    Ive tried it all. Ive blocked everything I could when I can. Ive disabled search engines that cant block nsfw. Ive blocked particular words and phrases. I cant use reddit or twitter. Ive used DNS. I dont use search engines on mobile devices any more, even if I have NSFW locked Ill still try to search SFW images, so I tried disabling the javascript.

    Like many I started off much before I was ready for a barrage of anything I wanted to see. Which soon turned more and more and more extreme.

    I can just about use youtube but its still a struggle.

    I think feeling powerless as an individual against everything is what weighs into my insecurities. I wish I had the power to take down subreddits and websites intentionally designed to make me feel inferior and worthless.

    I just hope this works.

    My Journal
    Welcome. Glad you are here.

    Taking some time to learn about this problem will really help in your recovery. Plus, it will take you away from Porn for a while. Read the reboot material (available here => http://www.nofap.com/getting-started) and then come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good information and good advice, so don't skip it! :)

    Also, this is a great post from a nofap veteran about what kind of things could help you during your reboot => https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/time-to-be-done-with-this.140257/page-25#post-1442099

    As you start your recovery, perhaps start writing a journal? If you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery.

    Also, stopping bad behaviours is only half the battle. This fight will probably also involve a lifestyle change. So try to add things into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't want to engage in PMO. Think about doing:
    • Something you enjoy
    • Something you're good at
    • Something important
    • Something for somebody else, without thought of reward
    Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other, and you may find very useful insights from someone outside your age group or part of the world.

    Look around the forums, get to know people. Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL.

    I wish you a successful reboot.
