"Follow the technique"

When I was struggling with a porn addiction, I tried a lot of things to quit.

But, the main problem was my inability to deal with urges correctly.

As such, I tried to avoid urges. I wasn't in control of my own mind. I was being bullied by the addicted part of my mind (APOTM) and had little self-trust. Yesterday, I did something which I couldn't have imagined ever doing in the past.

I spoke to my Mum about my experience of porn addiction.

I shared how I had erectile dysfunction that very first time. I told her how I watched porn in the bedroom next to hers every night between the ages of 12 and 16.

And I did all of this with a mic and a camera right by me. A podcast episode of our full chat will be shared next month. I wanted to show how when you have the right education, your porn addiction becomes a thing of the past. I'm happy to tell anyone about this horrible thing I went through.

This part of my life which happened to me because of the messed up society I grew up in and the lack of support I received. And the reason I'm so comfortable talking about it now is because I am in 100% control of my choices. I know the APOTM inside and out and I've successfully mastered it. I realise that porn has very little to do with sexual desires and everything to do with compulsive desires. And I've followed a technique that works to change my neural pathways correctly.

This week a client inside of the Beyond Compulsion Academy shared "with practice and courage and patience one can truly change their addicted neural pathways" he is right.

When you follow a technique and experience the changes, you get to discover that there wasn't anything wrong with you after all. And it was the techniques you were trying that were wrong.
