I cant stop thinking about prn
Of course you can’t and if your try, you’ll create a phobia, becoming miserable. It’s like trying to get to sleep at night: the more you try, the harder it becomes. it dosen’t matter if you think about prn for 90% of your life, it’s what you’re thinking that’s important. If you’re thinking “Oh I love to look at it” or “when will I be free” you will be miserable. Your you’re instead thinking “YIPPEE! I’m free!” you will be happy.
When does the monster die
The dopamine flush leaves your body very rapidly, but it’s impossible to tell when your body will cease suffering from the slight physical sensation of dopamine withdrawal. That empty, insecure feeling is identical to normal hunger, depression or stress. All prn does is increase the level of it. This is why users who stop using the willpower method are never quite sure if they’ve kicked it, even after their body has ceased suffering dopamine withdrawal. If suffering normal hunger or stress, their brain is still telling them this is a valid reason to claim their entitled session. The point being that you don’t have to wait for the craving to go, since it’s so slight that we don’t even know it’s there, only knowing it as a feeling of wanting. When you leave the dentist do you wait for your jaw to stop aching? Of course you don’t you get on with life. Even though your jaw is still aching you are elated.
