Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people say how they went down the rabbit hole on instagram. Went from scrolling or searching something & something popped up that triggered you to fap or go watch porn. Everything that pops up on your insta (or any social media) is based on who you follow, what you liked, and what you searched in the past. It’s the foundation of your algorithm. Not sure how many people are aware of this, but as I was editing my IG settings to not see sensitive content, I found out you can actually RESET YOUR ALGORITHM! I didn’t and haven’t seen a single sexual pic or anything I’ve searched before. How to do it ON INSTAGRAM: Settings -> Content Preferences-> Reset Suggested Content While you’re there, decrease the amount of “sensitive content” you see. It’s under the same settings category. Thank me later!

Additional to that, I’d suggest limiting your screen time and also not keeping your phone next to you when you’re going to sleep. My biggest trigger comes from seeing half naked women on social media, so limiting my screen time helped a lot! I’m on day 3 & 16 hrs with very little temptation, from fapping several times a day! Along with prayer, this is what’s helping me & I hope this helps someone as well.
