At one point during one of my more darker periods I tried NoFap and the control I got was immense. Like control over desires and needs. I tried not playing video games during the same period and the combined results was me trying new things because I got bored.
It really helped figure stuff out that was really holding me back. Now I can do it with a sense of gratefulness behind it, like I'm allowing myself. Don't get me wrong it sounds pathetic but try it. It will definitely make you more in control... and that's the best feeling ever.
