What to do when you can't do something else?
So... i'll give the short version. I'm in my room all day. I'm living remote enough that there's nothing nearby to just go to (to get out of the house), my room mates are hostile enough that i don't feel comfortable in shared spaces, so once every day or two or sometimes more than once a day i go and look up some adult content. Yeah, i spend way too much time on it when i do. to my credit, i'm not into any weird shi. I'm am actually pretty mindful of what i consume and i try to select for stuff that's not going to imprint anything in muh brain. I know that's a highly subjective line, but just trust that i'm not sitting around corrupting myself or being a degenerate.
Anyway, my experience isn't so much a "why should i stop". I mean there actually are pros and cons but either way i want to feel like i have the tools to face it down directly and win, if such a thing is possible. So my question is, what do you do? What does an alcaholic do when they're stuck in a room with a bottle and they can't leave? Kinda feels like the metaphor breaks down. They could always pour out the bottle but I'm sure as hell not throwing my computer out the window, >!although at this rate, if it keeps minimizing windows and disconnecting my appliances (mouse keyboard, xbox controller) on its own i just might have to, lol. !< so how do you stop when it's just you, and the thing, in a room, and yea urge surfing is great but it'll be here tomorrow, and so will I, and my life really isn't getting any better. I'll stop myself before i get into the weeds on every single detail, i just want to know if there's any technique that works for literally facing down impulses, addictions, sumskara, whatever you want to call them and coming out on top. I feel as though i've done so a couple times, but i didn't really do anything so much as i found the impulse to go and watch porn to be no longer within me. And then i realized there was nothing else i was going to do that day, and so i went ahead and did it. I know it's easy to say "open another window" or "watch a Dr.K video but my attention is kindof shot. When it comes to non-adult content i'm maybe good for about ten minutes of solid attention and then i end up pausing the video and wandering off to something else, or i play a game and let the video run in the background. Also while i'm here asking questions, does anyone know if research has been done in ADHD to link porn use to a drop in attention span? It seems possible, maybe, theoretically, but i could just as easily be reaching for reasons to quit besides a will to self mastery.
TL;DR- How do you manage habitual behavior when there's no distractions available?
