Nothing to learn from a relapse

In the past, I believed that I'd learned something new from each and every relapse. I'd literally journal what led to me relapsing. I'd write about how my habits hadn't been good lately or how I had been feeling a particularly challenging emotion. Sometimes it would be stress. Sometimes it would be loneliness.

And every single time I relapsed, my approach to dealing with my porn addiction changed. This is what circle people do. They jump from one method to another, seeking change but never find the consistency or stability which they really wish for. There is nothing to learn from relapsing. Every relapse strengthens addicted neural pathways. Do not make the same mistake as me.

If you are still relapsing, then the only reason is due to an inability to deal with compulsive desire correctly. That is all. It's not to do with who you are or your sexual desires. Focus your efforts on dealing with compulsive desires correctly and rewiring the brain, instead of going round in circles trying to avoid the desire like I did for years.
