    a week ago i had relapsed and was about to go on the chaser effect because the shock i had received from my relapse was hard. i was thinking about a girl and i had relapsed,i reset the counter and i made it an aim to go on dopamine detox from then on.(first aiming for 30 weeks).
    today i complete the 1st week on SR.well to be honestly, i've had mistakes that i rectified and have been working on them since yesterday.
    i used to download some raunchy dating apps and peek on women and tell myself that this ain't porn but actually,it is,is makes use of the same SCREEN-STIMULI-ORGASM cycle to make u feel good,so i dumped the dating apps.
    i deleted reddit coz it's full of porn,even if i tell myself that i don't wanna watch it,during the early stages of the reboot,like for 2 months,the brain craves a lot, coz it suddenly gets a dopamine dry,which it tries to fill,it's just a survival mechanism.and i work against myself when i use reddit.
    had relapsed earlier(twice) on day 21 coz of peeking i am making sure not to do anything of that sort this time,i'm off social media,cutting out smartphone usage to 1 hr a day.or less.i am trying to go out for a session of exercise in the evening whenever i get time and have started reading more.
    i am making it a point to keep off phone,and am considering peeking at porn as relapse from now on,so as to make it tougher and make my neuro chemistry more flexible after the reboot is complete
