Dear Not14,

In my opinion I would definitely say yes if you are determined enough. However, I also don't know how addicted you are to porn. If you are heavily addicted, the unfortunate truth is that you will probably need to go through a phase of cold-turkey because it's very difficult to genuinely want to give up something that gives you pleasure and excitement.

Out of sight, out of mind as they say. To be on the safe side, I would install a filter. Just remember, having a filter isn't the real solution. Without changing your attitude and mindset you'll never be totally free.

I hope that helps.

BW,

DL

Sorry to say

No filter

No web chaver

You are in trouble

You are a firefighter

Without gear


Get gear!!

Also figure out a away to get off the internet


U don't need it for business

And u are not using it for entertainment


U are on the verge of developing an addiction which will take a lot of work to break

Do u appreciate your time
Talents
Energy


Do u need heartache
Stress

Do u need do be captive

Do u want ur life to be unmanigable

Take this from an oldtimer

The internet is not for u

Not for now

Is it possible to win a boxing match with both hands tied behind your back?

Maybe, but why the hell would you try if you didn't have to?

Me3,
I have an iPhone and it would be very complicated to get a filter, I don't what and how to do it, and besides, I don't want other people to know I have it, if I have to use a comp to put a filter peaple will see, so I was wandering if it's a must or not.

How about the following if I can get a good freind to share my secret with, and he will every day and he will  check what I went on.
And don't worry the only way I can delete the history is if I delete all the history, which he would no doubt notice!

Can this work?

I know that if I had an unfiltered iPhone, I'd be toast.  And I'm married, and with over 15 months of sobriety, b'Ezras Hashem.

What you're suggesting would certainly give you some degree of accountability, which is important.  I just don't know if it's enough of a deterrent, especially for the long term.

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

If you are willing to share your addiction with a close friend, you should also consider sharing it with a rebbi.  Ultimately, a major factor in getting me to share my addiction with a rebbi and which made a big difference to my life was the realization that I can have a little embarrasment down here in this world or be embarrased in front of everyone for eternity.  Put in that perspective the decision comes a lot easier.  It is probably helpful to reveal it to someone who is familair with these addictions.  I am sure that Guard can probably recommend you someone in your area.

You should also probably contact one of the filter gabbaim to see if there is not a way for them to help you get the filter and/or webchaver put on your iphone.
