“This is my last one”
See what this thought is changing.
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.

PRESENT
Present in the background

Begin with one reversible receipt: Set the pack on a shelf, drawer, or counter out of reach, then note the exact minute on your phone and do nothing with it for three minutes while watching the urge change.
