What do you do when feeling unwell?

I've come down with a bad cold. Headache, nose running, eyes sore and watering. Obviously not the end of the world but one thing I know about myself is that I instinctively use PMO to boost my dopamine levels when feeling tired and run down or when trying to alleviate negative emotions.
Usually I would go for a walk or maybe do some exercise when the urges hit but when feeling unwell I feel like I don’t have the energy or motivation for any of my regular positive coping mechanisms. It feels like it would be so easy to slip into those well worn patterns of behaviour today but I’m determined to defeat it this time once and for all.
What would you do at times like this?

Exactly like you do it. I guess there is no other way out of the behavior mechanism. You are stronger then the behavior. Your are stronger then the programm. If you have hard times easier will follow.

@HitmanX hey brother, I am exactly in the same situation now. Actually, I’m at the hospital now getting checked for corona or influenza because I have had a persistent cough and sore throat for the last couple weeks. I too love to get out and exercise normally and haven’t been able to do that. However, this is the opportunity to go inward! Believe in yourself that you are stronger than the simple escape of a fleeting pleasure or dopamine fix! You are also a member of the Phalanx barracks!! Stay strong 💪
Also keep in mind that if you relapse, this will only make you feel more unwell in the long run 🙏

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

2) Report Casualty or 'KIA' immediately if you break Rule 1. 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.
