Hi SBS.
Thanks bro. Welcome back.
Urge Surfing is awesome. There are a ton of YouTube videos. It is taking me a while to figure it out. It is very well known in the psychology world so you might find a lot of resources online on Urge Surfing from Psychology sites. There are many variations on it. I've been stumbling for a while but now it is amazing as I've made my own variation.
My own variation on urge surfing is that I intend to connect with my soul essence center that is in the center of my chest. So I am not observing from "nothing" but I am observing from the awareness/conext of being in my soul essence center. This is the variation that is making the biggest difference for me. But we are all unique, so I'd encourage anyone to keep working on their own variation on urge surfing.
Basically it is not soo much urge surfing per se. But more like holding space for myself. Holding space so that this trauma and addiction stuff can be processed / transmuted.
What is making the biggest impact for me:
Emotional Trauma work: Dealing with my childhood traumas, parentings, bad experiences, etc. I am basically self-studying psychology to some degree. I found this guy's videos awesome:

Great book while I haven't fully read it just parts that resonates: Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, highly recommend it. Made a big impression on me.
Multi-dimensional work: While not everyone will resonate with this, but I am also intending to clear myself in the multi-dimensional world, revoking contracts, consent, etc made with some negative entities and beings that used to syphon my energies from the "astral" and other realms. Ongoing clearing.
Seeing someone 1x per week: This is making a huge difference. But I'd say this is high risk, high reward. As the first 2 people I saw they weren't good. I feel like I've even taken steps back because of it. Soo definitely need to discern and follow inner guidance to find someone to help you with. Also not cheap. But definitely something that I'd say was necessary for my progress. I couldn't have done it without this. Or alternative I'd still be a few years behind if just doing this work on my own.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck bro! Love your user name. Step By Step. Indeed we will de-manifest this addiction step by step. Stay awesome!
