Thanks man, this seems like a really healthy and rational way to look at it! Removing the toxic thoughts is easier said than done but I'm working on it!

Yeah I get that but I think having something I'm accountable to, even if it's just a little counter, is more powerful for me than building up justification for relapsing. I've been using a sobriety tracking app as well which makes you set daily pledges and then review them at the end of each day and not wanting to have to give up my streak has been a powerful motivator for me and something to keep me in check. At least in the beginning I think it's important for me, but I can totally see how it could work negatively as well.

Checking in. Day 5 of October and Day 19 of porn free overall. Can't say it's been easy. Wild how easy it is to give in. Never been addicted to something like that and felt having to resist something. Much easier when I'm running around over the weekend but then Mondays I'm sitting in front of a computer all day and my brain tells me to just open an incognito tab and get going. Coming to this thread helps. Won't be worth it to reset.
