5. Move.

The power of regular exercise to deal with addictions is often underestimated.

A sedentary lifestyle is the mother of addictions. While movement is a killer of addiction, it helps you manage your mental health. So move.

You can't smoke weed while you're sprinting.

You can't fap while you're doing burpees.

You can't gamble while you're swimming.

It's very hard to be pathetic while you're moving intensely.

And here's the beautiful thing about exercise.

A good session will release natural chemicals in the brain called endorphins.

And when you get these endorphins in a natural way, you are less likely to crave it in a cheap and artificial way afterwards.

Because you already got your feel-good high from exercising.
