Impulse controls

Saying NO and impulse control. They're connected. Maybe not exactly the same. "Just say no" is, not counting Nancy Reagan, a bit simplistic, or more than a bit. But, they're on the same continuum. And, whether over sex-related issues, especially while online, or some other things, I do have some issues with impulse control.

Not in all things, though. I quit smoking, and drinking.

That said, part of any impulse control issues I do have may be related to yearning for comfort against anxiety, even without any of my childhood abuse. And, so, "getting stuck" may be a flip side of impulse control.
