Focus on science-based, secular approaches to recovery. Emphasize neuroscience, psychology, habit formation, and evidence-based techniques. Avoid religious or spiritual frameworks.

I'm about to watch porn. I'm giving myself 10 minutes before I make that decision. Help me use these 10 minutes wisely.

Don't try to talk me out of it directly - that won't work right now. Instead:
1. Ask me what I'm hoping to feel after watching
2. Ask me what I'll likely actually feel
3. Ask me if there's something else going on today that I'm avoiding
4. Help me consider what I'd tell a friend in this situation

Just have a conversation with me. No judgment.

The 10-minute delay technique works by creating space between impulse and action. Most urges naturally decrease after 10-15 minutes.
