BH week one completed as said in an earlier post, recieved many may'los. Now on to week 2 of no yt, started sunday 3.27 till 1 week sunday inclusive BzH! Hatzlacha me =)

Yes, neuroplasticity is the name of the game here....
I think webcahver is always important, as ive learned. 
What happens when you dont have it is you look for holes on the filter or sites that will not catch etc.... onc you have webchaver, thats over, you will stop searching for anything bad because you partner will see right away that you are up to no good. 
And yes, please check out the f2f again. 

you make a good point

Slowly trying to shift away from yt, Did a week straight then break for a day or so, then another week right now about to be done, 2days down 5to go!

A week and 4 days down without any YouTube, which lead to most of my problems, BH, let’s keep strong!!

Amazing! 
Its unreal what we can get done when we want! 
Hatzlacha!

2 weeks done!

Late commenter on the topic but what works for me is to have a strong filter and block Yoututbe, then if I need something for work or education etc I request that page. Take a few minutes to get approved and by that time I sometimes figured it out already and don’t watch anyway. The time delay is a big help 

3 weeks no youtube..
Incredible of how much of a difference it has been without it, thanks for the challenge. I will bh do another week starting tom. Hatzlacha all!!

I hope that you can see that my harsh words in the beginning were meant to help you…. 
im happy that you took this step, I always tell people that dealing with things outside of our brains and bodies are so much easier to deal with, you just walk away and turn it off or throw it out, of course it’s hard but usually only until you make the decision, once it’s over, you forget very fast why you needed it.
the real struggle is to deal with urges that come from without where you can’t just shut it off……. Hopefully you won’t have a hard time with that…
Good Luck and keep growing

Chancy, you come to haunt me good for you!
the words with the mashal- smooth as butter, it takes time until you are somewhat out to realize 

Emes a Yid, what a man! Behatzlacha on every day you achieve another day of sobriety from youtube. Please speak to us before going onto youtube if you do "need" to for something. Because you actually might need it! Just get us involved before and after you do this. It is called bookending.

Thanks for the offer. I have been way more in tuned when not watching videos throughout the day, even during bn zman it’s so much more helpful. I have been walking a bit and I have a very strong grip to watch what I look at before hand and avoiding those situations when possible. Hashem has been with me, and BH it’s doing great for me

I can now say this although there was many days Yom Tov, it’s been almost 4 weeks no YT! 
amazing how time flies and Bh helped me to say the least from worse sites from such..
