Struggling!

Hello,

remember that urges are coming and passing. Eventually those will be gone, your mind tries to convince you that PM is the only way. But that's not true, they will just wane with a time.
If you have the possibility call someone, go outside, start watching some tv series. Anything that you are keen on and will allow you to survive the hardest time.

 

The difference in going from knowing to living is in the act. This is, take action in a new direcrion. You may know this but are you really doing what it takes to rise above? Honesty is also very important. Are you lying to yourself? Are you pushing the boundaries too much?

But, there might be the aspect that you don't actually know. You may remember a few words but that doesn't necessarily mean a deeper understanding of how the thoughts impact you.

 

It’s going to take a minimum of 6-8 weeks before the urges start to subside. You just gotta push through

 

You have a lot more power over urges than you realize. Make sure your not actively prolonging the urge with your own thoughts. Worst case, you can always physically disengage from the situation.

 

It's similar situation to people addicted to cigarettes. The majority of them know it's dangerous for their health but their are still into it. It's similar to what eagle rising has said - it's very important to put knowledge into practice. If you are still struggling and have some particular issues, let us know here
