Forgetting the addiction - Question for Veterans

You are absolutely right.
The comparison to cigarettes is actually pretty good.
You said you smoked a lot and quit a few years back. Yet you still get triggered by people smoking cigarettes. It is a constant battle for you not to smoke, although it gets much easier over time.
For me people smoking are nothing more than that. I don´t even notice (except when I smell it of course).
And that is exactly the level of indifference I want to get to with porn.
