    Dear junk arousal recovery friends,

    I present you here 2 articles that will blow your mind and that are scientifically validated. Albeit these studies were done on smokers to kill the cravings, the method is totally general and applicable to any addiction.

    First article:

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/.../201204/can-mindfulness-help-you-quit-smoking

    Comment: I find amazing how minfulness beated by thrashing traditional methods to stop addictions.

    Second article:

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...mindfulness-makes-the-brain-immune-temptation

    Comment: article mentions porn addiction as a potential field of applicability.

    Download the audio file of the urge surfing technique linked in the article. Keep it saved on your device and play it whenever needed.

    How did I find out this info? I was listening to this podcast and the interviewed mentioned it.

    Really like the mindfulness acronym RAIN from the first article. I’m definitely going to be applying that in my day to day and especially when cravings hit me.
