Introduction, Albert (Looking friends)

Hello everyone. My name is Albert, from Indonesia. Im 20 years old and im a student at a college. My english is not so good, so please excuse me.

This is not my first time use this app (but first time use the web version). Honestly, there is no a big change in my addiction although im use the app years ago. the long streak i have achieve is just 21 days long while mostly im quite every 3 days.

i… just feeling frustated. it’s like if i can’t change, thats i was so broken and beyond help, no matter how sorry i was and how hard i tried…

so… i think i must increase my effort. one way to do that is to really join the community. i want to engage to you guys, i looking for friends who fighting the same thing. so it will put pressure to me to destroy my addiction. please help me…

Does you tell about this to your mom and dad

That’s going to be a bad idea

thanks for your advice @modchadar but i don’t really think it’s a good idea too. first of all i not that close to my parents emotionally, i don’t really trust them too. i think i just feel embarrassed to tell them. im sure we have a different kind of parents. but thankyou for your advice

Hi brother me 7 years, I don’t know but this might help, more than YouTube videos

Free sites for books, I know it may feel a bit lame if you are just starting to read books but self help books on addiction are like God gifts, for better results ask chat gpt to find books on CBT and/or ACT techniques books for addiction.

Hope this helps
