    Hello, I am on Day 45 of my streak and am about to enter midterms at my school. I have done a good job of keeping myself busy and staying off the computer, however I need to study now, therefore need to be by a computer. Any tips to lower stress and avoid bad websites while being forced to stay on the computer?

    Have you thought about adding a filter onto your browser? Blocksite and k9 have both helped me avoid the nastier stuff out there. Though you'd need to consider getting someone else to be your accountability partner (preferably someone who you spend a lot of time with because you may need them to unblock certain sites at times without having to give you the password) otherwise you'll be able to get past the filters with ease. I guess it is really down to your will power, as you can't hand the rseponsibility/power over to web filters, but they do help to prevent pop up triggers.
    Other than that man, I've stopped using facebook which has helped me in a number of ways, especially seeing as though I was exposed to triggers on my newsfeed often.

    Install ad blocker in your browser so you don't see any stupid ads while browsing the internet, do not add any site blockers, you already have what it takes to keep yourself in control.

    Since you are past 45 days and you are still in school you are already miles ahead of those around you, you have taken the appropriate step by keeping yourself in control already.

    The only thing you need to do is keep that faith in yourself that you have been keeping for the last 45 days.
    Best of luck.

    I have tried various blocker but you can manually switch them off in the chrome add-on list; it happens to me a lot of time: when urges come, I will switch off the blocker and still PMO. I was searching for a true un-stoppable blocker but it seems they doesn't exist in the world. Anyone have any advice on how to block websites entirely?

    Thanks! all the best for you!

    Looking for an unblockable porn blocker also, hard to find, maybe one with a password exists, than you can make a very difficult password that you cannot remember. I personally try to do all my pc work in the library, hard to relapse there. When I do need to do something at home I first make a list with all that needs to be done on the computer with an estimated time on it. Then I tick off the boxes of what I did and stay strict to that list. This helps both productivity and avoids relapse. Give it a shot, remember to stay strict and ALWAYS write down what you need to do before you do it, that way you have an agenda you can redirect your mind to whenever it wanders off.

    Don't search "just one little thing." Have a specific and educational purpose for everything you do on the computer. Don't Use the computer for any kind of reward system or leisure. Also use it in a public place if you can.

    Do your work in a public place on campus, assuming you have a laptop or tablet that you can use.
