So I’m on vacation currently, and haven’t had any urges. I got to a week and am feeling awesome. But I know that once I get home from vacation, the urges will get really bad again. Is there any way to avoid this, and if not, how do I keep fighting through the urges? Any advice is always appreciated! Good luck to all!
Beliefs influence your reality, if you truly believe you’re more tempted at certain locations, then it will be true, if you don’t believe that, it will also be true. And as general advice that should go without saying is, have goals, keep yourself productive, occupied, with something just as good or better than this addiction, for me this is gym, cycling, and becoming rich long term. Eliminate anything that might trigger temptations on your phone, even if it’s social media, be aware of your thoughts, if you catch yourself fantasising about it then immediately force yourself to think of something else and be genuinely disgusted at the thought, and live a more physically aftive lifestyle. The more of something you do, eventually it becomes second nature, a habit, and the goal is not to eliminate this bad one, but to replace it with a better one. Good luck, hope this helps.
