If I'm honest, I've been in relapse since Easter. Only lasted 2-4 days at a time since then.

I'm taking my recovery from a Roman Catholic perspective so I'm looking at removing the near occasions of sin.

What I've done so far

• moved my laptop to a public space in the house
• deleted the only browser felt comfortable using to look at porn
• placed icons in my bedroom (place where I masturbated usually) and a crucifix where my laptop is now
• been enrolled in the brown scapular
• pray the rosary daily
• read at least an hour of the Liturgy of the Hours daily

What am I missing/is the problem?

• I ignore all my protocols when I am alone at home
• It is a slippery slope for me.

What I plan on doing moving forward

• try my best to eliminate time alone
• minimize my time online to 30 min a day
• only get on my laptop when other people are home
  • if this is unavoidable (work related) try to go in public area out in the world and do it/do it on phone

In short I'm going to take a kind of fast from my laptop/the internet. For at least 40 days I think. After the 40 days (Tuesday, Sept 4, 2018), I will see where I'm at and reassess.

If anyone has any input or advice or encouragement, feel free to comment. It would help I think if people replied. Even though this is a forum, I feel sometimes that this is a vacuum.
