    I go online everyday and find myself stuck browsing face book, my mail, even Wikipedia for no good reason. Some times it happens for 3 hours straight. I have way more free time then I'm used to. What is a good way to deal with this extra time?( besides face book and email)

    Read a book, it is very effective at conducting both the attention and the bloodflow from your libido and penis to the mind and brain.

    What is important to realize is that the environment affects you, you need to change your environment as you change your behavioural pattern so that they are in harmony- this is the lesson that I am learning the hard way. :)

    The environment is not only where you are but also what happens to you. Look at it as a system made up of smaller systems made up of smaller systems, if everything is interconnected then you need to look at it as a whole and realize that a small change in one area elicits changes in all areas, however subtle.



    As a side note: yes, I am constantly relapsing and you may think that I am in no position to give advice, but my relapsing has to do more with sub-optimal environmental factors than ignorance of principles, as you will notice by realizing the validity of the advice.

    I've had issues like that, too and have been brainstorming some ways to help. The one that I keep coming up with is creating a schedule for myself. My trouble days are Saturday and Sunday. I am very schedule-oriented most of the time, so if I created a schedule for myself that limited my computer time I think that I would have a hard time not following it. I think that there is also a program available for download that will limit the amount of time that you can spend on certain sites.

    I hope some of that might give you some ideas.

    I think I'm going to try and create a schedule for today now. That book idea is good too. Hopefully it will work. I was thinking about also limiting my time online to like 8 am 12pm and 4pm to for like 15 minutes each. I like nofap, which I feel is useful but other then that I usually go no where besides in circles. I hate to admit it but I really do nothing when I'm online.
