Thank you for your encouragement True_self. It is encouraging.

chancy I agree with you. However, I managed to remove webchaver (covenant eyes) way to easily each time I want to act out unfortunately. I have a filter called qustodio but I am managing it so it is basically not a fair fight. I cannot administer my own filter for obvious reasons. So I am looking for someone to take over the control of my filter. I should hurry in this search. It is night time and the yetser hara is trying to push me to just take a quick look. Not p...n but social media, not 3 hours, just 30 sec...The usual tricks for which I fall all the time...Guess what I am sending this message and I am going...TO SLEEP! more tomorrow morning...Thank you all!

Get any good filter like Meshimer, Tag, Techloq those are nt easy to temper with.
Install truple and add someone here as the recipient.
If we remove it, that person will get an alert right away. It worked wonders for me. Knowing that 'someone' is always watching........

I have webchaver (covenant eyes) + qustodio filter...The problem is that I am the administration especially of the filter. I am trying to close this loophole by assigning someone different. If the filter is in place and I cannot temper with it, it will already a good fence. Ultimately every filter has loopholes and for sure will not keep me sober. It can be a good first defensive line but I know that I need more than that. I need to change from the inside and this takes time and effort

I am sober today. I left the forum open all day. Sharing as I felt. Looking into the feedback I got. There is a lot to learn, a lot of work needed to grow...I am on my way. Tonight the plan is to stay sober and go to sleep quickly. Not spending too much time on screen

Not fully acted out but still. Obviously today, acting out is on my mind. Need to honest and keep sharing. I am restarting again...

Check it out.

A general point about filters I want to speak out. You are a partner with them. If you have the mindset that the responsibility and security of the filter is on them, then it is you against the machine and you may try testing things.... It is a partnership. You need to do your part to stay clean and safe.

And from experience with certain filters, you can call them and speak to them and they can understand your issues and help you set yourself up for success! You can ask to speak to someone who can help you...
