The cost of watching porn

When I used to watch porn, I would feel frustrated afterwards. I felt like I'd wasted so much time and energy. I felt like it promised so much, but when I'd finish - I'd be left with nothing.

I felt empty, cheated, and annoyed at myself for being so stupid.

I now understand that the only thing people get from watching porn is temporary relief. And if you choose to engage, you will wire your brain to want it more. More desire. If you choose to act on this desire, you will get temporary relief again. This cycle can last a lifetime. And it will cost you dearly.

Not necessarily financially, but with something much more precious - your life.

You will pay for it with your peace of mind, your energy, your time, your confidence, and your mental stability.

This is the reality, let's not downplay it.

Yesterday, I was checking in with a client who has been on the straight line for months now. He has been thriving in this time. He is winning in so many areas of his life. And we have a recording of our 1-1 straight line call together within the Beyond Compulsion Academy.

In this straight line call he talks more about how he has been able to protect his child self from the addicted part of the mind.

He shares how he has been able to stand up to people and speak from a place of true confidence and stability. And he has had a lot of fun with friends too. This is it. This is the goal. To live freely, without the uncertainty of how to deal with compulsive desires.

Having received everything required to shift from helplessness into empowerment, he is ready to take his education and continue making choices he is proud of, outside of our program.

He is the captain of his own ship and he knows how to deal with every single wave that comes his way. We just gave him the right tools to build his ship. His reply to my message was very heart-warming.

This client now understands the true cost of choosing to engage in compulsive behaviours.

He knows exactly how to make the right choice, repeatedly, using his script.

It is messages like this which makes our work so fulfilling. When we understand the addicted part of the mind inside and out and know exactly how to deal with it, at all times, we can truly take back control.

We can get on the straight line and stay stopped for good, moment by moment, without ever worrying about relapsing again.

Permanent mental freedom is possible.
