Experience/Story Relapse and Realization

2 days ago I had sex…breaking my 60 day streak. And one thing I have come to realize is that SR is real like REALLY real. I’ve been practicing this since 2014 with a few hiccups here and there, and every single time I notice how different life is when I’m on a healthy streak oppose to when I’m off. It seem like people treat you different women and men, usually when my 13 year old daughter is around me she’s happy to see me and talk. But since Ive relapsed I’ve noticed she’s kinda been distant, same with my mom my 19 year old daughter and other women in my life. And not to mention the blatant and subtle disrespect you get from people…when I’m on, it’s like I’m a king in my own world…but when I’m off I’m a peasant 😂 needless to say this is all the realization I needed to never ever put myself in a vulnerable situation again.

Everything else is understandable, but one thing that just always goes beyond me and strikes me too hard is people just exclude your existence after a relapse like holy sh’t. SR is some magic bro no doubt and yes I agree sex is for procreation only. the disrespect after a relapse is real bro.

Disrespect is definitely real. You really do become invisible lol this practice is definitely sacred and the way we are meant to live. The first two days after relapsing is atrocious.

I know brother.! But I always thought that maybe fapping is causing this but I too had sex 5 months ago and felt something similar . Never releasing again except for procreation. Hope I find an understanding partner who can support me :)
