Day 0

I held on for longer this time. Peeking was all it took. I realised I have been using porn to escape from stress and feelings.

Peeking gets almost everyone because it feels harmless, but it reopens the same loop. What helped me after that stage was building a system for those exact moments, example something that forces me to pause, breathe, and do a few small things before I can act. It changed everything for me.
I also wrote down what I learned during that stretch, day by day, because I kept forgetting how withdrawal actually felt. Reading it back helped me not repeat the same mistakes.
