Hey everyone,

it is my first post in this community. I have been struggeling like 3 to 4 years now with m and p and I tried to fix it and made some decent progress, just the last months I am stuck. Sometimes I had a streak of 2 weeks or 3 but not more then that. I decided to at first quit p and afterward concern myself about m. But the last weeks I failed like 2 times every week and everytime when I watched p I watched it for hours. Since I have a filter I can't enter it through the sides, rather I download a certain app to watch it on. So I tried to block the app with an app blocker, but I just could deinstall and reinstall the app and then the appblocker didn't blocked the app anymore. So currently I am blocking the google play store, with an app called AppBlock, but the thing is, there is a delay of some seconds until the appstore is blocked and during this time I can install this app and then watch p... I tried different appblocker too but it was always the same with the delay. Maybe anyone has a suggestion how to solve this issue?
I am just really desperate to get over with p because when I watch it, I watch it for hours and afterward I really feel wasted. Soon I am going to turn 19 and it is really a burden, because it also effects my studies and I want to keep me for my future wife, and not wasting me for any random women on the internet, because I know that p and m can have serious effects on ones future marriage...

I am happy of every anserwer I get. Thank you to everyone!

Are you in yeshiva or are you working? Why do you need a smart phone? or any device with internet?

Thank you for your answer!
So basically I am not in Yeshiwa or working. My family isn't religous (but my mother is jewish...) so, I didn't grew up religious and with little Judaism, but like 5 years ago I had interest in my roots and became more and more observant... and after the summer break I am going to continue my last year of highschool (I have 13th years of school) and it is a non jewish highschool, so I need a device with internet for school and for doing tasks at home.

I had a similar problem. What worked is a combo of accountability software that informs people you trust if you looked at stuff AND also MDM device management. I forgot where I found the guide but I managed to make my old smartphone a kosherphone.

Also works is BlockerHero. If you need more help, I can assist in setting up as I have a ton of experience trying to beat filters haha so I know the loopholes (though sometimes I find others again when I lose self-control then I patch it up afterwards).

Maybe also reach out to TAG tag.org/

Phones are a particularly pernicious attacker in getting us to fall since they are always with us.

Interesting I had issues with my filter so I installed the appblock app to patch up some loopholes from my filter and it really helps they have a few options to make it very strict
