I've taken several steps so it shouldn't happen again (NEVER)
I blocked (through k9) the entire internet after 10:00 (its 1 o'clock now?. but goes into affect in 10 minutes)
i'm really depressed
i know i shouldn't be, but i;m still literary depressed

I KNOW THE NEXT FEW DAYS IS GOING TO BE HARD
because i'm extremely down, also because this p..n stuff are still fresh and flashing in my mind,

despite all that. i'm committed to clime out from this mess, i just hope i'm not fooling myself

I'm mammesh in the same boat with you!

Together we'll weather out the storm.

I also took similar measures to cut down my web access and stop up any holes on my k-9.

We'll get through this together with Hashem's help.

A gitten Reb I am not alone

I have on my office computer - in addition to filternet and webchaver - timed internet access. from 9am to 6pm. after that ge'endigt, finished. (My friend has got the password)

It helped tremendously. I am always home on time to help my wife with the kids. My older kids also love it.
And I feel accomplished after spending 2-3 hours at home and catch up with all their stories from school.

I also blocked almost all major news sites that have got videos, and of course you tube.

But don’t forget that filters are just a prevention not a cure, we still have to follow some program to help us out of the addiction (12 steps etc.)

I'm with you -I was just in this situation yesterday - you really aren't alone.

I got rid of the K-9 password -Baruch Shemasar Olamo Leshomrim.

Just pick yourself up and we'll keep on truckin'.

With Hashem's help, we won't let the YH have the last laugh.

KOT!

Have you ever said this before?

Just curious.

If you have been this way before, I'm here to suggest that there is another option to this very devoted and very sincere snow job we keep giving ourselves. If you end up having to promise the above yet again, c"v, ask me (or any other addict in recovery) about sharing it with you and we will try to do just that.

But in the meantime, Hatzlocha!!

im not alone

BH the hardest part is over, i've been clean for 24 hours now, i didnt even think of shmuts (well, almost)

let me explain myself
I have k9 on my pc already for a few months, i didnt knew the password, and i use the filter gabais email, but i still "had" the password written down and placed it far from home somewhere, so in case i had to adjust the filter options i would go down there to pick up my password and adjust it and then take it back there, "thats what i thought" but i guess my YH had other plans so after months of not viewing any major inappropriate stuff (tried here and there, but never got to the real garbage) although i mas.. sevarel times in the last few months, it was much much much less then i had before, and the fall itself wasnt so hard hit as before (still obviously extremely bad),
but all that almost ended when i passed the place where i kept my password and... i just took it. from there it was one harsh nightmare... i dont wanna repeat

but BH i'm up and running again

dov:
yes i had said that before, but this time i DID something too

manually selected to block a few so called CLEAN SITES that use to trigger me if i really wanted...
made a commitment that i wouldn't watch any movies "via online", ZILCH, ZERO, NOTTO, NOTHING, NOPE, KELUM (even rated E)
..........., so i erased my code, if anything i'll ask Mr. gabei to adjust it

all you guys,
you will never know what you mean for me,
thanks so much

risingup
exactly this is what i ment, you (and so much others here) mean so much, actually you pushed me into bed RisingUp wrote on 01 Feb 2011 06:23:

In a few minutes you could go to sleep. Wake up tomorrow and realize that its a new day. Start the day doing something that you really love to do, no matter what it is. Maybe go out to breakfast. Then tomorrow night log back on and continue to discuss what needs to get done. But for now, take a 24 hour break from this forum and everything else and treat yourself. You'll see. When you come back tomorrow night you'll be all invigorated and ready to take on the issues at hand.

im not kidding after that dark night, i didnt know what to do next, i just wrote instead of crying, b ut i didnt expect anyone responding with any ideas
but after your reply i just went to sleep (i'll admit i cried in bed, so would you if you would know what i went through)

what could i say................ thank you
its 10:00 o'clock over
