Hello, all.

Unstructured computer use is my struggle and it can lead to urges and falls. I came home late last night and, instead of winding down in front of my computer, I davened maariv and learned. That is a big deal for me.

As someone who struggled with unstructured and [supposed to be] structured computer use for years, I urge you to make a even bigger deal about your achievement. The twisted "magnetism" of the computer is incredibly hard to fight, especially when tired.
KOMT!

Thanks, @alex94.

Friends,
Please understand that the work that I have done to slowly become less reliant on computer/Internet use as a way to wind down or spend free time has not happened in the last 15 days. The discovery, reflection, brainstorming, and work has happened over the last 5 years, but more specifically in the last 6 months. Never think that because you had a 'fall' you must not have made any progress.
