How To Avoid A Relapse As A Porn Addict
And how to beat the devil of rationalisation
Some of you are mild porn addicts. Some of you are deep porn addicts. You began to notice the strange, negative effects of watching pornography and now you want to stop.
But a porn addiction isn’t easy to stop. If an alcoholic wants to break their addiction, they remove all alcohol from the home. If a smoker wants to quit smoking, they can avoid going places where people smoke. But how is the porn addict supposed to separate themselves from their addiction?
You need a smartphone and laptop for work, social and other purposes. Yet on these very same devices can be found the addictive supernormal stimuli of pornography. This addictive stimuli can be accessed in approximately 2–3 seconds at any time; the only barrier to accessing pornography is needing to be in a private space.
What chance then does a porn addict have of curing their addiction? How can someone cure their addiction when the substance is so easily accessible and hard to separate from? By understanding and controlling the relapse.
