So I recently had the best streak I've had in several months, which was 11 days. It may not seem like a lot, but it was really good for me. To be honest, it truly felt amazing. However, yesterday I relapsed and today I relapsed again. I've seen this trend in the past. I reach a good streak, then for some stupid reason I relapse and then spiral downward for a week or so. I don't want to do that. I want to pick myself back up and keeping fighting. But I'm scared I won't be able to. Any advice or encouragement would be much appreciated.
Download the app yourself. Hit the panic button whenever you think of giving up or relapsing. Collect your strength back and let the moment pass. Those quotes gives a light at the end of the tunnel whenever I think of giving up. It has been working for me so far.
You also learn how hard it is to fall just once. There is a strong urge to binge and to repeat your relapse. If you prepare yourself to bounce right back up when you fall, you then do it more easily. The chaser effect urges you to follow up with another shot. It is natural to feel sexier after sex. PMO is not natural, it is not the sexual activity you want to repeat. Be prepared to face the chaser effect if you fall again.
