Ive been ‘signed up‘ with gye for a while now (since covid), but i haven't really used the site. Now Ive reached a place where im ready to jump in and kick this addiction for good. 
 i got the gye app and started reading, starting the f2f program and the 90 day challenge. Now im posting here. 
Ive struggled with p&m for about 6/7 years now. At first it was p when i was home and m when i was in yeshiva. I did have a smartphone for a few months in mesivta, but i got rid of it when i thought i was going to get caught. 
themthen i got a new (‘kosher‘) phone and found a loophole. And it was p&m daily for many years. [the loophole was literally just for p i wasn't able to access gye or anything else]
i hotgot instrumentalin touch with a partner through gye and got the loophole taken care of. For about 8 months it was only m and every time i went home i would ‘catch up‘. Then i found a new loophole and back to square one. 
now Ive been in Israel for a while and dont have that loophole, but i still desperately needed my fix. So i found a new loophole/backdoor. 
now that im getting ready to go back to america i realized what a mess Ive been making out of my life (finally see how p&m where at the root of getting kicked out of a few yeshivas, not overbearing rabbis who where out to get me)
i got  back in touch with my partner, i spoke to my father, blocked all the loopholes/backdoors and i downloaded the gye app. Im going home for bein hazmanim soon and looking forward to the first one in years without YouTube, movies, forums and porn. 
i started talking with hashemhelpme and look forward to being part of the gye community. 

Day 8. 2nd day home. 
and now that initial enthusiasm is gone. Dont get me wrong, im not rethinking my commitment, but now im feeling that fatigue for lack of better word. Like the need for nicotine (i checked it wasn't that) or an unsettled feeling. And yes, i made sure to go do something else i.e. build the sukkah and it mostly went away. 
but i know that now this will be coming more frequently. I guess it was a gift from Hashem that the last two days were pretty easy with no triggers or urges. But now the warm-up stage is over and its fight time. 
last time i had a more significant clean streak (15 days) i fell when the urges came back again and again and i got tired of fighting and caught off guard. 
i know that the f2f program is designed to help with that, but it doesn't work so well or at all on the app on my phone. And i want to limit my use of the computer because that's already more dangerous. Its filtered but i dont know how well and id rather not find out. 
ill keep posting and just ride this out. 

Following this thread and rooting for you! 

I wish I would’ve came to GYE and taken this seriously when I was at your stage of life. 

Day 14
I'm sure we've all seen those articles/shiurim/stickers/spray-paint-on-on-the-side-of-highway about gedolim saying that there's an issur yichud with unfiltered technology. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought "very cute, they're just trying to scare us into not using email or shopping online". 
But then I saw a few posts here (sorry i don't remember who wrote them so i cant give a shoutout) about people who actually act like that. So i figured that it sounds like a good idea, I mean, if I'm struggling with internet use why not distance myself a bit more? But i wasn't thinking that it would make much of a difference. 
However, last night I was feeling 'triggered-lite' and i needed to order some shoes online. And look up a phone number. And check kashrus on a certain beer. And look up a certain stores hours. And etc etc etc... and i would've done all that, and then probably would've ended up going from one thing to the next and ruining my streak. But then I remembered my 'issur yichud' and that no-one else was up. So now i can proudly update my streak instead of resetting the count. (turns out that I didn't die from not taking care off all that last night)
I'm sure if you've been here a bit then this isn't a chiddush for you but if you're new here, give it some thought.
