Modox but desire tahara 23 Jun 2015 20:10 #257521

Hi special yidden.

I am 24 and recently moved to a city away from my parents and family. For the first 23 years I never set foot in a shmus website, despite the fact that I used the internet for a degree and business. However, this year I fell

My parnassa is in programming and as such I need to use internet. I would so love to go back to where I was, being involved in academics and business but still living in tahara.

Is there a way to do that? Or do I need to go to the other extreme and not subject myself to anything?

It is harming my tefilla and torah. I would love some constant chizzuk and good ideas

Welcome!
First, I would like to express that although this is a website geared to Orthodox Jews, we are all here to stop lusting, regardless of age, race or religion. The fact that you are "modox" should have nothing to do with the fact that you want to stop this behavior.
Regarding ideas, have you read the handbook? FAQ's? Skep's Tips?

Welcome,

Can you go back?
No. ...but you don't need to do it again.

Why don't you simply stop and be done with it?
