Its interesting to think of it.
One of the oldest philosophy questions was what is the best way to live.
In this case, it is better to numb your emotions by pmo, going through this life without much risk and struggle.
Or is it better to break the addiction (which is hard) face the real problems in your life (also hard), for the chance of getting better life, relationship, children...
Is that a really better life? Because more problems come with that...
