Temporary Relief v Glamourising

When I was in a porn addiction, I often felt like porn was this amazing thing. I put it on a pedestal. But, nowadays I can see things more clearly and understand that the glamourising came from the addicted part of the mind (APOTM).

Imagine yourself in 3rd person for a moment looking at porn. It suddenly becomes a lot less glamourous. It is engaging in a compulsive behaviour. It is being out of control. It is feeling anxious and overstimulated.

It is letting yourself down. Going against your own values. There is nothing glamourous about it. The APOTM just wants you to feel deprived and wants you to engage. That is to be expected. If you choose to engage, you are not left with a list of amazing benefits afterwards. You get temporary relief from the discomfort of withdrawal for a short while and then you are left with a ton of heavy consequences. This is all for today. If you are sick of relapsing and want to change book in a 1-1 discovery call with myself.
