    I will stop this addiction. I have been addicted to porn and masturbation for a long time. It has changed my life badly. I tried a lot to stop this addiction, but I relapsed, and the reasons for the relapse were because I was not serious, and the reason for my not being serious lies either because of fear, anxiety, or pressure, because of my addiction in the previous years, I did not learn how to deal with all kinds of pressure because of addiction.

    First, I will learn how to deal with stress above all else. like

    - Relaxed breathing
    - Meditation
    - Exercise daily
    - Spend a lot of time with friends

    secondly, Doing my work and getting it done and not procrastinating.

    I only go back to the bedroom when I need to sleep.

    Every day I will write updates.
    I'm sorry if my English is bad.
    Thanks and l hope you have a good day.

    After seven days, I have only relapsed three times, which is a good start. I will continue .

    I started exercising for 25 minutes just to keep myself going. and I reduced the time I use the Internet, and if I want the Internet, I use my computer, not my mobile. I started spending time outside the house with a few friends. I will try to increase my exercise time over the next seven days.

    Thanks

    Every relapse is a significant set back. This isn't Mario, we don't have unlimited lives.

    Wishing you good long-term recovery

    After 15 days I relapsed 5 times. And for 10 days I did not relapse.

    I started making great friends and getting out of my house a lot, which is great.
    I spend more time in the gym.

    I will continue like this for a period of a month, after which I will try to reduce the number of relapses and not hurt myself if I relapse, because there is no life without failure.

    Thanks

    I'm not looking for perfection, this is your own concept not me << For me, I do what I want, where I want>>Don't waste your time searching for a perfect life.

    Look up "kindle effect"

    I am not looking for perfection. I am looking to stay abstinent.

    Most people do not recover from this awful addiction. Repeated relapses lead to longer recovery periods. Eventually and with enough relapses there is a very good chance that you will never recover.

    Good luck

    This is about 3 weeks old. How has your journey been so far?
     
  8. This is my philosophy too. I think progress is more important than perfection, but I see many people here that are looking for perfection and when some of them fail, they give up for some reason.

    Ultimately we are free because we dont play the Fools game anymore. Trust me with time things clearing up me vs 3 months ago and i understand the flatline better and im mentally stronger. Not where i want to be yet but not where i started.

    Im still flatlining but now i understand it better then 3 months ago and also im mentally stronger if that makes sense.

    This is where you activate the amygdala, instead saying exercise daily, say which small step can i perform per day to improve my mental strength. Also i suggest you to learn about rebooting articles because when i did not the train hit too hard.
