    A friend and I are attempting a reboot for the first time. My initial goal is just two weeks PMO-free, and I'm hoping to set a new goal after two weeks.

    I guess I've done a "reboot" before, literally in monk mode, when I stayed at a monastery last year (I'm Catholic). No internet, no cell phone, no meat for a month. Days of prayer, silence, solitude, reflection. And it was relatively easy, during that month, to be PMO-free.

    But then I returned to the world and fell back into old habits. Being unemployed has been tough—it's brought on a lot of anxiety, insecurity, and idleness, all of which makes porn more tempting.

    I've just been hired, finally, and start the new job in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping this is the start of a new chapter in my life, a chapter of growth and health and victory. Thankful for the support here.

    Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Congrats on the new job, and this new start.

    You can do this! Keep coming back, and keep interacting with others here. Don't just be a lurker. It'll help!
