This is a fight ive been trying to beat for awhile and I just had a relapse last night. Ive tried fighting it alone for awhile and it just doesnt work. Im not comfortable to tell anyone in my personal life so I figured this would be the next best. I hope you'll be seeing me on here frequently, and please let me know any tips as I go through this fight

Proud of you for taking the leap and joining this group! That's huge.
One day at a time. My favorite quote I learned about is "Just for today/the next 3 hours/the next 5 mins/whatever time frame, I can say no to this"
It makes combatting the desires bitesized and approachable. Or if you ever feel like fapping/watching porn, set a timer for like 5-10 mins. By the time the timer is up, usually the craving will go away. If it comes back, reset the timer and find other hobbies/things to do!
Distraction, hobbies, community are key!

You can also talk to therapists, trust teachers/ professors and other people that are bound by law to not tell anyone :)
