Relapsed? DON'T binge (my experience/reminder)

    Just something I want to tell you. Many already said that, but as I experienced this myself, I can just tell a little comparison of my relapse experiences.

    A few months ago, I had a ~20 days streak and after feeling down and lonely from problems with being in unhappy love I relapsed. Then I felt like shit and just went on doing PMO again and again, 3 times a day, for a week. I just didn't care anymore. The result was that I was completely retracted into a hole of depression and it took me so much energy to get out again. My next big reboot was very slow.

    Five days ago I relapsed after being angry from a heavy argument with a buddy after a 15 days streak. However, I told myself this is shit and got back on track, no matter how much I wanted to binge again. I just didn't, so I just relapsed once... now I'm on Day 5 and I'm feeling great again.

    It's not all about numbers. Don't think "yeah counter is at 0, so there isn't much to loose"... one relapse will of course slow down your reboot, but it won't set you to a "mental 0", it's just a little breakdown in an upward curve. Believe me, it makes a huge difference. You CAN fuck up more than you already did.
