Weird trick to avoid relapsing that worked for me.

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by maman the sleeping beast, Aug 21, 2019.

  1. When i come from work at like 11pm i used to jack off due to late night browsing and by 3 am i was already depressed and had relapsed. This vicious cycle continued for a year but i randomly thought of an ingenious but weird solution;

    Step 1; come from work,
    remove my pants and boxers and wash my lower body with cold water if im too lazy to do it in a shower

    Step 2; teach my brain that if i pour cold water in a cup and place it in my bedroom window it means time to sleep.

    Step3; before going to bed i think about what happened throughout the day in a third person view.

    Step 4; if step 2 and 3 fail and i dont go to sleep early due to browsing i make sure that i wear jeans that fit well after i do the cold lower body routine.

    Step 5; if i get an urge from step 4 i determine what is causing it by following the chart below, or by going to the toilet to relieve myself and wash my lower body again.

    Step 6; if the urge is strong enough i run to my wifi router and disable it if i cant reach it i have multiple blockers and if that fails i repeat this quote 5 times while rubbing my lips in a circular motion around your mouth (weird i know, but it works )
    " self control leads to self respect and self respect is the lead factor in courage ".

    Step 7; sleep by 2:00 am and if i sleep later than that then i repeat step 5 and 6 repeatedly as required

    Step 8; if im depressed i laugh even if i dont want to i laugh myself forcefully and tell myself im too strong for this s*it, trust me this works.

    during the day i remember at work to greet people even if its hard for me

    also this might not work for everyone so good luck brothers and sisters

    My strategy is just brutal no.
     
  4. That chart is good, I totally get it.

    I'm at the computer right now and really tempted to browse some p-subs.... that is always the way the brain sneakily gets you back into it. Trying to resist.

    There is a school of thought in the philosophy of stoicism which advises for introspection during suffering.
    Feelings of adversity should be meditated on.
    So you would stop at the arousal stage and examine your thoughts and feelings and existential state.
    So instead of trying to relieve stress you will examine it internally.
    and hopefully come to some sort of resolution before moving on to the justification and surrender stages.

    I think "mindfulness" which we hear so much of today gets a lot of its system from stoicism
