Hashem Help Me Current streak: 2791 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 3956	Exercising on a regular basis helps curb the urges in general. The brain secretes dopamine when one's heart rate is raised. That means having a brain that is better regulated vis a vis stress. Plus, if one gets used to generally exercising, in a tough moment it is easier to just start the exercise protocol.

Also overall I'm much more calm and relaxed. It's a different world. Hashem please help me stay clean! Hatzlacha to all Anothershot

B"H I'm up to 26 days and I thank 'ה for every single day that I'm clean!

One thing that I have done differently this time around is decide I'm not going to use YouTube for recreational purposes. It's now been 19 days and I can truly say that my life is so much better and the fight is easier.

If anyone is on the fence regarding YouTube and feels they need it to relax or as a outlet I would recommend trying to stay away from it for 24 hours and see how it goes.
Believe me you will not die from it!

Hatzlacha to all!
