Hello guys. Just a quick one from advice I got last week about urge surfing and the effectiveness of it. I know everybody’s journey is different but if you have dreaded urges that You can’t shake off look up urge surfing which is basicly acknowledging an urge and just riding it out. Just thought this was a good tactic to try as it is working for me. Good luck guys 👍

Good advice Pasta - if it works for one other person it was worth the post.

Me? Oh I have to lock myself in a cage and throw the key to the other side of the room until morning when I can be let out. A bit like how they tried to cure The Wolfman in those old hammer horror movies.

Good luck mate
