users a sense of a more organized plataform, so we can help each other more.
    2. Don´t be to hard on yourself, we are not alone. As I read on the "getting started guide", it´s perfectly normal to relapse when rebooting for the first times. I am really amateur on this, but I can say that I advice you to not get too caught up on the "failure" but try to read more from the experts on this website, so you have a larger toolbox when you urge to PM, or PMO!!! Good luck... God/life is with you.
