Day 89 (no PMO), day 3 (no MO).
As mentioned earlier, I also struggle with a general internet addiction. That is, I spend too much time scrolling and loitering online, looking for something of interest, like I'm trying to solve a problem and "something" on the internet will give me what I'm looking for. Whatever that is.
One of my hobbies is LEGO. I use a design program to create cool things, then order the bricks, and build them. It's fun. But I've started noticing some weird parallels with my porn addiction:
Spending too much time in front of a computer
It can become compulsive instead of fun
It can sometimes be motivated by stress
I spend a lot of time scrolling and looking for what I want
I spend a lot of time getting things just the way I want them
Sound familiar?
Yes, I know that noodling around with LEGO software and doing something fun and creative is a million times better than porn, but it's still troubling to discover all of this. So here's yet another thing that I have to be mindful of. Maybe others have noticed similar parallels with video games or other online activities.
