Hey everyone, I’ve been in this fight for some time, since I was 17 actually.
Have had some degree of success in the past, my most recent and longest streak being 117 days this august (as a married man, this was not a hardmode streak).
Unfortuntely since my relapse I’ve had a lot more relapses and September and October (so far) have been pretty bad for me.
Found this app and decided to join this forum for the extra accountability.
I try not to overspend too much time on my phone so I can’t promise I will be updating this journal daily but I did feel like it would be good to put this out here and have a place I can go to if I need to write things out.
I’m currently on Day 3.
Please feel free to follow my progress for mutual encouragement and support. My sharing code is: 09n80b
Good brother…but since you are married then sex is not counted in relapse.
You know masterbation (dreaming)
Sex(reality) both are different things…all the best
Sorry to hear about your relapse. What you’ve done so far is still an achievement!
This doesn’t work for everyone but I’ve found taking St John’s Wort (425 mg tablet per day) incredibly helpful. I’m on day 15 so far and the urges have been minimal apart from on one day when I was hungover, but even then I was able to manage. Give it a try, they take about 3-4 days to kick in. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure if I would have got this far without them.
Sleep was better this week but would still like to get into the habit of recording it every night.
I also relapsed this Monday morning which is a tough pill to swallow. I think I will keep up a daily report here on my streak as motivation not to fall back into old patterns.
My goal is a clean day for the rest of the day, and to work on a plan forward.
