Hey guys,
Last night I relapsed. In my mind I relapsed partly because of my state at the time (tired, low energy) but mainly because I had no clear strategy on how to stave off the temptation to seek out pornography when the though entered my mind. The experience for me went a little as follows:
1. Dropped my girlfriend off at work for her night shift
2. Started driving home, the thought of seeking out pornography when I returned home entered my mind
3. I tried to reject this thought, telling myself that I didn't want to seek out pornography
4. Kept telling myself that I didn't want to seek out pornography but I could also notice that I was driving faster, trying to get home quicker
5. Still trying to tell myself that I didn't want to seek out pornography whilst another part of my brain started focusing on the type of pornography I could seek out
6. Arrive home. Practically ran upstairs to my flat and almost immediately started watching pornography
7. Finish two hours later, crap!
8. Wake up feeling shattered
What strategies or tools do you use to fend off temptation and keep you strong?
