+<p>Let's say you have 12 days ahead of you right now, and you pack your schedule to make the most out of it:</p>
+<img src="5.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>Great, you won't have any reason to be bored and indulge in any addiction whatsoever. In theory it sounds nice, but if you have been addicted for years on a substance or on some addictive behavior like me (i've been addicted to playing way too much video games), <b>But in practice your brain is going to want to escape the increasing discomfort of the grind you scheduled, to do something more relieving sooner or later during the day.</b></p>
+<img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>You start the day grinding. On the first task, you're fresh out of the <a href="../coldshowers/index.html">cold shower</a>, energetic and ready to roll. Once you completed the first task, you move on to task B, still in the flow you keep going. Moving on to task C you're getting tired, but you keep pushing forward. And now here comes Task D where you're getting mentally exhausted. <b>The bigger the discomfort, the more likely you're going to want to escape the discomfort by indulging in some addictive behavior just to feel better.</b></p>
+<p>Be extra careful when the discomfort is at it's peak, <b>as it is the sign that you need to rest and recover, so DO NOT indulge in an addiction</b>. Indulging in an addiction can be as simple getting the idea, opening the web browser, typing the URL to a website, and opening it. Be aware of what the addiction cycle is, and especially that it starts as a simple thought in your mind:</p>
+
+<pre><code class="nim">
+"Man i really need [...]"
+"Just one more time won't hurt"
+"Just one last time, i deserve it"
+"I need it, i deserve it"
+"Noone will know that i did it, it's okay"
+
+</pre></code>

+<p><b>1) The best moment to do the Opus Nihil meditation is right after the idea of indulging in pleasure appears in your mind.</b> Because you are actively rewiring your brain to a different thought pattern, and with enough repetition, your brain won't associate the idea of indulging in said addiction as a solution when facing discomfort. As explained above, the goal is to move from compulsive action to conscious action.</p>
+
+<p>2) the next-best moment to do the Opus Nihil meditation is when the ritual begins but indulgence didn't start yet. At first your mind is not trained enough to stop itself as soon as the poisonous thought emerges, and you may end up starting the ritual on autopilot (ex: starting to type the URL of the website in the browser), <b>This is also a good place to start the opus nihil meditation, to dis-engage in the activity and stop it brefore it's too late.</b></p>
+<p>If you don't manage to stop yourself on time and begin indulging in the actual addictive behavior, try as you might, opus nihil won't be able to stop it until you finish spiking your dopamine (aka feeling alot of pleasure in one go). This is when it's too late to do the opus nihil meditation.</p>
+<p>3) Lastly if your addictive behavior produces negative side-effects (it can be shame, pain, depression, unrest, disease, or even cardiac arrest) Opus nihil is also a good thing to do as you're going through the negativity, <b>because you want to associate the addictive behavior / substance with the hell that you're going through at that moment</b>, view it as a "fuck that, never again!" mode of thinking. It is a last resort at helping escape an addiction cycle, but if you're in one of the hardest addictions to quit like opiates, every little help you can get to get out of the downward spiral is a good thing.</p>
+<p>Lastly, not everyone has the mental thoughness to escape their own addictions on their own. Do not hesitate to some outside seek help if you can't escape addictions on your own (especially with hard drugs, in practice it's very hard to quit them). <b>However, to successfully unwind addictions, YOU must want it.</b> You must decide that you want to get out of the addiction cycle, and then you must implement opus nihil wherever possible to unwind the spiral as much as possible, until the self-destructing pattern is completely gone from your mind.</p>
+<p>Sobriety is not boring, it's not something to discard, on the contrary it must be cherished, because to remain Sober is to ensure that your world gets to remain beautiful. <b>Stay out of the darkness of addictions, always function with all of your mental faculties, thrive, and go change this world for the better.</b> </p>
