I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily

I have some guys in my gym that wear very similar. If you have generally free-range of motion, you'll be fine. Will just be hotter than normal. Walmart has some decent clothes for not a lot of money that you can get a set of and just use that. Nobody at the gym is going to judge you for wearing the same thing every day.

I don’t get what you do there

This depends on what you are looking to get done. Each person is there for their own thing, and it depends on their goals. Weight-loss, muscle toning, strength training, socializing....

I don't do anything on the treadmills or bikes because I structure my weights to do the cardio bits as well. This is just a personal preference because I get bored and zone out during long walks, runs, or rides.

Get a plan together and be consistent with it. I have 3 plans in circulation depending on what my needs and schedule is. Arms, legs, and combination. If I have the time, I'll do arms Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Legs will happen on Tuesday and Thursday. If I know I can't get to things on a timely basis because of schedules I'll do a combination MWF. I'm flexible with my time so I don't beat myself up for not going.

I could do home workouts just fine, but the cost of equipment is too high and I need the space in the house, which I don't have. I'd love to get a place that has a finished basement, or unfinished, and have a place to go that doesn't cost me monthly. The only issue with home workouts is replacing broken or worn equipment. Also, my gym has a row machine that I wouldn't have access to or money to purchase. Just little things like that. Weights are super expensive for full sets.

If you have the funds, I'd recommend finding a local gym that has a trainer that you can utilize. Even if it's for just a few sessions to get you going.

Good luck if you decide to get into it. Don't make it part of your personality and have a goal.

It is considered spam if it's a copy/paste of the same message that continues to get deleted. This kind of thing would have been deleted on a basic forum. They were posting how to get around porn blocks, not asking for addiction resources.

I appreciate the effort. I had an addiction and it took me several years to get out of it without all of the resources we have today. Just understand how the internet is working. Post where people ask, and if it's deleted like this, don't be too surprised.

Your heart may be in the right place but remember:

Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

Welcome to the internet, where one thing you do not speak against is Porn or it's addictive characteristics.

Also, it seems like you kept trying after having your comment deleted. Mods don't like people attempting to spam the same thing. If your message is removed, take the message and move on, unless you feel like getting blocked like this. Unlike Reddit, there is no oversight on mods here. You can push it up the chain, but you might run into the mod of the community being the mod of the instance as well.

But my google home tells me that the microphone is disabled when I say the magic phrase. How can you not trust that?

I already ditched Chrome and Gmail over this kind of garbage. Most, probably not, but the privacy and security minded will find alternatives.
