I did find some advice from the reddit no-fap group on how to deal with cravings when things get out of control.
Like writing down some coping strategys that i could use next time like exercising or reading, and just go down the list.

Yeah, willpower kept me going for a while but its just not enough.

Another thing...if you decide to do this, a fair warning, after about 12-13 days of not having an addiction crutch to deal with stress i found my self sobbing, crying and mood swinging like all day. Alot of **** that i have been running from through years of addiction came up and i started falling apart. this addiction is no joke.
Yeah those are side effects with most addictions. You feel like your body needs it and you go crazy when you don't get it. I usually try to get over it by going for jogs or a cold shower. Cold showers really do work. But usually when it gets really bad I try to go out and do something so that I can't cheat.
