All feelings are generated by your body for a purpose, to help you in some way. So when you get the urge, just say "thank you for caring", and then just let go.
From GYE Members
- We are not to view the battle with the temptations as something as a battle per se(in a negative form)as that is what it seems on the surface,(which is inself is a tool that hashem gave to the koach hatuma to have us think that way in order to overcome that way of thinking and get rewarded for that ) but in its deeper from and at its essence,as a holy and sweet OPPORTUNITY to cleave to hashem(in a positive form). We are not to view the temptation as something evil that we have to overcome but to see the holiness hiding within the temptation which is none other than Hashem himself. We are to WELCOME the temptation the more we view it as a mask of hashem in the form of temptation,yetzer hora,addiction etc. Only sweet and holy things exist in this world as hashem would not do otherwise- and when we think we see otherwise, we dig deeper and find out the above holy yesod with time.It takes time, as this is the whole point in life, to tear the mask away and consequently loving hashem and doing his will more and more in quantity and quality. That is why it says - tov -is yetser tov, (tov) meod- is yetser hora. As that is in essence and inherently the ultimate and greatest good. @sonoftheking

Torah Sources
- בבא בתרא דף טז עמוד א - שטן ופנינה לשם שמים נתכוונו
- ונ"ל דביאור קושיא זאת על פי משל ששמעתי מלך אחד הי' מושל על כמה וכמה מדינות ובחר אחד מעבדיו שישנה כסות ולשון ולמרוד בו כדי לנסות בני המדינה וכך עשה והי' בחי' ג' סוגים א' שעשו מלחמה נגדו עד שגרשו מאתם ב' שנכנעו מיד והכניסו אותו למדינה ג' היו חכמים ונתיעצו איך אפשר שימרוד זה במלך גדול והמלך שותק אין זה כי אם שעשה רצון המלך לנסות אותנו וכך יצאו נגדו ואמרו כך ופירש מהם בלא מלחמה וכו'. והנמשל מובן כי היצר הרע נברא לכך לפתות בני אדם כמ"ש בזהר ח"נ משל לזונה וכו' כדי לנסות הבריות ויש גימל כתות א' צדיקים שיוצאים להלחם עמו נגדו על ידי סגופים וכיוצא ב' כת הרשעים מיד נכנעין ליצר הרע להכניסו במדינה ולשמוע אליו ככל אשר יצוה להם כי הוא טוב להתענג בתענוגי עולם הזה ג' שיודע ששטן ופנינה לשם שמים נתכוונו כמ"ש בש"ס דבבא בתרא והם יודעין שעושה היצר הרע שליחותו יתברך ואז נעשה היצר הרע יצר טוב וכו' אם כן שפיר נקרא היצר הרע ערום בתחבולות היתר לעשות שליחותו ית'.
