When I feel an impulse to abuse something, I try to isolate it from the rest of my mind. If I don't, I'll integrate with it. I'll start thinking rationally and start making an argument for doing it. When it's isolated, you label it in your mind as a radical compulsion, and look at it like you would a sick patient at a hospital. Dissect it. Why does it feel so impulsive, this gesture to want to go out and abuse something? Keep it as distanced from your rational thinking as you can and you should be able to keep it pushed aside.

The same disciplines I've used for resisting hunger when eating was not in the equation, physical pain, emotional impulses, all of that have been a result of control by isolation. It might be hard to control your mental heirarchy if you're in a dreadful mood, but do your best to relax as much as you can, so that it's ripe to be organized. Goodluck~ doing great so far.
