13 weeks of sobriety.

I finally have 13 weeks without any porn or masturbation. I've had many "minor" slips meaning that I've done stuff like sending inappropriate messages to old contacts- people who may have been not a part of my life for many years and vice versa, trying to "ignite old flames" and conjur fantasy and memory. The biggest struggle is using visual fantasy to "switch off" during sex with my wife. This seems like the last bastion of the addiction for me. As a result I've become very triggered and tempted to act out in other ways. Over the last two or three years I've had several period of 12-16 weeks of recovery and the 12-16 weeks has tended to be the period in to which I've relapsed.
