K9 does not do sh*t

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 14, 2019.

  1. Hello,

    today I installed K9 on my PC. I checked the settings, blocked everything that has something to do with P or Psubs. I wanted to make sure if K9 really blocks that and I quickly realized that it does not do shit. There were still bikini woman in google images, I checked the settings again, it still didnt do shit, the women were still there. Is this a relapse or a reset?I mean I searched for woman twice but just check if k9 blocks that.And I only looked at it for 1 sec,not longer,1 sec on both searches.

    Not a relapse. Just be careful. Make sure that you are actually in a stable frame of mind before you ever do somethin like that. As you recover your porn addict will do ANYTHING to try to get you to relapse, including "testing the filter". Make sure that you're not in addict mode when you do that. Also, Covenant eyes has a new thing called Screen Accountability, where besides filtering, they take periodic screenshots of your activity and scan the images for anything inappropriate, Better way for accountability. The key isn't just blocking, it's accountability.

    Keep in mind, nothing can do this in your place, these things may at best give you a very minuscule aid, but nothing more.
    Not saying they are useless but many make the mistake of thinking these solutions can actually replace real effort of changing your life

    Stop being a pussy.It's not the fucking filters who have to do NoFap for you, it's YOU motherfucker! If you relapse don't blame it on anything, it's your fault.Period.Tools and tips can only help you with NoFap if you use them efficiently, but YOU have to man the fuck up and do the work.Grow up and point your finger towards your fucking face kid.

  7. @Mister Fire , that's not a helpful response. Addicts are addicted because of complex reasons. Using ad hominem arguments or insulting an addict doesn't help, and has never helped. In fact, it's known to have a negative effect on an addict.

    An addict needs support and guidance. Yes, it's correct that the OP (and you and I) have to do the work. Why don't you guide him how, instead of lazily throwing insults?

    You're funny I like you.
     
  12. Hi there,
    To be honest with you, you will NEVER find that perfect application that will prevent you from a relapse, We all know that if an addict has a big urge to relapse and decides to give up NOTHING will stop him, he will do whatever it takes to reach to that "dopamine hit".

    I didn't say Filters are bad, They are actually pretty helpful BUT you can't give them the responsability to protect you from relapsing, It's all in your hands.

    si pudieran dar algunos concejos para no recaer, ayer recaí por descuidado, soy contador publico y como saben trabo frente a una computadora de manera diaria, y al usar las redes sociales me cuesta esquivar esas cochinas publicidades con contenido inapropiado. hasta antes de ayer iba días pero ahora haré el reinicio.

    K9 and other programs can only do so much. The goal is for them to create resistance and inconvenience enough to dissuade you. But it cannot stop you or the entire internet.

    I also highly suggest using the grayscale setting on ur pc and phone. It basically gives ur screen a black and white filter. Makes u spend less time , sleep better because of the blue light reduction and if u do end up on say instagram. Instagram is way less addictive without color so u dont end up going down a hole of images. Ideally u want to avoid unnecessary internet use rather than try to screen the entire internet.

    Yea i’ve Fucked my self up with blocking porn on my computer and “tested” to see if it worked. Pfffft more like “let’s see where I can find porn in the internet blocked Forrest”. Many a relapses over the years, lasting far too long. Couldn’t get past 4’dAys for like 3-4 years. A sprinkle of 1-2 week streaks but that’s about it.

    When I admitted to my self I needed blockers I had a friend set the password, and I just go to him when the blocker blocked access to RV site (lol wtf?). When you go looking.... you’re gonna find it is some corner, looking at you with booogey demon eyes. Blockers HAVE helped in ways but ultimately you must resist searching for it.

    Hyprontality is a fuckin slut. That feeling of watching “yourself” walk over to the computer and go through the motions and flat out ignoring the voice thay’s Telling you stop. I would pay some one to follow and tase every time I think about going to fap fap a doo.How do you Stop compulsive behavior when you’re already compulsive?? A head start (30-60
    Days) was my answer so blocking porn was my solution. I’d go to rehab if I could afford it. It didn’t work out as planned but the searching is beginning to feel laborious which is starting to deter me.
