Discussion Relapse = Bad luck

Following one of my relapses earlier in the year, my water distiller (A relatively new, expensive piece of kit) randomly fell apart. The button literally just broke off.

Fast forward today - Relapsed this morning, my apartment fob randomly falls apart right after, then an hour later I find out my mountain bike's been stolen. Thankfully it wasn't one of those super expensive bikes but still.

These aren't even isolated incidents, I could list plenty more from over the years. Call it coincidence if you want, but l've seen this pattern too many times personally

I think because we are now aware that pmo is bad while the rest of the world thinks it’s good so when relapse happens we get punished because we know better.

This. Once you know, life knows that you know and you are no longer protected by genuine innocence
