    A quick question for everyone here:

    What are your favorite/most effective coping mechanisms when dealing with cravings?

    I am a day and a half into my 1st genuine attempt at quitting PMO after 10+ years of rabid addiction and I can't spend 5 minutes quietly without waves & waves of cravings.

    Just being on NoFap with my phone available means nearly all consuming thoughts of using porn.

    Thank god I have any willpower at all.

    Get rid of it. Before sleeping (usually when the urges double attack), lock it in your car or, if you live with someone, give your phone to this person. Tell him/her to stay with it for a while, because it's taking much of your time.

    Well, what I do is locking my phone or notebook somewhere, then running until I get tired enough so that I won't PMO. Another thing I usually do is waiting until my craves leave me alone. I know it's a bit hard to do, but it works for me...

    Thanks for the reply!

    I know doing my job without my phone isn't always possible, but there are plenty of times in life when we just don't need them. I'll take this one to heart.
