Hi guys. Im new in this forum. I am from Germany I relapsed. In the morning i had an urge but i was able to fight against it. Then i played some video games. The urge became so strong that i relapsed. My porn addiction is getting worse and worse and now i am watching some hardcore bondage shit and switched even to gay porn. I am thinking about getting rid of my smartphone. Because everytime i watch porn is always on my mobile phone. Actually i need my mobile phone for studying and so on, but i think it is doing more harm to me than beeing useful. What do you think?
I found out that i am wasting too much time on my smartphone. I tried to use my smartphone for positive things(for training, for meditation. But i always end up wasting my time scrolling through the net and watching porn. My reason would be to be happier and more productive but i dont know if getting rid of my phone will help.
Many people say that getting completely rid of something is not the way, you have to control your usage. But what if some people dont have the power to control and the urge and addiction is to strong.?
Here is what I did: Install *** on your smartphone, you can get a subscription for 6$ a month, enable the "Prevent Uninstall and Settings", this option is going to ask you to add an accountable partner and its email. If you don't have or don't want an accountable partner you can use 10-Min mail or a temporary mail, which would get deleted after 10 minutes. Now you won't be able to uninstall ***, so you won't be able to look for porn on your smartphone, good luck!
I agree with this, you can't completely avoid computers. You technically could, but you are making your life much more difficult in every other aspect then it needs to be. You also are avoiding your problem. You need to face it directly. If what @IWillNeverGiveUp__ mentioned is an option for you, you should try it. I can't speak for that piece of software personally but it sounds like it may be something that could help you. At the end of the day YOU will have to ACTIVELY make the CHOICE to not watch porn, to not masturbate, to not orgasm. Good Luck, remember just one more day.
@Just One More Day dude your advice is solid. I agree completely with you. This 90 days PMO free thing is just the starting point to developing the qualities in your personality that will help you control your impulses. It is a conscious decision that will turn into the habit of being intentional on your actions. If you guys are interested, wanna have some goals setting, progress tracking and supporting mates, I started a small whatsapp group you could be part of. Let me know by sending a message to my inbox
hey guys. I just relapsed again. I installed an pornblocker, but i deleted it So I decided to make a smartphone detox week. I will lock my smartphone and replace it with a dumb phone for a week. For me, i think it is the only way, to detox my body and my brain from this hell. And maybe i will expand this detox week. But I dont want to be distracted anymore and want to break the habit of constantly looking on my phone in the morning .
