  • Sometimes it has worked for me to prepare myself for specific situations before I get into them.  Like when I have known that a certain set of hours I would be free and probably tempted,  I would take some time before I got there planning my time and what I would do to make it productive, fun, and at least not destructive for myself. For me this didn't work for more than a few days at a time, but it can sometimes buy time until a better plan is reached.[1]
  • What I found that works for me most, is to stay occupied. Don't allow a situation where you will have extra time on your hands. I found that filling my day with extra sedarim, or a walk with a friend can significantly reduce the chance that you will stumble. #Anonymous1051[2]
