how do you say no to your desires?
>>
Self-control.

Considering that it's a personal virtue outside of serious psychotherapy there's nothing any of us can do through the glass to advise you on how to do this.

>>16438242
By stop being a faggot.
>>
consider a desire as an offer, you either accept, or reject. and don't dwell on it.
>>
>>16438242
It's pretty easy.
>>
>>16438242
If you have any hobbies or goals in life, work on them immediately until the desire goes away. Distraction is the best tool to use until you habituate to not succumbing to your vices.

>>16438482
I've got none

You don't have to say no, but you have to have a reasonable approach founded with reality and logic.
Then if you choose to follow your desire you accept all consequences of your actions.
I'm going to assume you're hinting towards bad eating habits with your picture as an example:
You want to eat a loaf of cheesy bread a day.
If you do, you'll likely trash your pallete for other healthier foods and become fat, but you might get that satisfying endorphin rush up until like a year where you'll crave cheesier/crustier/saltier things due to destroying your tastebuds over time. (food can be drugs kids) If you choose to cut back to a quarter loaf per month or so, you might retain the ability to not get fat and not trash your palette and still achieve the endorphin high you love, maybe even some cash from not buying bread so much.

What desires are you trying to control?
>>
>>16438932
porn & masturbating
>>
>>16438972
Do you save porn? You have to delete it. You don't give yourself a chance to say no. beat the desires.
>>
>>16438997
nop I only watch online.
>>
>>16438972
Getting busy is the best way to quit those. Go outside, join things, etc.
>>
>>16439007
Tried so many things. When I get stressed, it's my fix.
>>
>>16439019
That's rough, man. I'm guessing you're depressed, in which case you should seek help
>>
>>16439080
