[Apkf Thoughts] My relapse..sad

so after 8 days I relapsed

after the first fap did not feel the guilt…but then went on a binge and felt bad

It was same old story of me taking things lightly and not being motivated…topics shifted from the usual things on mobile phone to the porn and then it happened.

During the past 8 days…I was able to more closely notice my emotions…I was very angry in the morning for a silly reason and it haunted me till afternoon…so definitely affective control is also a problem in me…

I will now again have to go that cycle…sad…but I am motivated…because relapse is part of recovery

after this relapse two more learning points… I ll add

  1. it is a problem treat it…it is high time
  2. not every experience in life u should have.
  3. never be alone in the house.
  4. mobile to be used in living room
  5. self discipline and plan
  6. Every morning and affirm yourself that I will leave ot
  7. be firm and very firm
  8. when you are having a negative emotion take a pause.( do u mindfulness, watch comedy vids, listen to song etc.)
  9. keep your life simple…don’t make it complicated

love you and everyone

Love you too.

Bro… staying alone and having a phone… are not the reason for a relapse… atleast for me… because from past 14 days i am alone in my room and play games on my phone.

In my opinion… in order to RISE UP… we must kill ourself psychologically.

When addicted self dies… New self can be born.

from yesterday the urges had mounted to an another level…They were very intense in the afternoon…my thoughts were taken away and overcomes by the urges… was not able to think rationally and was irritable…getting boners.

I had end up relapsing…sorry my friends and esp companion I let u down…

God please give me strength to fight back this cycle of addiction

I don’t, as in my previous relapses I am not feeling guilty but a little relieved of the mad thoughts which were going

Learning from the relapse…is that I should have taken time out did something else.( meditation, running etc.)

friends my family please guide me.
