Hi.

Let's change those words around and make them into something positive.

How.

How am I going to change to feel less dirty? ( Take a paper and a pen and really write your answers down. How will you change that feeling? Make this contract with yourself. No one else needs to see it for the moment)

How will I change the feeling of disgust? (write your answers down. How will you change that feeling? Make this contract with yourself. No one else needs to see it for the moment)

How will I stop? ( Pretend for a moment to imagine what you look like when you are free from this addiction. How do you feel? What are you doing? What do you have? Are you smiling?)

How is a powerful word because it gives you the tools to start the change process. You have already taken the first steps here and admin has given you the nr to call. Use it and talk to some of the good people here. You will find that in a short period of time you will be in a completely different place with your life and you will be able to deal with this addiction much better. There is hope and there is a change to be had. Just embrace it and go with it. You will see.

Best
