I’m starting the “quit smoking” process today. Anyone here gone through it want to share your thoughts on your challenge? I would think that knowing what others went through could be very helpful to me on all fronts.
Thanks.
I gave up cold turkey and put on so much weight I became practically spherical.
But cold turkey is so good! Especially in a turkey-stuffing sandwich. Mmm…
Not so good for the turkey.
If your medication isn’t working then I doubt that more of it will help you. Also, have you considered disconnecting your internet if you can?
perhaps he needs a different medication?
The appointment with the psychiatrist is weeks away, unfortunately.

It’s 2017. I need the Internet day-to-day.

For what?
The Person in Question
To stay connected to the world maybe? To come here for some support? Or maybe he likes asking goofy questions? Then again I could be wrong.
😉
I’m just saying that it seems like a trigger for his impulsive behavior.
The Person in Question
It’s a possibility for sure.

What about going back to your Doctor?

Yeah, having internet is pretty much a necessity these days.
I haven’t been following your situation too closely, but perhaps you could find some browser extension that blocks content out? Or maybe you could have a friend set up an internet filter and put a password on it so you can’t turn it off?
I’m just saying that from everything you’ve posted it looks like most of your impulsive forays in religious subjects stem from instant access to the internet. Unless you need it then maybe you could consider giving it up or limiting it somehow.

Why?
The Person in Question
It is I think possible to block specific websites. Have a friend or family member use a password to block it that they aren’t to give you.

Why?
Its 2017. The internet has basically become a necessity these days. Just remember there were probably some oldtimers in 1917 that wondered why electricity was considered a necessity.

What’s it necessary for? If it’s the most obvious and debilitating outlet for his impulses then it is something to consider. At least limit it somehow, even if it’s just not taking a smartphone to work.

Based on everything in this thread it is, especially at work.

Unless he needs Internet for his job, I certainly don’t see the necessity for 24-7 Internet access. Hell, as much as I bitched about it during the moment, the last two times I was deprived of the Internet, I managed to watch a number of movies and read a number of books that I never wouldn’t gotten around to if I’d still had the laptop plopped down in front of me.
Ok, you two turn off all your connections to the internet for a week, see how you fare.
Neither one of them is claiming that any aspect of the internet is ruining their lives.
Perhaps you’ve forgotten, Warb, but not too long ago my laptop was sent to the pawnshop for over a week. The same thing happened several weeks before that. Aside from going through some computer withdrawal and having to listen to my sister’s shitty music every couple days without having YouTube on-hand to drown it out, I fared just fine.

As Possessed pointed out, I’m not struggling with uncontrollable impulses in regards to the internet. I could, and have, gone without internet for a week. In fact, I’ve gone without internet for decades before. 😉

Okay, I give up.
Okay, I give up.
Okay, I give up.
Why yes there was.

Okay, I give up.
LOL!
