Welcome Erin 
Your friend pointed you to a great community. I hope today is day 2 
. You achieved some good sober time before and you can do it again. Do it for you and everything else will fall into place. Stay patient and hopeful.

Welcome @SOG There’s a good group of folks here on Talking Sober who are recovering from lust / porn / sex and related addictions. If you search “PMO”, “sex addiction”, “porn”, and related terms you will find many posts.
Personally my recovery from porn finally started to get some traction when I joined Sexaholics Anonymous (www.SA.org). When I started working that program in a systematic way, and keeping an open mind and learning from people with more experience, I found sobriety.
There’s a lot to learn and it is a big change in mindset. It is possible though, always one day at a time.
Welcome to Talking Sober!

Hey! Thanks for checking in! I get my 5 day badge at 6am tomorrow(: I’ve been trying to read through posts on here any time I’m feeling bored or triggered which has helped. Seeing a widget on the home page of my phone with my sobriety counter has been a huge encouragement as well!

Plan for meetings, doctor in morning for prescription for Anta buse, ive stopped isolating lately and reconnected
I need to commit to 3 or 4 meetings a week to get started again
Its hard with kids and sport etc, but as someone said, its more important
I feel i get complacent after a dew weeks of sobriety, im untouchable, then relapse

The Anta buse will take a big decision out of my hands, while I get going again. I drank on it before, unbelievably sick, not recommended
Also, I want to be accountable and engage with this forum, especially after a period of sobriety , when I let my guard down
Very grateful for this forum

My plan is to deal with my triggers. Post daily. Reach out when I need to. Start going to in person meetings again (once my sickness subsides). Hold myself accountable, and remember my WHY

This is informative and spot the “F” on! Thank you for sharing! All of you, thanks! My plan is to keep up what I’m doing. I’m in a MAT program with my primary. Ive been seeing my therapist since the week I got home. Meditating, working and keeping myself healthy is my continuing goal! Oh, and to go on vacation and not be in full blown withdrawal! HA!

The first few times that I actually quit, I was so freaked out, that I didn’t do any of the things that I was advised to do. I went to a few meetings and then rawdogged it on my own which lead to a relapse after 5 months. This time, my plan is to: set an intention daily, attend 1 AA meeting or spend 15 mins reading the big book 6 days a week, get a sponsor, and learn to manage my anxiety with exercise, meditation, and creative art work.
