I tell myself to stop.

How do I stop doing something that kinda turned into an addiction ? I try and stay off of it for about two days and then I feel like I have to go back and every time I tell myself it’s the last time

Sorry if my English is not good it’s not my first language 🤎🤎

your english is good.

HEALING FROM AN ADDICTION

MAKE IT INCONVENIENT. Place any barriers that you can that make you struggle to access your addiction. 

JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP. Either meeting in real life or online can put things in perspective for you that motivate you to quit.

HAVE A GOAL. Do you want to be more faithful to your religion? Do you want to be there for your loved ones, instead of the other way around? Do you want to advance in your career? Tie the decision of quitting to a goal you are motivated to achieve.

ASK YOURSELF WHY? What does this addiction provide with me in life that I am so inclined to go back to despite it not aligning with what I want? Is there anything else that can replicate the same feeling but not as self-destructive?

REMOVE TEMPTATIONS. Anything in your environment that gives you easy access to that addiction, or motivates you to be inclined to it, you need to extract it without looking back. 

SLOWLY CEASE IT. Do not just randomly go cold turkey on an addiction, because you are going to go back to it every time. I know this sounds weird, but just slowly decrease the use of it or set certain dates when you allow yourself to, and just keep decreasing it until you’ve built up the discipline. 

DISTRACT YOURSELF. Fill up your timetable and schedules to the absolute brim. This doesn’t have to be going out activities, but rather tasks that you need or want to do at home.

COPING STRATEGIES FOR CRAVINGS. This can be similar to the feeling that addiction gives you, a reminder as to why you want to quit or take preventative measures so you do not want to give in.

Just because someone wants to sleep with you doesn't always mean that you should.

Whump Prompt #1289

Whumptober #21: Restraints

Your character has an incredible level of self restraint. They can take as many jabs/jokes at their expense that anyone can throw at them regardless of their intent. They never budge or get riled up - maybe they’re able to throw back some light jokes if the situation calls for it, or maybe they just use the jabs as motivation to get the job done sooner. They’re unflappable; they simply do not care what others think of them.

So imagine the caretakers' shock when they get a call from the hospital from your character. Maybe they’re very casual and calm about the situation;  a little bruised (or maybe worse off) but the caretaker is worried nonetheless. When a bar fight is mentioned, their worry turns to confusion. The caretaker knows for a fact your character would never instigate a fight, neither would they join one… right?

Well, as it turns out your character has great restraint, until someone makes a terrible joke at the caretakers expense.

"Still, you should see the other guy."

We need to take precautions to protect our spiritual vision as much as we do to preserve our eyesight.

Once you acknowledged a deep loathing something inspired in you, there was no unknowing it.
