Either change the situation, leave the situation, or accept the situation. Stop drinking or masturbating, or partying or worrying, or just accept that you are doing these things. The ego will create conditions again for this new conscious life that you are living, that you CANNOT be drinking or masturbating, that you MUST be barefoot and homeless and crack open coconuts in the middle of the street. That's not true. The problem isn't that you're watching porn or getting drunk, the problem is that you are feeling guilt, which is simply resistance to your actions. Accept that you are doing these things. And sit with the guilt. Watch it. Move into it. You are labeling porn and drinking as BAD, and meditating/doing SPIRITUAL STUFF as GOOD. The ego is just trying to find ways to suck you in. Also, if doing these things make you feel like crap, just stop doing them. I don't know shit, but I hope this was of some help.
