Urges

[Dope4]

So I’m on day 38 hardmode as of now, and every day my urges have been getting stronger and stronger. I wake up with a raging boner, and get headaches throughout the day not to mention, I’m not really happy. I’ve also noticed I’ve been craving sweets a lot more. Can anyone tell me if there is a light at the end of the tunnel because right now I’m in the darkness.

Yesterday i had enourmous urges, i almost relapsed, i was in the boredom and alone in the silence of the night, so instead of relapsing i did the same thing you're doing, i came to the forum and expressed myself. Result, the urges are gone and i thank God i didn't relapse yesterday. There is a light in the end of the tunel, let the urges come and go, meditate, take a shower, be aware, look at yourself in the mirror and ask about what the heck are you about to do. If you resist i'm sure you'll feel better soon!

Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been taking cold showers and working out every day to help redirect my sexual energy.

The urges are going to be there, what matters are how you control and react to them. It takes a lot of practice and lots of trial and error.

Your headaches will stop . You are having them bcz you have stopped giving your brain dopamine shot by pmo . Keep the soberity . Urges will go slowly . Target for 3 months first and keep goin on . It will take time

I believe urges can be controlled, on the front end. Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, actions determine outcomes. Urges are feelings. If we can control our thoughts, we can control our urges. I know this can be done, because I have done it. I don't have urges.

Imagine that the urges are a beast and you live in a forest near the beast. You have 2 options when dealing with the beast. You can make sure that ever time you leave your house you are suited up for war or you can tame the beast. Which option would you choose?

I tamed the beast. I still remember. I see things that trigger my memory, but they don't trigger an urge. That is how we can live in real peace.
