I don't think MO is as bad as PMO, but still, same principle, and it can also be addictive and time wasty. Here's a short Easypeasy applied to MO Addiction: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafk2bzacea3j3p6uap5flsushwgb4toaoly6tcxv4tu4dhwweetlw42ntagqw?filename=Allen%20Carr\_%20HackAuthor\_%20Hackauthor%C2%B2\_%20DukkarBhaj%20-%20The%20EasyPeasy%20Way%20to%20Quit%20Porn\_%20EasyPeasy%20on%20MO%20(2021).pdf
I recommend reading Jack Trimpey's Rational Recovery. I find this superior to to the hackbook insofar as dealing with the little monster. He teaches the reader about AVRT (Addictive Voice Recognition Technique) a method to counter the inner voice of the more primitive part of your psyche, the Beast. He emphasizes that our humanity gives us an unparalleled advantage over the Beast, we need to be deprogrammed that our addiction is difficult to cast away. Because of our innate superiority, there is a theme of "The best defense is a good offense." against your addiction. That means boldly stating you will never cave in to the Beast, because this creature as deceptive, clever and slippery as it is, can not force you to do anything. It needs your consent for it to get its fix.
​
Recognizing the Beast's voice, posing as your own whenever it surfaces ensures it will never fool you again.
You pmo simply because you find it as your best option for your own happiness. You don't need to overcomplicate things with "brainwashing" or "illusion". Read the freedom model instead
Gambling? You just need to realize you're always mathematically doomed to lose money.
There's an EasyWay book on how to quit gambling btw: https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Way-Stop-Gambling-Control/dp/1782124489
Don't know if it'll work.
In my opinion the only rational way to handle it in such situation, is to remain mindful about the situation and possible consequences of doing the deed.
While I disliked easepeasy book, I bought this book and will try to apply to the best of my capabilities the method described in this book:
Unfortunately I'll have to wait for more than a month to receive this book 😅🤷
