Thanks for sharing. I've had akrasia evaporate for short periods of time before, but the cause was always identifiable:

  • Taking THC once cured me of an internet addiction, and that solved my akrasia problem at the time.

  • Another time, my akrasia was due to problems in my social network. A positive change in my social network removed that problem.

Are you comfortable elaborating on the problems in your social network? I've had some very frustrating issues which could be described the same way, so any related data is of interest.
