Hanging on by a thread1

I’m a porn, masterbation and cyber sex addict. I’ve had a pretty good day today but as I wind down this evening I’m getting very tempted to want to watch porn and masterbate. I can feel the pressure of physical arousal building again. I have 42 days sober with no sexual activity of any kind. I feel like I’m slipping with withdrawals happening. I don’t want to act out but on the other bad I really do want to act out. Hoping for a mother fully sober day.

Break it down by simple increments of time(10min, 1 hr, 6hrs) and, simply know this urge-trigger-selfish thought process will pass. You’re doing great things for yourself so no good reason to slip back into old ways! Only bad ones.

You can absolutely do this. For me, some of it is imagining/remembering how disappointed I’ll be in myself if I backslide. But I know it’s hard, and I agree with @Smitty97 –small increments of time.

Hang in there, we’re rooting for you!
