Okay, well I have impulses to go and get drunk, do hard drugs, and attempt to sleep with random women. None of those things are close to a good idea for me.
Just because you feel drawn to something or a type of thing does not make it healthy or a good idea for that person. Taking desires and expressing them in a healthy way is important, desires dont just disappear.
I dont understand the alarm thing. My sister did that when I was a kid, extra loud alarm 6 inches from her face and she sleeps right through it. I dont understand how its even possible.
