I know feelings will subside towards pornographic use if I just calmly refocus towards something else, however sometimes the feelings drive me towards use of pornography.
Yesterday, I had a strong feeling that took over my self control making me have an emotional decision to view porn. Once the emotional decision happen with the strong feeling, I viewed porn. I think when I allow the feeling to subside then it helps significantly, however majority of the time it doesn't really work. For example, afterwards two times I had feelings to view porn so did.
I have a trouble of tackling emotional decisions by quick, strong urges that overtake my self-control due to hypofrontality. Then when I have the option to stop, I decide not to from the neurochemical pour of dopamine and the 'high': the good feeling from viewing porn. Overall, I would say I know my feelings will subside but have trouble allowing it to due to the associated pleasure and my feelings making me want to view porn. I don't really know a way to tackle feelings that become emotional decisions as normally once the decision is made, I take action from that decision.
