I'm learning how to deal with porn addiction relapses

I'm much like everyone else on this site. Been struggling with a compulsive porn use for a few years now. I've made and broken all the possible promises and that too in the name of one and all.

Over time I realized that this was not going to vanish overnight and so I started to introspect and figured out that there gaps in my life which were being filled by porn.

I tried Cold Turkey, as is the case I found limited success with it, so I went ahead and took some practical steps such as singing, new language etc. Slowly I started to gain better control over the habit.

I still stumbled, so I took on a more positive intent and have progressed pretty well over these past few months and I think that I'm better off today than I was over a year ago. But my problem is the continuing urges and the ensuing slip-ups which inevitably cause a relapse.

If there's any advice anyone can offer on how to deal better with slip-ups and relapses, because I really fear that I may fall into it if I don't learn to control them better.

Thanks..

Hi,
From past experience and from reading this site for many months, replase of a porn habit is par for the course. Its a part of the healing journey that we must undergo. Whats important is learning how to handle those experiences and to forgive ourselves for our slips.
