Man it's like I'm going in circles

I have have the same problem man I've considered turning off wifi too, but I have a family and it wouldn't be fair to them, you know what burns me is that every time you call down to the cable and internet provider they say they don't have parental controls on routers, and you can do it yourself but it's the biggest head ache in the world but it's doable.

 

don't cancel your wifi, lets do this 30 days together, I know what you mean, I went 100 days once, now I can not go 5 days with out PMO. lets get this done!!!

 

I don't know what your habit used to be but maybe you've had some success even with your shorter streaks. If so you know you can do it. You do have to want to stop. So do you? Look at what PMO gets you? Is it worth it? It sure isn't for me. That doesn't mean I don't see something I like in it. But if I think about it it causes far more damage that isn't worth the brief amount of pleasure.

With better routers or router firmware you can disable WiFi to certain devices only. You could just shut off WiFi to your personal devices.

 

Thanks, hadn't thought about just disabling it

 

You could install filters like the famous K9, whitelist useful sites that could have been blocked, and change the password to never relapse there again, and using YouTube on "restricted mode" (at the bottom of the site, and you can lock the settings so you do not change it). Greetings.

 

Keep up the great work man, we are all in this together! Reach out to me if I can help in any way.

 

hi man you can't block yourself from the outside world in my opinion.
i dont think that blockers and those things are the cure to our problem, we need to be strong mentally and keep pushing to achive the goal..
good luck!

 

I feel your frustration after having relapsed at day 175 yesterday and day before. I really thought that at day 175 my character had changed and I would never relapse for as long as I live. What I believe helped me get that far is a technique which you could google and learn more about; it's called the no arousal method. The day before and on the day I relapsed I let my mind wander and focus on inappropriate stuff, whereas instead I should have meditated or exercised until the urged subsided. I strongly recommend utilizing the no arousal method. You will also need some reconditioning which you could do by yourself. What I normally do now is when I see something arousing or inappropriate anywhere any time, I instantaneously look away and reaffirm "I'm on day so and so and I am going to stay that way." In addition to that, you need to incorporate new habits such as daily meditation, prayer, reading books, exercising, and going for walks in nature and completing your work. That's how I managed to get to almost 6 months. At the same time, you need to link immense pain and suffering to the habit or addiction you wish to ultimately overcome, and link pleasure to reading books, exercising, meditation and praying; the good habits and addictions. If you look at the cycle of a habit or addiction, you need to keep the cue and the reward the same, but change the routine. So next time you get an urge, read a book, go for a jog or walk, take a shower, do some house cleaning, pray, meditate, wash the car, play with your pet and so on. The idea is to transmute your energy.

 

The more you partake of those sites you will most certainly wank. It's pretty guaranteed.
