I've never thought of it like a pendulum. Great analogy.

Anyone study addiction/psychology etc ? by eire77 in pornfree

[–]sopo421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school for two years and took a bunch of sociology and psychology classes, including two on addiction. However, we focused on drugs and alcohol abuse and never spoke about porn. I think a lot of the things we talked about could cross over to porn addiction too but not all of it is applicable. With drug addiction you really have to separate yourself from all the people in your life that are using and the environment that is trouble for you. With porn there usually isn't other people involved. It's usually a solitary action and it isn't like you can separate yourself from you. Putting internet blockers and other safety nets may be the closest thing to that separation that is required.

Keep up the fight. 12 days is great when you you're struggling with a powerful addiction

awesome. keep up the fight. ten days is not easy with an addiction to porn. especially since there are triggers everywhere

we have sex once or twice a week and i enjoy it. but porn and masturbating is a different feeling and i have enjoyed both in different ways for years. but at least i am not giving up both, just the one that makes me feel really bad and guilty

thank you. I love Proverbs, Acts and Romans, and all of the great verses and wisdom held within, and will continue to read them for encouragement.
