    Due to very real negative consequences of what years of porn use has done to some of us, holistic therapies will continue I guess. Just don't mix up the consequences of "addiction" for the "addiction" itself.

    I guess this point was inevitable. Addiction is all in your mind. It's not a disease. The physical effects are consequences and focusing on them is a choice. Whatever floats your boat.

    The emotional pain and all around life havoc wreaked on us by years of destructive compulsions are very real. Addiction is a big business in this world. Much of the system doesn't want it to go away.

    Regenerating one's life is how I like to view healing from a life destroying compulsion i.e. addiction. Fixing our broken psyches while restoring physical well being and building character seems like an all around winning approach to crushing PMO.

    "Battle For Utopia"

    Fighting for my life
    And for a right to exist
    Freedom from oppression
    Drives my will to persist
    I struggle in a conflict
    Just to make my stand
    Nothing lasts forever
    Now my time is at hand

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

    Tear away the scars
    Away from my skin
    Scrape me to the bone
    It fuels my revenge

    No One can save me
    The weight of my burden
    The pain and the hurting
    My life is real
    'Cause after the fall
    I rise above all
    'Cause after the fall
    I rise above it all

    I was made for war
    Anger powered core
    What gives you the right
    You can't judge my life
    What gives you the right?

    No One can save me
    The weight of my burden
    The pain and the hurting
    My life is real
    'Cause after the fall
    I rise above all

    Program has a termination date in sight. All I can do after reassimilation is leave you with a prayer and wish you the best in your journey.



    I think virtue therapy will now continue alongside the animals and music. One virtue a day until the expiration date of this program.

    Real people don't pay for or sell sex. That simple.

    The initial peace and exuberance to be found on the other side of PMO feels like being released from jail by no exaggeration. It's exhilarating at first then life has a way of being life. Life is not all peaches.
