ADDICTION IS CONTROLLING ME

Don't worry, kiddo. You are doing amazing . You let it control you. I believe you can accomplish your goals.

 

You are a normal male -- like all the other males on the site .... and on the earth.

Here's some tips from other Fapstronauts that I've copied on pasted onto my Word Processor:

1. BUILD A NEW LIFE (pursue hobby you love; exercise; etc.)

LifeWorthLiving -- “I read a quote a while back, "don’t count the days, make the days count". In other words make each day valuable by making changes.

There is a truth in that. If we are simply counting days, waiting for them to pass, we are likely to fall because the project is simply one of resistance against PMO.


But if we realize that the real project is rebuilding our lives - using energy previously wasted on addiction to build relationships with God, others and self, then we are making the days count / valuable. Big shift in perspective.”

2. PUT SOME NOTES AROUNG YOUR COMPUTER (or Carry 3x5 cards/notes throughout the day = constant influence)

LifeWorthLiving -- It's been my experience that when temptation is running strong, it's my limbic brain trying to resist change, running auto pilot. Those times have become teaching moments, where I have learned what I am truly made of. Letting my executive brain become aware of what is happening and taking the limbic brain out of auto pilot. Saying with authority, "Porn [or PMO] is not an option"....... "Not going there, period". ”

Those interior affirmations get me through the urges and open up another day.

Over time the power of urge waves do pass though and it becomes much easier to control an urge.

3. Go Outside if Tempted

4. Go to NoFap whenever tempted ................ assist or encourage or find some posts to "Like"
