Dealing with the loneliness

Day 0

Just had first relapse since starting on this app. I can pretty easily get through a week fighting away the lustful thoughts with gym, prayer, etc. However after about a week or so I get hit with an intense loneliness. I have plenty of friends and family so I’m not actually lonely, but it’s like I’ve made an emotional connection with my damn screen that I’m trying to break away from. It sounds so bad but this is what always causes me to fail. And it usually happens late into the night. Just installed an app blocker with strict mode to see if that will help. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I used to kind of deal with the sad thing, but i had friends and things to occupy things throughout my day. But at night time when there was less things to do and loneliness would sink in, then I’m scrolling on social media. Next thing you know I relapse. But I believe there is a way out of this later day/nighttime lonelyness. For me is ease exercise, I play soccer and plan to make it pro, so whenever on days when I had training I made sure to give it 100%, because when I got home I cleaned up, ate dinner if I had to. But I was knocked out the late night loneliness didn’t exist because well I didn’t let it, the more you do throughout your day like exercise will make you want to go to sleep, I’ve began to start loving early mornings, I take medicine to kind of wake me up and set the mood for the day, a long with praying God. That’s what helped me

Also struggle with this a lot. I live alone so the loneliness really hits. Nighttimes used to be my biggest use time, now it’s the most difficult part of each day. Would also appreciate any advice dropped in here.
