Managed 2 days so far.
Its been tough the last 2. It really does remind me how awful a relapse is. That feeling of god awful despair, especially after a binge. But i'm getting there. I have exams in a month so that has been giving me stress and fear as well. The relapse has not really helped either. Its like all me confidence has collapsed. But I had a good evening tonight and also had a good gym session which helped. I know I can get through this slip up but its hard. Waiting to hear back from the therapist to see when I will start sessions properly. It feels right to be taking this action. I'm fully convinced my addiction is not just an addiction but is caused by something. In my life i've endured a phyisically and emotionally abusive father, 22 years of being undiagniosed with dyslexia and having to come to terms with that, feeling I was stupid, and feeling I was inadequate and inept with women. Porn has helped none of it, but I know things cause the porn addiction too. So its time to be honest and try and dig this out.
In the mean time, my goal is to carry on with reeboots. In the last year I have been in a cycle of relapse but did manage runs of 25 days, 20 days, a few 10 and 12 day streaks and a lot of shorter ones too. I have to give myself credit for the fact I keep trying. But its hard.
