Replacing dopamine with endorphins

Day 1

So this is my second day. I’ve been having trouble sleeping, and i think it’s because of the abstinence? But meanwhile, i’ve been doing these stupid breathing exercises whenever i’m laying in bed and i feel the urge to masturbate. I need more solid replacement plans. I can’t just get up and do pushups. I already read often and simply distracting my mind with video games or tv have been keeping me up more. On top of everything, i’ve started working late nights so my sleep schedule just doesn’t exist. I’m trying hard!! Dedication takes a lot of willpower and i’m just taking it literally one hour at a time. But i can’t sleep when i want to. And i need to be awake when the sleepiness actually hits. I am a troubled individual rn. Calling into the void for help. -D 🫩

Yeah it's going to feel like a constant battle with your thoughts. For me personally it usually starts at around day 3 or 4 and what helps is to make sure you stay active. Plan out your days and the worst will be when ur idle so make sure you have a game plan of what to do when urges come because they will come. Try not to swarm your mind with this battle 24/7 and good luck you got this!
