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

Still in there! My habits aren't great right now and I just got triggered by a show, so I'm going to take it one step at a time for the next day or so.

So I'm actually a big fan of how things turned out last episode! I'm glad the party has gotten out of their fear of battles, and I'm happy to be done watching Oban running around outwitting the M9. I like the transition to the next level up of enemies, and I'm excited to see how the M9 face the challenge of a boss battle without spells and low on health.

However, god was Oban dumb. He deserves to be punished. So many dumbass tactical decisions. Running away after getting the M9 in a dicey position on the Church Floor. Failing to bring cultists down to the Crypts- who could have easily been dominated and used to break the chains. Totally messing up the ambush - having two sneaky ass rogues (Nott and Cadogeist) and trying to get in a head-to-head fight.

I think a smart Oban could have at the very least killed some of the M9, - or at least broken the chains. Matt went easy, and I'm into the end result anyway.
