After staying sober for 6 weeks I had a relapse yesterday. I did not watch hard core porn though. It was a mildly soft but somehow I lost my willpower. I had a fear that I might relapse when I lost my job but ironically the opposite happened. I got a job on friday but somehow an inner voice persuaded me to celebrate my success. I was aghast today morning but at least consoled by the fact I have gone sober 6 weeks halfway of my target of 90 days.

I am happy to share with all of you that I have stayed sober for 25 days without any hiccups. This is a great achievement for me because I was successfully fighting my cravings which started again following my job loss. But my determination to find a new job and not to lose my control this time made me stronger and now here I am first time in many years no porn, no masturbation for 25 days.

Hi All
I am happy that I have successfully stayed sober for almost 12 days. A pat on the back for me
Regarding the withdrawal symptoms, I suffered the usual symptoms
1. Lack of concentration, focus on task at hand
2. Anxiety - feeling that something terrible is about to happen
3. Repeated flashbacks of images/videos
4. Unable to sleep at night
