Phase One of Porn Addiction - THE RELAPSE


“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”

Henry Ford

The Relapse or phase one of a porn addict’s life starts when he goes back to his old ways of watching porn and masturbating. He would have gone without porn for days, weeks or even months but he is back to square one. He would have thought, seen or done something which would trigger his addiction and he slips back to his old ways and ends up binging on porn and masturbation. He is filled with shame, guilt, and hopelessness. 

But he will not stay in this state for long. Once he has binged enough on porn, he decides to quit porn forever, which he has done countless times before. He knows that “forever” is just around the corner, it may be a day, a week or a month away and he will be back to porn again. But he has decided to quit porn and has made decisions and arrangements to keep on track. He might delete his porn collection if he has any, he might install porn blockers on his phone and PC, he might shift his computer to the living room where everyone can see what he is browsing, he might start an exercise plan, starts a hobby, joins a club, etc.

Relapse is the time when an addict knows every reason on earth to quit porn and get his life back on track. So, it is the best time to write down his goals and all the reason why he wants to quit porn. And the techniques which follow will help you do just that. But before that, let me give you something very controversial. Controversial for those who think masturbation is good. Just keep an open mind and read the next article. If you get the point I am trying to make there, great. If not, don’t worry, the techniques in the blog will still work for you.

The techniques which we are discussing are taken from the book "30 ROADS AWAY FROM PORN - More than 30 Real Techniques to Quit Porn".

Porn addiction and Medical Science

“A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.” Muhammad Ali There’s an old saying in the teaching world: “ Tell them what you’re going to tell them. Then tell them. And then tell them what you told them .” And so, as you move through this blog, you’ll probably notice much repetition of thoughts and ideas, because we usually learn best through repetition. There are few things in this blog which are not scientifically proven yet and when you come across them, you will have two options to choose from. Try those things and prove their effectiveness for yourself. Or, wait until there is scientific proof for their effectiveness before you try them. But be aware, if you go for the second option, you would have to wait for a few decades before the scientific world catches up with the lived experience   of porn addicts. And it would be too late for you.  Always remember that science will always lag behind the lived experience. The case with every new

Porn Addiction As a Three-Part Loop

 " We shape our tools and afterward our tools shape us." Marshall McLuhan   The life of a porn addict can be thought of as a three-part loop which he goes through repeatedly.  This loop consists of three phases - the Relapse, the Reboot, and the Retreat. The Relapse or phase one is when he goes back to his old ways of watching porn from a successful streak, the Reboot or phase two is when he is away from porn on a successful streak for any amount of time, and the Retreat or phase three is when the porn cravings hit him hard and he slowly moves back towards phase one or the Relapse. The porn addict behaves differently in each one of these phases.  During phase one when he relapses, he is full of guilt and shame. During this phase, he has every reason to quit porn and every reason why porn is bad for him. He is full of motivation to quit porn and to get his life back on track. He will delete his porn collection, gets porn filters for his phone and PC, decides to exercise, medit

The Golden Key #3 to Quit Porn Addiction - CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” Vince Lombardi People wrongly believe that “ Practice makes a man perfect ”, but they never stop to think that it's a half-truth and the reality is that “ Only perfect practice makes a man perfect. '' But in the case of Porn addicts, even that belief does not hold good. Because “ Only perfect practice of the perfect thing makes a man perfect. '' Porn addicts try to quit porn for a few days and relapse, they start again and do the same things they did at the start and fail again. They think that if they practice quitting porn enough times, they will succeed eventually. But alas! that is not the case. To learn juggling, you need to practice. But if you practice the wrong technique, you are heading towards failure. To master juggling, you need to practice the right technique in the right way. If you keep practicing failure, you will learn to fail again and again and again. What I strongly believe is
