About neural pathways.

Hello guys, hopefully someone will have some insight into this as it might just help me kick this habit.

Basically in terms of nofap i can get through a week absolutely fine if i try but cme a friday afternoon or weekend i fold and give in, especially the friday afternoon. Normally i'll finnish work at 1:30 (half day friday) and come home, flip the computer on and mong out to some youtube and then a couple hours later it's all gone down the toilet and i'm back to depression central. However something changed yesterday that might have come as a discovery for me to finally beat the weekend and acquire 10 days + which normally is around the time when i can finally think of pmo as a legitimate problem and something to fight against.

Anway i was low on groceries so instead of coming straight home from work, i went to the supermarket and did another errand and low and behold when i got back home it was so bloody easy to just not watch porn and instead i got everything like laundry and washing up done and this morning woke up feeling god damn marvelous.

My question is by breaking up the cycle of my normal Friday routine did i shut off the neural pathway in my brain that goes: work-get home-you tube-coffee-porn-depression. By adding in a couple of new stages in the list the cycle was broken up temporarily and is it this that made it completely easy to just not do it?

If anyone has any insight into this please post it as if i can just get through the weekends i think i can finally kick this poison.

 

i'm not lonely in the slightest and only fap because "i can" like it's a case of subconsciously saying screw it and just doing it. My urges don't come from anywhere but to just watch porn and fap.
