Video games and adult coloring works for me. Anything that will distract my focus from it. I make Paracord bracelets. Idk if you’ve ever tried any kind of crafts…

That’s still 19 green days out of 25. You have much more clean time than being in active addiction. Well done!

I suggest extending yourself some grace and compassion. This week wasn’t a disaster, it was a week of lessons. Apply what you learned about yourself and your addiction to this round of sobriety. I hope it’s your last! :people_hugging:

Well done for getting to day 7. Porn is such an insidious addiction, for me it feels like it creeps up out of nowhere.

Focus on the basics (food, hydration, sleep and exercise). When you are feeling better try thinking back to when you relapsed. What was the circumstances around it? Did anything trigger it? Or did you find yourself in a specific set of circumstances that meant that you fell off the wagon?

There is a thread at the top of the forum that asks what is your plan? It is worth a read as there is tons of good advice in there.

My last bit of advice. You are enough.

PMO is tough to “detox” from; and, because it’s so socially acceptable (yet taboo to discuss in polite society), we feel like we have to deal with it alone. However, you’re not alone!

We get it.

Happy, sad, scared, tired, bored, compelled… been there, done it.

I relapsed so badly that I was looking at porn in the church parking lot before going into church! :shaking_face:

You continue to reset your timer, and you continue to fight against the urges; you are a warrior! I am so PROUD of you!

Working on day 5 and struggling. These urges are brutal. :weary_face:

You’ve got this, though. :folded_hands:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:
