Hey @Ezel, I know this sucks, but don't let your past define your future. I just blew it not even fifty days ago, but I'm still killing it in school, in spite of my relapse, thus, I refuse to let that relapse "define" me. I know it's not what we wanted, but it's what we have to work with. Life is considerably better right now than it was when I was looking at porn every day six years ago. That's not a cop out, it's just that facts.

We can do this man, we just have to believe, and fight for what we know is true.

The 'next day' was always dreaded for me, especially if I hadn't got any sleep the previous night. But, aside from physical fatigue, it really is a matter of perspective.

How we perceive our lapse, how big or important we make it, determines how fast we can bounce back from it. Truly, your lapse is just a blip in the overall picture. The fact that you care and are trying is far more important and weightier than a momentary lapse.

You got this, Ezel. I've always believed in you, rain or shine.

I messed up again yesterday. But I'm doing what I do best which is getting back up and not falling for all those voices in my head that tell me to just accept what is and fall into this hole and never climb to get out...

I love how you came back here @Ezel, and didn't give in to going all the way. But I wouldn't expect anything else from you.

Let us keep aiming high.

Fall seven times, stand up eight. - Japanese proverb

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again - Proverbs 24:16.

The fact that you stand up, and go forward, even after a fall, is proof, Ezel, that you're on the right side of this issue- walking away from it.
