I hate this. I’m stuck in a cycle where I keep telling myself, “just one last time.” I’ll remember some insanely hot video from years ago and convince myself to watch it. It’s killing me. I feel like I have zero self-control. I was doing well for a week after I first downloaded the app, but then I told myself, “let me just watch a few more before I actually quit.” I really want to let go of this shit. I can’t even last a day now.
I know what it’s like to be in this cycle. It was the most frustrating feeling. My suggestion is to do some deep thinking and think about where you want to be and the direction your life will take if you keep saying “one last time before I actually do the work”. Time will pass, and time waits on nobody. If you can’t break the cycle for you at first, start by breaking it off for those you love, for your future wife, your future kids, your family, for the life you want to ultimately get to. Every time you say “one last time” you’re postponing the time you will get there and like I told you, time will not wait for you, time will pass. The pain of regret will be greater than the pain of discipline and self control. You can do this. Take it one day at time. Start going to the gym, if you can’t go to the gym, do body exercises at home. Start going on walks. Start learning new skills. Point is, keep your body and mind busy, so busy that you don’t even have time to think about it. When you do rest, rest in a place that will make it hard to relapse. Also, you must change your environment and remove the triggers from your life. That is all I have to say. Hope that helps.
