How to Break Porn Addiction - 3 Fundamentals

Online Dating  Dating a Bimbo    Have you ever tried to row a boat up a downward flowing stream? It's almost like trying to cut a piece of wood with a carving knife, but doing it against the grain. Sure these tasks are both possible, but you may be in for some frustration. You are doing something against natures intended way or "kicking against the pricks?" The same holds true with addictions, we must learn how to naturally break a porn addiction or we may just be broken against it.
Every person suffering from an addiction to pornography has deep-seeded reasons for turning to porn to handle their life situations rather than finding constructive ways of coping. These can be very individual causes.
Many programs designed for treating addiction include some way to get at these often "hidden" reasons. Some addictions have a long history that has often been suppressed. Abuse, neglect and other root causes are sometimes tossed into the back of the memory, rarely to be retrieved.
It is important that the program you choose provides guided instruction to help you get at the root of any unwanted memories that may have been swept under the rug. A reframing of these pains will help you gain confidence to face life's inevitable trials.
Breaking a porn addiction will involve coming to a greater awareness of the process and progression of addiction. How the mind works is a topic that is receiving much more attention these days. A basic knowledge of what's going on upstairs can really allow you to cut yourself some needed slack and to realize that your mind is working against you. Understanding the brain's role in your addiction will also let you know how to use it to your good and how to break free from the cold clutches of pornography.
Another essential component in breaking a porn addiction is learning how to listen to yourself. Find a quiet place. Take a notebook, a pen and some sincere questions. Looking inward before you take a step outward is a powerful skill to master. Because you are often led to walk by the voices in your head, it's pretty important to get them straight so you can help direct your destination.
Ask yourself questions like, "Why do I view porn? What is it I am seeking? What does God know that could help me out?" As you ponder these and other questions that come to you, you may just be in store for some profound personal insight that no program can provide... unless of course it has you do this activity as well :)
