As a former porn addict myself. I can inform you from experience that you will be tempted not to read the book out of fear. The worry is that it could be already too late, and there is no chance of changing the situation.
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” ― Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
Do not let your subconscious trick you into thinking that it’s dangerous to know about the damaging consequence of porn consumption. It’s only a delusion. Content and science should not be threatening; you should instead be inspired to discover new things.
“Making a big life change is scary. But you know what’s even scarier? Regret” ― Zig Ziglar
You might try to deprive yourself using the willpower approach, but you’ll ultimately bear a poor experience. Many people have tried and failed even after they deemed the issue was far behind them.
You could stop for a year by depriving yourself, but you're not shooting the nuisance from the roots. The big clue here is that you can stop from day one without missing anything if you really seek to quit.
If you go through this as if you're making a sacrifice. It simply won't function since you still are not done with porn yet, and your mind still craves it. You just can't push your mind to accept something you don't. The first thing to do is to correct yourself, and you'll eventually find the cure to be much easier than you have imagined.
Don’t you find it strange that after all the urges and hours on end of consumption? Still, at the very instant of orgasm, all the nasty sentiments of shame and guilt surface, and you become even more pathetic. At that moment, you promise yourself never to watch porn again, only to manage your way back to profanity.
It’s time to recover command of your life and to take matters into your own hands instead of permitting this thing to extract the taste from your life. Just because you’re dealing with an addiction doesn’t suggest it should be that way for a lifetime.
Take control of yourself and stop bargaining with your mind, it’s only you there, and thoughts are of your creation, even if you find it hard to believe. But thoughts are thoughts, and you need to separate truth and reality from thought. Enough with the delusion already.
Take the necessary decision, and reap the benefits in the future. You’ll get a chance to have a regular free life where you’ll have a great family that supports you.
Instead of reducing your self-worth every time, a negative idea pops into your mind. Throw in an assertion that blesses you and makes you more outstanding, even if you may find it difficult at first. Start now, love and value yourself, boost your self-confidence instead of engaging in a self-sabotaging activity.
Do not skip any chapters. Read the book until the end.
