What is the best way to resist sudden urges and cravings they are so strong im trying best to resist it but i fear that they get the best of me
You'll find lots of great advice if you look around on these forums! My best advice for just getting started is, when faced with a strong urge, try to remove yourself from the situation and refocus. For example, leave your house, leave your phone, unplug your internet, etc., and don't come back until the urge is truly gone. Over time your sense of control over the urge will grow more and more, so extreme measures like this may become less and less necessary -- but it will take a long, long time. If you have the ability to install porn blockers, I found that quite helpful at the beginning. Consider journaling about your urges and asking yourself, "what do I really need right now?" -- what is causing this urge? If it's just habit, how can I break the habit? If it's not just habit, what negative emotions am I experiencing that need to be addressed head-on? Finally, the most important thing to me is: no matter how many times you fail and relapse, commit to getting back up again, and trying again. You must make this commitment!!! Good luck and welcome!
