    Without going outside, when u are alone in room n the urge come n u can't stop it
    ...what's best possible solutions u have to sublimate the urge? Would like to hear by all.
     
  2. NoFap panic button to begin with. Then I'd suggest listening to your favorite music that makes you wanna dance, for the energy boost, and do some household chores while you listen to it. I usually get a lot done that way and feel good for actually doing something useful around the house.

    Good luck on continuing your amazing streak!

    I agree, music definitely does distract me. I'm on the computer a lot doing work and it's extremely hard to not watch porn because it's extremely easy to get to. Normally just put my beats on and enter into a different state of mind.

    i work or not work alone from home all of the time and could thus pass my days and night draining my heart, soul, and ballsack of all my life's juices. to my mind, rebooting is not really about creating lacking opportunities, but about turning you inner and outer life in a different direction.
    next, i don't really "believe" in urges, though i may have 'm all the time (in fact, i'm more of a recovering S-addict than P-addict, truth be told.) thing is, i don't believe they're actually physical urges -- but more emotional needs that get interpreted by our brain as needing a physical outlet. so... to nip 'm in the bud... i try to serve my heart wholesome but intense fare... that make me more me and less dog. trick is to recognize that urges are not all that real: it's just that we're rerouting things sexually, within ourselves... and then find it hard to snap out of it.
    next, there will be particularly weak moments -- i had some last night. they're just moments and the trick is to get past them. (i often go to the health club but frankly by the time i walk in the door of that place i'm already over it and really don't have to work out.)
    lastly, it's all about prevention. if that's no longer an option and i'm really urged up for days and spend most of my energy fighting evil spirits rather than living my life... i feel i'm already past sanity or redemption that day, must bite the dust, and fight another day. for after all it's all about nipping things in the bud.

    good luck!

  7. I do this a lot as well. Will go read someone's journal or a Introduction and boost persons... while boosting myself.
