I’ve been struggling with a habit for a while, and I genuinely want to get out of this cycle.
Sometimes I manage to control it for 10–12 days and feel like I’m finally making progress. But then the urges suddenly become really really strong,

I’ve talked about it with my best friend too, and she suggested that getting into a relationships her or becoming physically close with her might help. But honestly, I don’t want to do that right now.

For anyone who has successfully broken a similar habit: what actually worked for you? How did you deal with the urges when they became really strong?

I’d genuinely appreciate practical advice, not judgment.
