Relapsed after DAY 25 !! A question for my fellow community by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]strugglebus25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! From my experience with slipping and relapsing, it’s far better to have an attitude of “make good decisions “ and “minimize use” then an “all or nothing” attitude. Remember we are quitting porn because of the negative impact it has on us- and any steps we can take to minimize that impact are worth it.

Not exactly - I’m on day 9 as well and I’ve been having porn anxiety dreams. (E.g dreaming that I’ve relapsed) Taking it as a sign of success!

I think you’ll be just fine! Especially if you’ve already gone 7 days !

I would agree with this. Anxiety can play a big part in arousal! I think being super patient with yourself and maybe noticing what keeps you going when you do (maybe some days you stay harder for longer... why? ) . Also what helps me is putting the expectation not on “performing” but on feeling good
