It seems it this group there is an emphasis on how long a streak you can keep. Don't misunderstand me. Your are much better off without porn. I would even recommend this to a secular person. The problem with a streak is that there are people who go over a year clean and the moment they have a relapse they can feel like a failure. Look how far you have come! Nobody is perfect. If someone going from looking at the stuff every day to once a week, that should also be praiseworthy. Recongnize your improvements more than your slip ups GYE makes more of a fuss about 90 days than long streaks and for good reason. Going from looking at the stuff every day to once a week, generally (yeah my brush is broader than it should be…) means one hasn’t yet found the key to sobriety i.e. being clean long term - although slip ups can occur. My 2 cents

My 2 cents Then it should be a tool used by addictions counselors, and not a tool used to actually break free. But yes, it can be used to indicate when something is working and when something isn't. |
