Hi, I'm a teen who constantly relapses each 3-4 days. To add insult to the injury I frequently visit my local parish and I absolutley adore being there, if only... Well if only my willpower were stronger. I have already asked my father, whom I trust deeply,for help, but he thinks that I'm only overreacting, or actually, he both thinks that I'm overreacting and he does not know how to help me.I know that the answer is within my head, that I need to do that step forward to achieve freedom, and yet it seems like, no matter how strong my ideals might be, I can't get over it. So, well, the thing is, I hope I can finally overcome my situation here.
My story. It took me 2 years to finally stop porn for more than a week. I am at almost a year now. Here's what worked for me: 1) Remove all expectations that you are going to overcome the situation. Take each day as its own and remember to get back up every time you fall down. I relapsed about a 100 times before I didn't so know it's possible 2) Ask yourself what works for you not others. I noticed that there is a lot of research and often it's a bit conflicting. However, one thing is you just ask yourself what's right for yourself and make one small improvement at a time. 3) Teens have lower willpower and stronger sensations so don't beat yourself about it.
Find ways to get out some of the energy like sports or a club or something, when you dont relapse for a long time you get really good at sports.
You can do this not sure if it's a matter of willpower or you wouldn't have difficulty stopping.i will say sitting in front of a browser is slavery.you will find a temporary relief of stress only to find creating stress after your agonizing wondering why did I fall again. One peek is too many .it's easier to quit than continue down your path.good luck welcome
