How to fight urges

Hi, guys I just want to know your way of fighting urges. It will be helpful for me and others if you share your way of fighting urges.

I do not fight urges. I allow urges. I observe it, and watch it control my whole mind & body. This is true strength. It is not “fighting” your urge by working out, or shifting your awareness to something else, or whatever. Although these techniques can be useful, they are just putting a band-aid on an underlying issue. Which is, that you are so identified with “your urge” & not realizing its true nature: that you are separate from that urge, & you actually have the ability to simply watch it from the 3rd person, & let it pass. If you really cannot fight the urge, then don’t fight it. Just allow it!
