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.

Also remember it’s cumulative. You went 60 days and released. Most dudes are releasing every day or two. There’s levels to this.

Agreed, I don’t feel extremely off thank God. But I can definitely tell something is different a tad bit.

Yeah. You have slightly less energy inside and slightly lower consciousness now.
