    “For in the dew of little things the heart finds it’s morning and is refreshed” Kahlil Gibran

    A fleeting feeling of security is all that’s needed to get through a rough spot in life, but will your desensitised brain be able to catch that drop of destresser that a non-user’s brain is able to use?

    Dopamine flooding acts like a quick acting drug, falling quickly and inducing withdrawal pangs. Many users have the illusion these pangs are the terrible trauma they suffer when trying or being forced to stop. In fact, they’re primarily mental since the user is feeling deprived of their pleasure or prop.

    4.1 The Little Monster

    The actual chemical withdrawal from porn is so subtle that most users have lived and died without realising they’re drug addicts. Many users have a fear of drugs, yet that’s exactly what they are, drug addicts. Fortunately it’s an easy drug to kick, but you first need to accept that you are, in fact, addicted. Withdrawal from porn doesn’t cause any physical pain and is merely an empty, restless feeling of something missing, which is why many believe it’s something to do with sexual desire. Prolonged, this feeling becomes nervousness, insecurity, agitation, low confidence and irritability. It’s like hunger, for a poison.

    Within seconds of engaging in a session, dopamine is supplied and the craving ends, resulting in a feeling of fulfillment as you whiz down the water slide. In the early days, withdrawal pangs and their subsequent relief are so slight we’re unaware of them. When we become regular users, we believe it’s because we’ve come to enjoy them or gotten into the ’habit’. The truth being that we’re already hooked but don’t realise it. The little monster is already in our brains, so every once and a while we take trips down the water slide to feed it.

    All users begin seeking porn for irrational reasons. The only reason anybody continues using porn, whether they’re a casual or heavy user, is to feed that little monster. The whole conundrum is a series of cruel and confusing punishments, but perhaps the most pathetic aspect is the sense of enjoyment a user gets from a session, trying to get back to the sense of peace, tranquility and confidence their body had before becoming hooked in the first place."

    Hi @BrotherHal, if you are not already on some sort of structured program I recommend you try one of the below, which are all free:
    - the SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION.p.SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION book - removed the full stops and look up SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION.p.e.a.s.ymethod.org/
    - Scadanavian Bob's breakdown of the weeks of PMO detox - https://pmoflatline.com/no-pmo-for-a-year/
    - Freedomfight.org
    I believe you have to follow some sort of structure to break the relapse structure for good, but the book above may be the most direct way to sever your urges for good

    To all the orcs @Gallade_Templar @dharana @C12345 @aeburbt @ULYSS3S @MarioVargas @Mr. Sinister @Valier(|[{<=>}]|) , @Samurai_God , etc...- you are my heroes because you have taken the most difficult step and come back to @RiseToGreatness 's forum. You have picked yourself up off the canvas time and time again. You have summoned your willpower and you have landed the hardest blow of all to get back on the wagon - This requires strength, the strength that you are demonstrating here, your strength. Many are those who just threw in the towel and are now stuck in their own personal hell til the day they die, but not you! You will not lie down. Your resilience is outstanding! I applaud you and am proud to be in the same fellowship of you!!! Keep going brothers!!!

    Thursday check-in

    Today I have:
    - meditated, three minutes
    - prayed
    - eaten healthy
    - worked on graduate work/pursued goals/dreams
    - worked on foreign languages
    - gone on a walk

    Still have to:
    - lift
    - take cold shower
    - read about recovery from PMO

    With PMO kicked out of my life, I am gaining everything.
