Home alone with my urges, help!

Man, the number of times I've been in your situation! I'm left home alone like 2 days a week, and I often relapse. All I tell myself on days where I succeed is 'if I can make it through today clean, I can make it through any day clean'.

Think how strong you'll feel if you make it through today! You're home alone, use that to your advantage. Study, get work done, relax, eat snacks. Just enjoy the peace and quiet and forget the stresses of life

 

Time alone yes that's tough.. I live alone and days alone have been tough since I started.

Have you got any goals you want to achieve? Learning something new, doing something artistic?

Will be tough but hang in there!

 

Read a book ! Distrct your mind fro urges

 

That's it for me.. how will you feel tomorrow will be worth the pain today

 

do this, its weird but actually works

 

Porn blockers, video games, napping (and early bedtimes), ice packs against your balls, exercise, hanging out with friends, reading, housework, whatever else you can think of. Fill your time with other things. Do not allow yourself access to PMO content. Period.

 

Porn blockers
A wooden spoon (whack your palm if you feel an urge to use that hand)
Sit on your hands

 

Really?

Forget that simplistic shit just think about why you're doing this.. why it's important for you to stop something which harms your well-being and from living the life you want and feeling happy and confident in yourself.. every time you get the urges, try and think about why you decided to do stop the porn, what you lose from it and how much better you feel without it.

 

If it's day time and you are free, then pick up a book and go to a park and read it in the sunshine. Eat something with it and pass the time.
If it's night time, throw away your mobile, do push ups till you are tired, and then sleep. Just sleep.
I've given you the secret to success bro, enjoy it

 

In the moment long term thinking isn’t that effective
