It would help

It’s been almost 2 months since the break-up and I’ve been just devastated by it lately and I have the urge to do it because I know it would help me feel better even if it’s unbelievably short lived. It’s hard knowing that the only thing that I can think of to make me happy is the thing that made me so sad in the first place the thing that ended my best relationship. I’m gonna keep strong for now but I don’t know how to make myself less unhappy about things. What does everyone else do to keep that dopamine coming instead of porn? I need something to hold onto to keep me strong.
I would say try to find a new hobby that helps regulate that dopamine. Like running or going to the gym for example. I did that and it decreased the urge massively for me. Also, stay away from the areas that you usually masturbate in. Like if you do it in your bedroom at 10pm, go to your room at 9:30pm and go straight to sleep, depriving yourself of the opportunity entirely. Sorry about the break up, but on the bright side now is the time for complete self focus and building. Getting rid of bad habits and creating new ones. I believe in you bro, you got this 💯
