need advice to people who are successful in this situation

Don't take your cell phone in there. Yeah, I know, I'm sure you thought of that, but....take something else, a book, a page of a newspaper, anything else besides your cell.

 

I put my wireless charger outside my bathroom door. Everytime I walk into the bathroom I just lay it on the charger. That's it's home anyway and it is very natural for me to leave it there.

It now has become a habit, I have not had my phone in the bathroom for over a year.

Good luck.

 

Without getting too personal how long does it really take you to poop? I've never really understood this idea of begin entertained whilst taking a dump.

 

Self awareness is very important to recovery, so it is good you are aware of your triggers.

What I have found personally in my recovery is that you cannot play around with triggers. There cannot be “ I will just.....take my cell phone in the bathroom and......check out...” Or in my case there has been a number of times I have wanted to look at borderline material to get me aroused without P and M, but I realize I can’t. That is one huge reason my streak and recovery is still alive. I so far have not allowed anything to get the ball rolling.

So in your case it seems you need to make the conscious choice not to mix the phone and bathroom time. There is no compromise. If you really want to fix that trigger teach yourself to go to the bathroom without your phone, and get out as soon as you are done. It will take awhile for your body to adjust but it does get better over time.

 

Hi.
Create a good habit. Take notebook and everyday write "I won't take cellphone into bathroom". Repeat every day and there will be a moment when you'll ask yourself a question "Should I leave the cellphone here or take it inside bathroom".
It works. With this I'm no longer sitting in the front of the PC during nights and evenings.
