My journey

[Rockit]

Do YOU consider it a relapse? If so, reset the counter.

If you're not sure... take some time, and decide.

The streak/counter doesn't matter. You've learned that arguments + liquor = huge threat to your reboot. Thankfully, I don't drink. Otherwise I'd have relapsed already.

 

[Rockit]

Excellent. It is not an option. You could not be more right!

 

[fapfreezone]

Hang in there dude!

I find the inner addict is very good at bullshitting us and telling us we're ok, we're not addicts, a little look here and there won't hurt anyone etc.. I've come to believe that this is part of its ploy because it secretly realises that actually, we're not ok at all.

 

[fightforlife]

Yeah, it?s kind of a rollercoaster sometimes.
But you must not give up. You made it very far. You have a happy life ahead it sounds to me.

 

[Rockit]

Keep going strong. When things get stressful, send some messages. We have to help each other.

 

[fightforlife]

Oh man, sorry to hear.
But you made some tremendous progress and one progress won?t set you back to zero, so get back on the horse!
We?re here to support you.
Glad to hear that your wife is so supportive.

 

[benhj]

Keep coming back and sharing!

 

[Rockit]

Exactly. Just remember, we aren't going to judge you.We are all in this together.

 

[Rockit]

I hear you. We just need to remember the streak isn't what matters. It is one day at a time. In the last 35 days, you have PMO'd once. That's really good. This streak thing is dangerous. After all, aren't we aiming for "a forever streak" eventually?

I just hope you'll keep posting on here daily when you're struggling and when you are doing well. You now know you can succeed for long periods of time. Time to start again.

 

[Rockit]

Hell yes you are. If this wasn't tough, it wouldn't be a problem. Strong foundation!

 

[benhj]

Don't focus on anything man. Just be. I find that when I focus on shit I think about it. If I focus on fighting my addiction, guess what, I lose my abstinence.

i had a good streak going, and the thought of giving that up and admitting i slipped up was hard for me to swallow.

I thought this when I broke my 47 day streak, but then I thought, well, those tick marks still look pretty good! This helped me avoid excessive relapse, which is why I'm now back on 19 days.

 

[fightforlife]

Don?t let them worres keep you up at night.
Enjoy the good things in life,
worship every moment with your wife.
Somehow everything will be alright.

Hey tbriana01, I totally relate to the addict tricking us. It tricked me fairly recently. Its very good at doing that.. Don't give in, at least, don't give in today!
