    Hey all, I don't post on here much. Want to start by saying how excellent of a community this has been. Reading everyone's posts and advice on here gives me so much strength in my journey.

    I am currently trying, I think for the first time in my life, to seriously quit this shit for good. I have blockers on everything, DNS blocked, Bulldog Blocker on my phone (which works a little too aggressively at times lol), and I blocked my biggest trigger (Reddit). I am on day 37, and the last 5 weeks have been relatively smooth sailing. Mentally, I feel damn near the best I've felt in the last year.

    However, the last 3 or 4 days have been the most difficult of this reboot so far. The urges have been coming on stronger than they've been since week 1, and I find myself playing the mind games that always lead to a relapse. The snapchat algorithms are putting triggers on my Discover page (which just keep coming back). I keep telling myself "just a peek", but we all know where that leads. I have not looked yet, but I fear I will soon. My girlfriend is going out of town at the end of the month, and my brain keeps telling me that we will relapse when she's gone.

    I will not relapse. I cannot let myself fall back into the evil grip of P. Any advice for dealing with the urges? I thought the worst was over. Anyways, I'm off to gym now

    Stay strong, you will reap the rewards
