Are you trying something new to try to stop? 
Same old same old, might need a little turbo charge.
May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career

I think today is day 2 
struggling a lot. Now their was a tool i was using as a screen time blocking tool that I went around so it's no longer sustainable to use I am on a Samsung.. not sure what I am going to do about it. 
I used it mostly to keep me off apps and websites at specific times....
Might need to get a diffrent device.  Might just use the filters tools to block the website outright and not use anymore going to think on what will work best might just look for a new tool.

Does anyone know of a good screen time app that works on Samsung devices that can't be circumvented by split screen. Or free form windows. Somthing for setting limits by time of day or hours used...  with some way to password lock it...

Image filtering: does wizmage work on your device? I use this chrome extension on Windows and it is a lifesaver.



for screen time, your filter doesn't have an option for that?

Not looking for image filtering I got covenet eyes for that.
i specifically was looking for an android app that you can set app screen time limits on that can't be circumvented... to replace the one i had... anyways I found an app that looks promising called lock me out I am going to look into it a bit more.

As I understand, any app based restriction like that is limited. Maybe switch to an Iphone? The screen time is more powerful, and combined with covenant eyes would be a pretty good setup.
We are not the same people we once were. We are not so locked into our urges that we have no choice. We can choose to give in or choose to win this battle today. We do not want to give in, the pleasure of giving in is false. 
With Hashem on our side our victory is inevitable; the only way we can lose is by giving up on playing the game.

Definitely thinking about it maybe a pixle I don't know If I want to get a iPhone again but it might be the best solution... I dont think stock android has the same issues as Samsung and xiomi but it still has more problems with 3rd party apps than the built stuff Apple has... not sure...
