You are never done

A few months ago, I started pornfree. Pretty quickly I actually found the willpower to completely stop and I was clean for about 2 months, but then, I felt like I was basically done with my addiction. Like I could allow myself 'just a little bit' since I've proven to myself that I have the willpower not to go back to my old habits. I started looking at sexual pictures on Instagram and soon enough I ended up sliding back into porn. Now, I'm back to the point where I can barely go a day or two without it. It's pretty frustrating.

I think what did it, is that once I went two months, I thought I was done. I thought "I'm not a porn addict anymore.", but that's not how it works. For an addict, you can be clean for years, and go right back to full blown addiction if you try it "just once". I believe I can get clean again because I've basically done it before, and I've learned this valuable lesson from the experience, but this is my warning to others:

You are never 'done'. You can never reward yourself with 'just a little bit' because you've been doing well. At any moment, you could go right back into your old habits if you aren't constantly vigilant.
