I’m a 27-year-old Muslim and I’ve been struggling with pornography and masturbation addiction. I managed to quit for three months, but I relapsed and am now trying to quit again. Today is my third day, and I feel discouraged and frustrated.For those who have overcome a similar addiction, what helped you stay consistent after a relapse? How do you avoid losing motivation when you slip up?Also, what do you do when the urges become very strong? How do you deal with cravings in the moment without giving in? Any practical strategies that actually worked for you?
A new account, all written in bold, with a potential rage bait about religion and jacking it? I smell bravo sierra.
Another post, made around the same time, is also talking about “sinful” behaviour

I’m guessing that both of these accounts are going to be self deleted within a few days
I understand why you’re skeptical. I used to use Reddit, but I left it and moved to Lemmy.
As for the bold text, it might be because I translated and edited the post using a translation app before posting it. I’m Egyptian, and my English isn’t very strong.
However, I really do struggle with this problem. I felt that this might be a place where someone could help me, or where people who have gone through the same experience could give me some advice.
I honestly hesitated for a long time before posting this question.
Also, while I respect religious advice, I’m mainly looking for practical solutions.
You moved to Lemmy to ask this question on an account called Ahmed? You sound like a customer service bot?
This is not the reaction of a human being struggling with porn addiction. Let’s just say you have not succeeded in allahing my skepticism.
