I relapsed after 2 years, and I feel devastated
I’ve been completely free from porn for 2 years.
And today for some reason I relapsed. It didn’t happen suddenly, something triggered me and instead of stopping myself, I kept digging deeper and deeper into that hole until eventually I gave in.
Now I feel devastated and ashamed before Allah. I keep thinking about those 2 years and it feels like I threw all that progress away in one moment.
I’m posting this because I could really use some advice, encouragement or just a reminder from someone who has been through something similar.
For those of you who have relapsed after a long streak: how did you recover mentally and spiritually? What did you do differently afterward?
I don’t want this one failure to become an excuse to fall back into the habit. I’d appreciate any support/advice
