Guys I don't think I am doing the reboot in right way
I use social medias like Instagram or tick toc
Well on Instagram I used to follow many girls that sell nudes
Butt I am unfollowing then
Some times some pictures
Their pictures showed up on my feed
I saw that I deleted it
I did not peek

You should consider getting rid of IG and Tic Tok. Anything that can lead you to Porn or Porn Subs. You have to get your brain off the screen. Tik Tok was a killer for me I had to dump it. I had dumped IG way before my reboot but replace it with Tic Tok. Once those apps get a hold of what you like they'll keep feeding it to you. Same with Youtube.

Abstaining is not recovering, if you're not making the conscious effort to keep yourself away from potential triggers (if you "need" something connected to porn for "something else" you're probably lying to yourself) you're just going to keep relapsing, feeling like shit and wondering why you're not making any progress. Source: literally me I am miserable

Get yourself off social media, you literally don't need it. You can communicate to people through other places, get their phone numbers, the people you "stay on social media so you can still talk to them" probably haven't even been given a spare thought once over the past 5 years. The apps you have on your phone "just in case you need to (something)" are only there because you might be able to find porn there, and your brain wants it. Don't believe yourself, and double check every justification you make to yourself, because most likely it's a weak excuse to keep some way of relapsing in your life.

Download porn blockers on your computer, lock away the key. Stay away from games with sexualised characters, you may enjoy the game (and may even just "enjoy" the game so you have an excuse to look at hot women), but is it really worth the misery you feel after you stop fighting your urges? Delete all internet browsers on your phone, turn off Safari in the settings. If you need to google something like CPR in an emergency you can reenable it in the settings, but having that available to you 24/7 is a bad idea. You don't need it, don't listen to yourself.

Don't download new apps on your phone, especially things like Google Drive, VLC, or any other media player. Odds are you left porn there somehow, somewhere, and if you're just "downloading it to make sure there's nothing there", you want something to be there. Don't go looking for past traces of your life addicted to porn, you're not trying to make sure you can't find things by googling that, or downloading that, or talking to that guy, you want to find it. You're making a weak excuse for a chance at finding porn for yourself, and you won't even try to fight the urge when you find it.

Focus on your life, make changes, get things done that day. Talk to real people, keep yourself distracted, the very second you feel in danger of searching for porn, go to a public place. Sit in front of your family, go to the park, go to the shops, it doesn't matter what it is, make sure as many people as possible can see you.

you're on the right track my friend, find people you can rely on to help you, don't try to make it through this on your own, if you're using willpower when you could've avoided the situation requiring willpower in the first place, you can still make improvements to your method
