    I find that there are maybe 2 or 3 different things I do right after I relapse and I wonder if anyone else has some insights on how they immediately deal with a relapse. Also, what do you all do for damage control or to keep things positive?

    1. I tell myself don't worry about it. Just move on as quick as you can.
    or
    2. I get an anxiety hangover while my stomach twists into a knot and I then try to distract myself.
    or
    3. I come online here but then feel like I'm fake for coming here after I relapse. (Even if it does help me feel better about it)

    Thanks for sharing,

    And there's nothing fake about having an authentic desire to move beyond whatever it is that's holding you back. We all have setbacks, its how you deal with them that makes ALL the difference. Your willingness to learn and grow is very 'real' and far more worthy of your attention than ideas of being a 'fake'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdllwCXDyTA&feature=youtube_gdata_player :cool:

  3. Analyze the situation, see how you could have done better, make whatever adjustments you need to (mine was simply moving my phone away from my desk),

    detox with some music, exercise, social interaction, sacrifice and then

    MOVE ON. Life is short.

    What i try to do is that....... I distract my brain from the porn as quickly as possible....... Doing so i also visualize that im free and reaping all the benefits of freedom........ Positive thinking also boosts me up...... I love to motivate other guys after a relapse
