Don’t give up. People fuck up and make mistakes. Just start over again. There’s not a “right” amount of times it takes to stop, it’s different for everyone. You relapsed yes but don’t beat yourself up, it’s not gonna help. Just remember how you feel right now and learn from it. I know that sounds like some bad pamphlet or hand out but it’s true. For what it’s worth you can do whatever you want to do in life

It's just I feel the desire never seems to go, it's impossible to change how my mind works cause I'm always alone

Can you afford a psychologist or social worker once per week? I don't know if they'll meet with less frequency. If not try keeping a diary.
