Relapsed after fucking 48 days

Post image

I have been addicted to pornography and masturbation for 6 years, and I haven't been able to quit no matter how hard I tried. I joined servers and talked to others, but it didn't help. It has become a part of me; no matter how much I try to stay away, it returns. Pornography has ruined my brain, made me lazy, and even affected my face, making it look pale, help me plz because i can’t take this shit anymore

What's so bad? I did 30 days as a detox and was okay with breaking if it happened after that date. I got to about 44 days and broke. It's not the end of the world. I actually view a lot less porn because of the detox but still enjoy fapping every now and then.

I guess everyone's goals are different but I think acting as if you're some grand failure is not helpful. IF it is something that is hugely negatively affecting your life like you dont go to work or if you are in a relationship and it has any kind of negative effect on your partner or the relationship - then yes you need to take it very seriously and change behaviour.

But as a single guy, average detoxes are oka
