What data am I recording? The days since I last did it.
There are TED talks and other things people have said exist that say when you’ve messed up some of your reward circuitry in this way that keeping away from it for a while is a good way to go. I haven’t really looked at them. I don’t claim that it’s the best way for everyone, or that people should abstain in general, but I do know that if I don’t stop entirely for a little while it won’t work. When I give in it’s harder to keep from doing it again and I tend to binge. I suppose I would know if it helps if this goes well.
What data are you recording and how would you know if abstention helps?
