Respected Member
I can't stop relapsing man. I haven't felt well in a long time. I feel lethargic, depressed and very high anxiety.
I don't know if I'm going to quit this. I've been trying for years.
Thanks. I appreciate the help.Unfortunately it's not going too well. I've been on a 3 days porn binge.You'd need to stop P.
P is motivational and will build strong desires to fulfill O through M. The less P, the less M, the less O.
I find that calmness is the antithesis to agitation for P.
When the cravings hit, give yourself 15 to 30 mins of calming activities without giving in. Generally the emotional wave will pass and you're safe again.
Listen to soft music
Go for a slow walk
Meditate on breath focus
V cold shower (it's scientifically dopaminergic)
Drink cold water
Come to RN and blog long and with great detail
Yes, it's true.The main purpose of dopamine is to motivate. Pleasure is really just a side effect.
If you burn through your limited motivation resource, you'll be unable and unwilling to do anything else.
Without motivation you'll be down. You'll be negative. You'll be depressed.
It's more important than energy. It's the very essence of looking forward to tomorrow. Without it the future is bleak. With it, the future is rosy. It's more important than gold.
You gotta save your dopamine for doing the right things that would help you.
Get a hold of yourself
You can do this
You want good
You just need to want good more than you want PMO
You can do this.
