What are the best tools to stop a craving when it starts ? Please help/ideas

Hi,

I would like to start building a process to stop a craving of P when it starts in your mind.
For example, even though I have K9, no social media, I know in about 10 days or so I will start waking up in the middle of the night with sexual dreams and I will start to look on the internet for any hacking tool to reach P content. I feel like I need to share my issue as soon as I can now and try to ask for help to build tools.

From my experience when it starts I can't control anything, my mind drives me like I would fight someone just to see a little bit of content. I used to put phones in a box and put the keys in mail box outside the building...

I would really appreciate any tips, tricks to stop a craving. Preventive habits are also welcomed.

I meditate before sleep and try to create new path of pleasure with books, friends, activities but it is hard when a craving starts to jump on another activity. I have read that speaking with authority could activate the pre-frontal cortex but after a few seconds of craving I feel paralyzed completly and I feel a rush of sensations in the right back of my brain.

Thank you

 

Thanks for your message.
The problem is that I would do anything to reach content in that moment and because my pre-frontal cortex activity is shut down in just a few seconds I am paralyzed and a simple action just like putting your shoes and going out to run is impossible to think about. It is the definition of addiction, you know you are going to do something bad to yourself but you do it anyway, you have no decision power.

Also why Nofap does not allow scientist and researchers to comment on this website ? Like to learn from us about issues and then to share ideas. I am going to try to ask us, they are plenty of Addiction researchers and Brain Plasticity researchers in the world, and they would be happy to comment here for some reward.
I mean a senor member with a PhD in Neuroscience or Neuroplasticity is kind of usefull on this website ....
Why there is no Group about Meditation ?
Why I can' t create a group ?

Thanks

Super Great advice, thank you, Yes will need to strengthen our willpower ! I will add it to the list. Also it is important to note that willpower and logical thinking are not possible if a bigcraving happens because the pre-frontal ocrtex is shut down complettly and we are paralyzed so in this moment, it could be good to have other tools, physical that stop the craving being bigger and bigger, for example I would love to have the same sensation than in the movie INCEPTION when Leonardo Di Caprio push the guy dreaming from his chair and fall in the Cold Water basically if we have a button to do that or tools to do that it is amazing
