god I feel like a retard having to type this but I have really bad addiction problems, its in my family. Sh, porn, doomscrolling, doomscrolling porn, energy drinks, etc. how do I quit. its effecting me my moods and my social life. I've been trying for months and I feel like a failure for letting slop take over my life. it got worse when a few days ago I discovered b random and started 4chan in general. the porn there isnt even GOOD I just saw someone named violet who I thought was hot as fuck and since then I started looking for the same thrill. any advice..?
>>35037949Here is what I did. So, porn is too damn easy to access and this is one of those things you can't use willpower to overcome. >Use claude CLI to code a system that blocks it on your computers, laptops, phones, etc. You need to block porn, porn subreddits, boards, instagram and similar shit which is low key porn...>Make sure there is NO WAY you can undo what you did.I have mine set up so if incase I fucked up and went too extreme and blocked websites i actually need, I have to run a command and wait 3 days for it to undo itself. This way, I can't just undo the action, and if I try to, hopefully in those three days I can calm myself down.>Remove old friends with benefits situations from your phoneYou also need to make claude know how to block any way to get around shit by using stuff in the appstore or whatever. For real, this is the best way. I dont even have to fight my addiction as I literally cannot watch porn no matter what I try.
>>35038056And if you truly need, you could buy an old laptop, turn it into a server with tailscale vpn, then make all your devices require the vpn to search anything. With this setup, you can also setup an adblock which is nice (faster internet as you dont have to down/upload unnecessary info). Also, it blocks apps from being able to load things so if you have some sort of different browser, it still wont matter. If you have an iphone, you need to reset your phone and set it up as an organizational device on a different computer. It kinda sucks resetting the phone but also you can think of it as a clean slate and a refresh. It is also fun to set up a new phone.
>>35038076OR! You should learn how to have self-control.
>>35037949You need an alternative dopamine source
>>35038056>>35038076This doesn’t work for everyone. You know how crack addicts will suck cock for a fix? That’s the power of addiction.You could make iron clad computer protection and you will find a way to get around them during an urge (trust me..)The real honest answer is to go to meetings. You don’t even have to leave your house (porn anonymous on zoom is real with meetings every day)Those meetings work. All addiction doctors recommend them.
The entire fucking world is built to exploit people like us bro. You need to take on an extreme lifestyle that forces you away from it. Go work on a drilling rig or do something where you physically cant get locked into your phone and shit. Or at the very least take camping trips regularly where your phone is off and you bring little to no tech. This will at least force you to live a little as a human being.
>>35038056Is there any way to do this if you use a vpn?
You just stop. Im a coomer and I haven't jerked off in a week so far
