Addiction To Another Addiction?

Hi

I am posting this topic because I rebooted back in 2010. I remember I was finishing High School and it was three months until summer. So I guess you could say late April I was done fapping. It was the best decision I've ever made because I did get my life back in order. I distinctly remember the flat lines happening in Earth Science class and I didn't know what was going on with me. But it was awful.... It felt like a hormonal reboot.

Addiction #1
I thoroughly remember not only that I stopped. But I remember my addiction slipped into another addiction being Manga, Internet games. I knew I was done with porn and masturbating. But it slipped and change dopamine receptors to another addiction. I guess you could say I was an Otaku basically someone who keeps themselves inside and reads manga periodically, non stop. Of course I did have a life out side of it I hung out with friends on the weekends.


Addiction #2.
I got heavily addicted to playing games on Facebook. I'm not sure if this was healthy or not. There was a game called Ninja Wars, and the well known game Tetris. I got highly competitive. Up to the point where if streaming was viral back then. I could of possibly been a well known streamer for Tetris for being up in the high levels.

Addiction #3

I was heavily into Anime. Another reason why you could of considered me an Otaku? I remember I would be staying up until 1 in the morning secretly going on the good ol pc desktop. Watching some sappy love story. Yes I was one of them. A closet Otaku I guess you could say.

Addiction #4?

Was music. My passion turned a turning point to music where it was basically all I cared about. I was heavily into a sub Genre of Techno called Hardcore. It sounded like ecstasy if I could call it that to this day. Music was so crisp by the start of summer I felt over joyed by it. One of the benefits is that music does sound better and its obviously true. The crystal clear frequencies you receive are unbelievable.

Above all. I'm just wondering if anybody else has fallen into the same category as having other addictions prior to porn? I guess you could say this is a past reboot story. Right now it's so difficult to reboot. My immune system is out of whack.

"I just remember one night distinctively where I did not feel like myself. It was a humid summer night and honestly I zoned out half of the night. I did not know what was going on but to this day I still remember it. I don't know if you could of called this a flat line or something more. "

 

My bio teacher said it best. 'Dopamine is all about sex drugs and rock n roll'.

If u choose one i would choose music. Its more about the beauty of life. The other two take that away. Music with pure lovemaking is my dream of happiness.

 

I honestly wish to experience this in the future.
