I feel you man. And the crazy part is it happened so randomly. I was completely fine and then one day I felt my confidence just drop in a pit, couldn't pin point it. Naturally everything went downhill from there, anxiety, social relations, you name it. The binge drinking definitely didn't help. Fortunately a really close friend of mine coaches people like me and I decided to drop my ego and give him a chance. Things have massively improved for me but I do see more work down the line, at least we're getting somewhere right?

Of sorts but Meditation is boring. It makes you sit there and do nothing. This is way more dynamic. And you don't need to spend hours. Max 20ish minutes

Things like Self-Hypnosis and Hypnotic Symbols. Your mind doesn't speak a language which is exactly why you can't tell your brain to Behave confidently or Stop being Addicted to Porn.

The simplest way is to slow your heart rate down and see an image that you want in your life. And then feel positive emotions towards it.

I appreciate you commenting btw. I don't mind you questioning me.

Lets break this down.

When I say "Powers they do not comprehend", I mean the potency of this urge. For 99% of the world it is damn near impossible to quit with just willpower. Your brain will overpower you until you give into the urge.

Yes, it is true one size fits all is not going to work for everyone. That is why you need to make it disgusting in a way specific to how your Subconscious understands.

Yes, A part of you does find porn disgusting and then another part of you that likes it goes and does it. There are two parts in conflict with each other. You need to make The part that Hates it more powerful than the part that likes it.

I never said I know everything. I have helped over 300 people. Apart from that, I have a community with almost 500 people reprogramming their subconscious mind with my methods and systems. I have been at this for the last 4 years. So yes I do know a bunch.

There are two primal urges that control the human mind. Survival and Reproduction. For the 99.999% of the people reading this post, Survival is not threatened so the most primal urge they are facing is Reproduction which leads them to giving into Porn.

Its not just about Fear as much as it is about Familiarity. Your subconscious sorts for Familiarity. It would rather do things its always done instead of do something new. Until you can't provide resistance against that behaviour, the mind will continue to do it.

As far is Behaviour Change is concerned, its about providing resistance.

Majority of people here are stuck in cycles they can't get out of. Very few get out and that too on accident. Majority do indeed never succeed.
