The goal of porn addiction recovery

For years I had no real direction.
I jumped from one strategy to another, hoping to finally quit porn for good.
I went on streak after streak and stayed stuck in the addiction whilst convincing myself that I was making progress.
Back then, I didn't believe it would be possible to change my brain so much that I wouldn't even have the urges anymore.
My personal goal is to continue living a Life Beyond Compulsion so I can continue:
To feel 100% in control of myself
To spend 0 time engaging in any "bad habit"
Experience zero fear around the addiction
Talk about it as something I experienced in the past as it's now a non-issue
My business goal is to help people go down the exact same path as me so they can achieve this too.
And with some sticky notes and terrible hand-writing in Miro - we have the straight line path fully mapped out.
When you connect to the neural pathway of compulsive desire correctly, and think through the choice in that moment consistently and repeatedly - a new level of freedom is acquired.
Permanent mental freedom is possible.
Going beyond experiencing urges is possible. This, I believe, is the goal that people in an addiction should aim for.
