Relapsed at day 84 is my reboot for nothing or will I recover quick

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by My Best self, Jul 19, 2020.

  1. Relapsed just now sadly I’m recovering from pied but just relapsed to porn it was short I did not even jerk it but it is still a relapse none the less will my reboot take less then it did when I started? I’m going to be going on a long period of dopamine detoxing and fasting when I can I have been getting healthy but I just relapsed to porn I will not do this again I am so foolish any help is welcomed
     
  2. Is it actual porn or a trigger(which you know) that made you relapse? I am asking this out of curiosity.
     
  3. Yeah I relapsed to porn
     
  4. Depends on how you relapsed.
    Did you finish the deed within 5-10 minutes? Or did you binge for hours, hunting scenes and shooting dopamine up your old addicted brain pathways for hours?

    If it's the latter, I am afraid you are - at best - back to zero. Studies have shown that nothing is more damaging to recovery than abstaining and then binging for hours.

    If, however, you got over it within a few minutes and just came, chances are, you will retain a lot of the benefits.
     
  5. I think I went back to day 0 I’m going to dopamine detox this time the whole time
     
  6. At first it was short but then came the chaser
     
  7. It seems I did not lose all my progress Witch is good but I’m going to try even harder this time

    Can say from relapsing after 100 days if you cut it out relatively quickly you would be surprised how fast you can recover. Was only a few days for me.
     
  9. 84:1 is an amazing ratio. If you get right back on the path you’ll recover quickly brother

    If this is your best streak, then you have really tried. progress is measured by the consistency in effort over time

    Even if you start from day 0 , you are not where you used to be, celebrate your milestone bro

    @My Best self You’re fine!!!! Don’t beat yourself, 84 days is amazing progress, and you’re not gonna lose your benefits, by relapsing once. That’s like going on a diet and losing 80 pounds are you going to gain all that back if you pig out?? Absolutely not!! You might slightly gain a few pounds back, but it’s not something you can’t bounce back from. Cheer up!!
