Hi, I've been trying to recover from porn and masturbation addiction, I've been doing some great progress but every time I relapse I get deeper and deeper into a hole of guilt and shame, any tips or person experiences on how to deal with it, thanks!

@randomguy21 Relapse is a part of the process. As long as you're trying to work on the addiction, you're slowly building on skills that will help you even if a relapse might make you feel your efforts were not worth anything. Its important to not engage in what is known as black and white thinking. Find a middle ground and look at yourself with care, perhaps like you might treat a friend who did the same thing. Good luck!!
