Accidentally seeing porn images

Hey people whats up? Earlier this evening i turned on my ps4 for the first time in a few weeks,i had a few messages one was from a friend i went to school with and knows about my porn problem,there was an image of a naked woman which i opened it i immediately shut. Will stuff like this affect my reboot? I managed to stay sober for 111 until around xmas and am currently on day 57 and its going well. The image triggered anxiety type feelings which are only just starting to subside after 3 hours. Any input guys and girls?

It happens. The fact is you didn't linger. You didn't dwell. Good job! Just try not to think about it. You got our support.  ;)

Keep up the hard work!

oh, one last thing. I once had a "friend" disrespect my values like that, over and over. I had to cut him off from a certain form of social media *as in, I deleted him, but was still friends irl*

That's part of the growth you'll experience through this process.

It happens sometimes out of our control. Close it as soon as possible. If it triggered urges try exercise like go for a run, do weights etc or have a cold shower. I'm sure it has happened to all of us on our reboot.

Hey guys thanks for the replies,fortunately it hasnt triggered a relapse or masturbating but i do still have a little bit of anxiety iv tried my best to keep off the internet for the past few days too. Gotta keep my streak going strong
 
"Will stuff like this affect my reboot?"  - I would say: yes, certainly. Avoid these imagens, because they retard the reboot and causes anxiety, as you described. For me, the anxiety is one of the worst parts. I am having lack of energy and my mood is terrible now, but anxiety... man, is a completely hell.
