Hello guys I've been surviving for 5 days since now. I made a big decision not to relapse again. But I have a hard situation right now. My family travelled and left me with my dad and with so speed internet. Its like having the stuff that u are addicted to a good quality of it and no one is around and u are eagrly want it. Your dopamine surges makes u craving. I know for some of u they always deal with such problem and managed to solve it. For me Its not always happen. So my brain want me to do it that time. I should take this chance. What should I do? Any Tipps please?. I want u to know my feelings. I feel like I'm happy and relieved and want to do it. How to not do it with such feelings!
I have been living alone for quite a while now and let me tell you this - the urges will leave if you just let them go. DO NOT TRY TO DISTRACT YOURSELF FROM THE URGES. This is the biggest mistake of all. You think you are defeating the urges but in fact you are giving them strength. Best way is to let them flow, just like a river, let the thoughts and urges flow for 5-10 minutes and do not give them much attention especially in your sub-conscious mind. The second thing would be to remember all the past times and how it ended - you might feel now that you have all the freedom that you want, but what happens after all this??? It is nothingness and void in your soul. It is bad and worthless. For WHAT?? For minutes of pleasure?? NOT WORTH IT. I hope this helps you and stay strong.
Thanks for this helpful reply. U made me more able to handle this. You are right about the urges will leave if I let them leave. I will keep doing my best. Do u have any tipps for being home alone?
Go scare yourself. Go run. Go have a cold shower. Go talk to someone ( on the phone if u can't meet up). Ur brain is craving excitement not necessarily p
I would say avoid at all costs being alone, as that could become an easy entrance for the urges. But if you happen to stay alone for some reason, always try to be productive. I have found cutting on movies and TV shows to be very helpful and I almost haven't watched a movie or a TV series for the better part of 2 years. Watching these could stimulate the urges in one way or another and I have found cutting on them to be very helpful in my journey. I try to focus on my uni work and try to educate myself through online courses, youtube channels and productive and healthy relationships. I hope that helps.
I did that too. I stopped watching movies also. But shifted to cartoon and documentary films. Thanks for your advice
Grab your dumble and exercise, if you're feeling lonely, just text some chicks around. other than that, it is just a mind game, and how you change your focus. Good luck bro! Don't forget to take a deep breath every time you're tempted.
