Day 1,
So I was told that writing down in journal will help with keeping track of progress. So here we go....
To me, I see that porn has three faces to it. Some may disagree but I see three. They are videos, pictures, and literature. I have done so much to block out the first two, but my problem comes from the last one.
I love to read fanfiction. To me reading is a drug. To escape reality and just move on. Great plots, funny scenarios, self inserts, crazy shenanigans, adventures, etc. But the problem that comes with certain fanfiction websites is that there is erotic sections. I have blocked as much of the erotic sections I can, but it keeps popping up and this is my weakness. Stopping myself from looking for several days, but there are times where my will is weak and I just go looking.
Every time it happens I keep blocking my path to get to it in the future, but I fear that I will have to one day fully quit reading and that will be a bad day for me. So this is my chance to fully break this habit and move on.
Well enough rambling for now. Be back tomorrow.
Here is a list of what I have done to stop my search and visit of other porn sites:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Cold Turkey:
A program that is bought and will restrict access to sites you have added or even keywords. Put as many porn sites and
keywords into it and then made a password so long that I won't remember it and shredded it. Can add sites to the list
without the password which is a great thing since I have do not remember a 30 RANDOM character password
[*]Change IP Addresses to restrict from going to porn sites
[*]AppBlock and Lock Me Out:
Blocked phone by locking out Search apps indefinitely by putting a timer for lockout from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm. As will as App
Store from 4:00 pm to 5:00 am incase I need something that is required by work.
[*]No social media apps or channels that give soft porn. Also no Social media apps on phone since I really don't get on social media during work.
[*]No magazines or DVDs since I am Ebenezer Scrooge for my money.
[*]Gaming Consoles with connection I do not use, since those are public and I don't want curious people looking at it.
[/list]
If my grammar is bad, sorry. Thinking too fast and typing too slow is a baaadddd combination!! ;D
