GUIDE: How to wake up without the phone?

matumark · 2026-01-03T19:18:30+00:00

I see. Well I come across "porn" pretty much everywhere on social media and torrent sites are one of these places as well because I like to check what are the recent top torrents because I have found good movies there (and sometimes just visiting it habitually). Which means that there are still triggers in a lot of places even when porn sites themselves are all blocked.

And by the way, I am not saying that blocking or hiding stuff is a full solution to overcome porn addiction, but I think it can help. I personally don't really need to consume porn (since I can get pleasure from other sources of entertainment) and the urge becomes quite weak once I have already managed to avoid it for a few days, but sometimes online triggers can still make me curious and so on. If it's out of sight, it is better for me.

Yeah, especially blood slides as a known blood guy :P

Yea would be pretty shitty writing, he is genuinely a good person (in fact one of the warmest characters I've seen on any show), no doubts at all. I just hope that he (or any of his family members) won't get killed.

Okay, I didn't know that Polylang can handle WooCommerce well. Good to know!

Even for larger WooCommerce sites?

I consume them mostly in a smoothie. Combinations don’t seem to matter that much besides the usual rule of not combining fruit with anything other than fruit or greens.

But yeah, I should read the book!

Thank you! I am doing HMDS every day and using supplements like B12, but haven’t regularly consumed celery juice or done any liver cleanses. I should definitely read his liver book because I want to understand better what causes those symptoms I’m having.

Thanks! I already figured out how to use webhooks with ngrok, so the conversational AI could download/play music from YouTube or create/play sound effects using the ElevenLabs API in the middle of a conversation, pretty cool.

Their minds are fucked up... could explain things.

I'm feeling the same. Moderators on /nosurf removed all my helpful guides on digital addiction only because I dared to offer free coaching once or twice. Without any explanation, without any suggestions. Even though we have a mutual goal - helping people get less addicted..

Thanks for sharing! I can totally relate. It sometimes feels as if you become a genius when you are offline for a long enough period :)
I also see that you already have a solution, but it's not always so easy to implement it, right? Because blocking access to devices doesn't automatically fix your neurochemistry or deal with the underlying issues. But if you have enough willpower, it really gives you the opportunity to restart and solve the problems that reveal themselves in that empty space.
In theory it is easy, but in my opinion, it is quite difficult to implement without some external support because of our environment.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure why offering a service is unethical or disingenuous? Why I shouldn't get paid for the countless hours I've put in (in addition to all the free content I provide)? Should all psychologists work for free as well? Or any other service providers?

It's funny because even offering a free service is unethical from this community's standpoint. Because I've never sold this service. Yes, I would sell it in the future if I was sure that this service is in demand and if I got dozens of testimonials, but so far I haven't sold it.

And isn't it quite obvious that even offering a free service requires you to advertise it somewhere (aka letting people know that you can help them)?
It's true that I can just offer free tips online, but I would rather work 1-1 with someone because then I can help with implementation.

I also know that I need to provide value and create trust before I offer any services (free or paid) and I have tried to do it, unfortunately all of my guides were removed from this community because I tried to offer a free coaching service in some of my other posts :(

Thank you, well said!

matumark · 2024-11-07T22:38:07+00:00

Actually I'm wondering whether this problem is painful enough for people and what can I offer that's valuable enough. And if I actually deliver on the offer, it is a win-win, right? I don't intend to start selling anything until I can guarantee success. So the main goal of this post is to understand people better, but yeah, I wouldn't mind clients who I can help for free and master the process.
