I try to go days without viewing pornography or reading it. But then, you see, I am always on my phone. I use it to communicate with people. To study for school when notes are provided in soft copy. To do research for my online job. And somewhere in the midst of all that I stumble "not so accidentally" on those sites and I'm back to square one.

I've tried to put those filters that block bad content out but I always go back and remove them. And it does not help that when I get depressed (which happens often) it somehow pushes me more strongly towards porn and masturbation, which makes me depressed all over again. And so the vicious cycle continues.

I am a book worm, love books. When I get depressed I can't sleep and so I read prolifically. Maybe a book a day. Sometimes well onto the night as well. Most of my books are romance novels and the romance theme might be another trigger for my seeking out pornography. Not sure. Does anyone else have this problem with the books they read?

Anyway, sorry this has been so long.I digressed. I just want to know if any of you guys have had the same dilemma: use your phone and keep being tempted versus stop using the phone and be cut off from a vital piece of technology. And any advice that goes along with it. Again, sorry for taking up so much of your time and if you made it to the end, thank you so much for listening to me.
