When the urges arrive

Day 8

What helps you stop the urges? Instagram really has become almost like a porn website. So many only fans accounts in it etc. Does placing filters help this? I’ve realized that even if you don’t go to a specific porn website, almost your day to day apps like Instagram, tries to get you to slip up. Im on Day 8, and have not given in. Thoughts on this?

This is all really good feedback. It’s so bad that it comes through instagram. It’s like the devil I saying, I will tempt you through whatever means necessary, even if you don’t google a porn website to go to. I’ve realized that it’s all about money & industry. And the more they can draw you in financially, it’s just an ultimate trap. Not going to the Instagram pages or major porn industries would be a way to identify a trigger. Sometimes even staying off social media completely is a good detox

Also it’s gonna be a process but as I said before over time you’ll figure out what works best through trial and error

For me it was wisdom and learning to not give in to my flesh. Not sure if you have a relationship with the lord or not. But the best advice I can give you regardless is that you have to learn to hate porn and your why has to be bigger than your addiction

You gotta establish discipline. To the point where it doesn’t matter if the urges come or not. Cause real discipline is when it’s hard anyway. Also you gotta identify your triggers like you clearly have now and learn to resist and avoid those triggers. And then ultimately as time goes on through trial and eeeor you’ll figure out what the answer is for you / what works best for you to overcome this addiction

I think it’s great you’ve identified instagram could potentially slip you up. Personally i constantly hit “not interested” when i see over sexual videos build that habit because once Instagram detects that you’ve watched a couple seconds of one, it will keep pushing those videos those videos onto your feed
