I hate this so much yet day after day I go back again and again, despite the fact it makes me feel like crap and don’t know what I’m getting out of it at all… it’s like impulsive and i know consciously how much better it is when i don’t and know how good it feels, but it’s like there’s some small dude in me somewhere that stops me thinking and makes me do what he wants D= so what can i do? I tried so many different ways to try and avoid myself going back again but nothing works… D=
ps. no heroin or similar involved =]

I manage to control just about everything that I need to (excluding chocolate, over which I admit that I have no power), and…

I guess it depends on where you’re going, doesn’t it? I mean, we all have to go home. You know Robert Frost’s definition of ‘home’? “The place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
But otherwise, that “little dude” you’re talking about sounds a lot like the “little dude” (some bigger than others, if that makes any difference) that all of us dudes have. And we’re so proud. (He definitely stops our thinking sometimes.)
Have no idea, I have this same issue, so I’ll be following. Thanks!
Keeps yourself occupied with another source of attraction.
Have you considered duct-taping yourself to a chair?;)
@lucillelucillelucille ha no i hadn’t but i might =P
i might do it in the middle of a road as well, just to piss people off… =]
and…start a new career as a hood ornament!;A real fancy one,chair and all!;)
Masturbation works for me. Until I am done with that.
@lucillelucillelucille I can see it now =] but then i wonder how many people would want a corpse duct taped to a chair on the front of their car? I’d try it, but im sure many issues would arise… =]
@ChazMaz so basically, we all have to chain masturbate to gain some kind of self control… hmm
=]
@fathippo-There are a few people I’d like as a hood ornament!lol!
@ChazMaz i wasn’t expecting this, starting tomorrow…

It would help an awful lot if you could tell us what it is you’re doing everyday that seems beyond your control. Different strategies work for different things. Can you give us a hint?
I have a rather large supply of stubborn will power and I get a certain amount of self satisfaction from not breaking weak. Sometimes I have the sweaty palms and the internal itch to deal with but I treat it like I would an addiction and give myself mental sobriety chips when I resist an urge I don’t want to give into.
