How can a solution work on an imaginary problem?

"How can a solution work on an imaginary problem?
The 'solution' is to recognize it's imaginery.
The quickest way out is to realize you're not in."

The author may have meant that it's not possible to find a solution when there's actually no problem, just the illusion of one.

The most accurate course of action is to realize that solving this problem is unnecessary because it doesn't concern us.

How could this relate to the subject of dealing with urges?

It's when You understand, that urges are not Yours in nature, but instead are the doings of the mind, which tries to fool You into believing, that it's Your need to fulfill whatever the mind suggests You to do.

Since You're not Your mind, then urges are also not part of You, and since they're not part of You, then there's no reason to get involved with them.

I had a bit of a tough day and this was a good perspective to read, thank you

It seems to me that there's a similar sort of illusion that happens in procrastination, but in a sort of opposite sense. Where a layer of your mind directs you away from an important task, making it appear wholly unpleasant, even when it's really not once you actually start on it.

Yes - learning to ignore the urges is the final form in my system. Then the urges shall pass like the wind without affecting us. Until then, one must resort to diversions.
No need to ever fight the urges.

1) No Porn (or Porn substitutes), No Masturbation, No Edging. Intentional indulging in any of these during this war will disqualify you from daily 'Check In'.

2) Report Casualty or 'KIA' immediately if you relapse. All soldiers abide by a strong code of honor. Honesty and humility are important virtues that are necessary for this path of self-improvement.

3) Show respect to all soldiers, allies and opponents. Do not provoke anyone to relapse, doing so will result in an immediate ban of your account.
