Agreed. The internet is an informative place but it can also be a haven for someone addicted to porn and random hook ups. It is my gateway to all my terrible addictive behaviors. If I am without it I will have a harder time communicating with others and getting new opportunities but if I re-evaluate every time I have relapsed it somehow leads me back to my computer/internet.

Blocking certain sites is a good idea but I know I don't have the self-control to keep those sites blocked.

My cycle of using: Good amount of time sober---temptation for pornography (computer)...temptation for sex....hook-up site visit (computer)...find someone that's using my DOC from the site (computer)...RELAPSE

The internet can be an informative place, and you can find support online as well such as here.
You don't have to be a shut-in and isolate yourself completely.
You're only human, don't feel so guilty and ashamed about being a burden or relapsing. I cannot count the times I have relapsed and put myself through nightmarish withdrawals. Keep trying, you're never alone.
