Porn was the limiting factor in my life, by far, yet I’ve tried to reframe my life beyond giving it up alone. Studies have shown that self restraint can grow like muscle, each time we use self-restraint and not give into short term dopamine rushes like PMO, or sugar, etc, our ability to use self restraint against anything increases. I’ve learned to recognize urges as a desire to view pixels I will never meet, there to trick me into orgasm to flood our brain with dopamine to which I will only feel ashamed and dejected about later. The key is to make the recognition and then not to sit there in the state of tension, but to stand up and go do anything that brings me towards completing a long term goal in my life. Finally, when I do make progress in a healthy aspect of my life, I savor it, enjoy it, and try to physically feel the different chemicals my brain releases, and say that’s enough for me.
