How to Stop Porn Addiction - Part 1 (6 Tools to Help You Stop)

FREE RECOVERY COURSE http://www.feedtherightwolf.org/2010/05/erp-break-out-of-your-addictive-cycle...




In the following video I am going to show you a technique that helped me stop porn addiction. I am not a doctor, nor a professional movie maker, and for a very long time, I kept this approach to myself. Just recently I shared it with some of my friends in recovery, and they found it very helpful. So I decided to share it with the rest of the world.

A first major component in my own recovery was an understanding that pornography viewing was not just a bad habit. It was an obsessive compulsive cycle that I was engaging in. For me, it usually started with a sexual thought that I didn't want, which would make me feel guilty, and I would try to avoid the thought for as long as I could.

Eventually I would get to a point where I couldn't handle the pressure any longer and I would go back to the only way I knew to make those thoughts temporarily go away --watching pornography and masturbating.

After I would come back to my senses, I would feel guilt and regret for being so weak and giving in again and I would swear to never do it again. Unfortunately over time I would find sexual thoughts coming back, and since I didn't know how to handle them in a healthy way, I would try once again to push them away for a while, but eventually the whole cycle would repeat itself.

Clearly this cycle didn't help my thoughts to go away and it only made them come back stronger and faster, and I began to rely more and more on my behavior to help me escape the sexual thoughts, and eventually this cycle got completely out of control, to the point where I would have to spending most of my day watching porn, looking at a really hard core stuff in order to temporary satisfy my desires, and allow me to return to my normal state.

In other words, I found that the more I fed my porn addiction, the bigger it got.

The biggest lesson that I learned at first, is that the human craving is shaped kind of like a bell curve, meaning it gets really intense. And most of the addicts, in any addiction, including pornography addiction would get used to the fact that they could never get past their cravings. And that their cravings will eventually get so strong, that they will have no choice but to give in.

In actuality, however, we as human beings cannot sustain any emotion, or any kind of feelings for a long period of time, and eventually any feeling including craving will decrease.

So the trick is to ride out your craving. And the more you learn to ride out your cravings, the less your cravings will become. Which of course sounds nice, but as many of us addicts know it is not easy to do.

So I am going to share with you a technique that I learned that helped me do just that.

But before we do that I wanted to point your attention towards certain physiological changes that begin to take place in your body right before you are about to act out (watch porn or mastrbate compressively):
Rapid Pulse
Increased blood pressure
Your Eyes dilate
And your Breath gets Shallow
So it is something to watch out for. And the reason it is so important is because we can use this information to help us on our way to recovery from porn addiction.

We can use our pulse to measure our current state. We can learn our normal pulse and recognize if it is getting too high. We can use it as an indicator that we are about to get out of control. At the same time we can re-measure pulse once again to let us know that the pulse is back to normal, that we are getting out of the danger zone, and that the physical craving begins to decrease.

Another very important component is breath. It is the only subconscious bodily function that we can consciously control. Think about it! You cannot control your blood pressure, you cannot control you pulse, but you can control your breath. You can take slow, deep, controlled breaths, and through that you can affect your subconscious mind. It is a very important key!

So let's move right into action. The technique that I used to help me overcome the craving is called Exposure and Response Prevention or ERP and is usually used for Obsessive Compulsive disorder, and other psychological problems. It is very effective, it's been around for quite some time, tons of people use it and it works really well.

The key idea of technique is that you practice avoiding certain behaviors while you are still strong. So by the time your real craving kicks in, your body has already learned a new response.

In order to do that, you systematically expose yourself to a trigger which usually would cause you to engage in addictive behavior, but instead you practice a healthy response.

How to stop porn addiction:

1) watch as much porn as you can and masturbate till you can't spill one more drop

2) immediatly, make someone you barely know to block all porn pages and to set a password you'll never find out

3) When in "need", go fuck your girlfriend (friend or prostitute) as if there was no tomorrow

I tell you, it works!

Step 1: Your wife turns your hard drive over to the police.

Step 2: You are brought in for questioning.

Why are we not holding these men accountable? Most sex addicts have "used" child pornography. They are responsible for the exploitation and sexual abuse of children. Call the police, people! Hold them truly accountable for their actions. If they have only used legal porn, they won't be convicted.
