Direct answer: A blocker may fail because it covers the wrong routes, is too easy to bypass, or is expected to remove the urge itself.
Why this feels harder than it should
Repeated bypassing can add shame on top of the original behavior.
The belief shift
The failure may be in the setup or the expectation.
What to do next
Cover the real first-step apps, reduce alternate routes, and decide what action starts the moment the block appears.
Where Override fits
Override is built for the acute window. It can create temporary friction around selected apps and guide you into an active reset without publishing the full intervention method online.
It is not a replacement for therapy, accountability, community, or deeper recovery work. It is the tool you prepare for the moment those supports are hardest to access.
Prepare before the next urge.
Set up Override while you are calm.
