    Ok, I was here a while back, thought I was “cured”...then the relapses started...I thought I could handle it, but I can’t.

    I started looking which lead to...ok we all know the trail of tears.

    The past two days I was going to stop after. “Just one more time”...is this how drug users feel?

    I wanted to see all my fantasies..then repeat.

    When I spent the whole day looking I realized I’m out of control.

    So what I did before to fix me didn’t work..so now what?

    So first step was getting back on here.

    Great to see you back man. No guilt or shame, we're all only humans. Failing is always a possibility, giving up not an option. I advice you to listen to this video. It helped me to get back on track after relapse. He was a former drug addict (clean 8 years): "Relapse is a very normal part of recovery. Many people will have a relapse or a few before they figure out the right way for them to stay clean for the long term. It is so important to get back on your feet after a relapse and to not let it run you further down the rabbit hole."

    That was a great video..amazing the similarities between porn addiction and drug addiction

    I like the.. today I’m clean ..yes we get so caught up in how many days clean..maybe in the beginning that might be good..but after awhile that momentum can work against us, we stop being as vigilant as we were in the beginning.

    Thanks for posting this video. Super helpful and really opened my eyes to some things. Amazing how similar the connection between drugs and porn.

    It makes me take this addiction more seriously and at the same time realize I’m not alone.

    It’s like porn is my drug of choice, my mode to check out..for other people it’s alcohol or drugs or gambling.

    Gambling is definitely an addiction and just like porn it’s all mental and we can use it way more easily then even someone addicted to booze or drugs and it’s always in our face..we live in a bar our whole lives( to keep the analogy going)

    So woke up, meditated and had bad porn flashbacks( something I had all day yesterday) and bad HOCD thoughts.

    I also didn’t have my morning “rise and shine” if you catch my drift.

    I have like I have PTSD...this stuff gets stuck in your head.

    Today I will not look at porn and I will watch my mind, if I have porn thoughts I will do what I can to stop them. I realize they will be there, and that’s ok, that’s part of healing. I won’t be passive though, I won’t embellish them.
