Day 6.5: temptations everywhere I go
I’m on day 6.5 of not watching porn… It has been extremely hard... I have tried to eliminate triggers by blocking posts on social media and reporting things so the algorithm knows I don’t want to see it, but I guess the algorithm doesn’t care about my journey. They keep putting that tempting crap in my feed, tempting me. So, I am taking it upon myself to delete every social media app I have on this device, in hopes to reduce my exposure to triggers. I hate this part of me that requires such measures to be normal again. I wish I never got to this point.
Deleting the apps is a must brother. You’re spot on when you say the algorithm doesn’t care about our journeys. Keep resisting; you’ve got this. Try and channel the urge into something like exercise or a cold shower (or prayer if you’re religious) next time you’re struggling - that’s helped me a lot in moments of weakness.
