I am thinking seriously to get a nokia 105. Since I bought this new phone... My life is really hard in weekends. I work all week at the office but once I get in the weekend my mind is idle and I fuck up. I am thinking to leave the smartphone at the office in the locker and have my dumb phone in weekend for calls and stuff. I have built a lot of resilience and even if I edge, I can quit, but I literally feel my frontal cortex fucked up after edging. I know is somewhat a plan B strategy but plan A doesn't work, I have no gym here, my home is filled with depressive memories, I get lazy, I can't do cold showers in winter here, aaaand I put my hand on the phone. I need a break for like 2 weeks from not seeing adult content at all. Idk what to do, power of will is stupid. Sure build new habits, new me, I know .. I got a job, I can abstain 5 days a week, then I fuck up in weekend. If it wasn't for weekends I would be 14 days in with no effort. You think is bad strategy or desperation to give up on the smartphone? I will still use it at work to communicate with friends I just don't want it home, especially in weekends.
I've used the "dumbphone" strategy before, but as a media professional, I need mobile access to e-mail and Dropbox so I can share files with clients at any time. Plus, a huge number of the people in my life are serial texters, and T9 texting my responses to them takes an eternity. What kind of smartphone do you have? I personally have an iPhone and I've been able to lock it down so I don't have access to porn, but I still have helpful things like e-mail and GPS.
Its an oppo, not high end but I had a shitty huawei before from 2014.. battery was dying in less than 6h. This switch was huge for me, it seriously made my life difficult since December. I normally justify to not watch porn during the week, but I am an idiot during the weekend, I commute like 4h, I am tired I don't wanna leave home in weekends too. If I dodge the weekends and build a healthy habit in weekends I think is a game changer.
I tried to lock it.. Thing is, I am a programmer and I locked my windows very well but I find it very hard to lock my phone, workarounds are very easy on mobile. For instance I would need app store removed to be sure I am in control. Secondly I use apps at work for work... If I lock my phone to a certain extreme, I might be awkward at work having my phone wrecked. I almost fucked up with google link having the phone locked for 24h, luckily I found a workaround. I think I will get that nokia 105, small screen and all. I will take the risk I am gonna watch porn in 6 months if I get a chance. Problem is last 2 months I made my life about nofap and I just want to know is not reachable anymore, then I will focus on other things and I will improve my life slowly. Even if I don't orgasm but I binge in weekend, even if I don't watch porn but I stay on phone is a waste of time. Weekends became a porn reward recently and it becomes a habit hard to remove. I need to change the game and see how my addiction will adapt, hopefully as there are no more options I am gonna only have the lust. For example now is Monday morning, I put my hand on the phone but I didn't watch porn, its really weird, as soon as is Saturday I get an unreal urge to watch.
I completely understand your situation, and I often feel like my life is passing by because I spend too much time with my phone. That's why I decided to get myself a used device from usedmobiles4u, thinking that with an older device, I would spend less time online. But guess what? The phone looks like new, and I can't seem to put it down all day long.
