Hug tight* (if accepted)

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this,buddy. (I'm a sh warrior too) am super proud of you for reaching out for help.

First of all; the urges can not be taken away forever. Thye will keeps popping up when you get triggered, but we can find some alternatives to do instead of sh.

What do you like to do? (that brings you fun)

Sending strength and healing beams

P.S When I feel like I'm going to relapse, I do the five minutes. 

Like I'm gonna wait five minutes before I do it. If I can make that five minutes, I'm gonna try to wait another.
