• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Basically its when the pop-up ads on the internet keep popping up & the whole thing freezes up on me & then & have to get off the internet then back on. its like i'm drinking or something like i can't stop. But i got it down a little bit. & its when i can't take something to a point where i swear. But other than that i'm fine. so can someone help me with this? Anyone have advice?:help:

Prayer of course!

we had this guy at our home group say that he also had this problem. He was a guard at a jail and everytime someone ticked him off,he'd swear. Being a Christian,he wanted to be a an example. He put a rubberband on his wrist,every time he swore,he'd snap that baby. Within days he saw results.
What would it hurt to try it?:thumbsup:

I would go with the reward and punishment method.....say, if you go a whole day without swearing, give yourself a point....and then, after you get 10 days or something, give yourself something......BUT, if you swear, then you take a day away.....That's just an example....I suggest making it easier or harder depending on how good you do.....

I have the problem too......I just don't swear in front of people very often.
