How to overcome urges while being alone

Discussion in 'Loneliness' started by Deleted Account, Jun 10, 2020.

  1. First, know your urges where they come from. Second, stop and delete any kind kind of porn ( even softcore). Third, stop using social media for a while, don't even search for girls on the internet, even if it may be non nude, stay away from it. Fourth, read more and more about how porn has changed your brain and how it has effected your brain; how to stop porn with good strategies without failing. Fifth, stop touching your penis, even if you get a urge don't touch it, rather do something else. Sixth, stop being alone. Seventh, read about the negative impacts of masturbation; how masturbation has destroyed your life and how you can prevent it.
     
  2. Would you classify those things as hobbies or things you just spend your time on?

  4. Honestly those are not hobbies. Hobbies when committed over time add to your skills. Drawing, painting, play an instrument, a sport, chess, photography, coding, play golf, cooking, baking, learning a new langue, fishing, hunting etc.
    Is their some hobby you have always wanted to pick but did not?
     
  5. Photography i usually do. I have learnt some new languages. And, hunting.

    The key is to do something else. Otherwise you will relapse. If you stay clean for long enough you WILL enter a flatline period and that’s what you want, if you are genuinely wanting a streak.

  8. Yes! Lockdown has ruined everything.
    I use to take photos of nature, in lockdown i cannot go out much, same with hunting and language can be learnt at home.

    Do you think porn stops you from doing stuff that you use to like doing? Also it deminish your low self esteem?
