Its Dependency, Not Addiction
Addiction, Addict Or Any Word Ending In “ism” Are Counterproductive Labels
No Substance Or Media Is A Disease
Everything Is Completely Curable
It’s A Dependency Rather Than An Addiction And Its Caused By One Or More Of The 4 Reasons For Dependency
More Work must be put into addressing Reasons instead of Symptoms

Four Reasons For Dependency
Past Events That Haven’t Been Dealt With
Inability to Cope With Present Stressors
Beliefs Held that are not True
Chemical Imbalance
All who become dependant on substances or media develop a chemical imbalance even if they didn’t have one before.

Three Steps to Cure Dependency
Believe that a Cure is Possible
Work Through the Reasons for Dependency
Adopt a Belief System that is Consistent with Truth
This includes using “Face it – Replace it” to view temptations and sexual urges in their proper light

Two Major Parts to Overcoming
Underlying Reasons for Dependency
Everyone has these to one degree or another
Many people need therapy to properly deal with these, some more than others
Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS)
Everyone has to go through PAWS
Can last anywhere from approx a month to 18 Months
In many cases a safe rehab-like environment is necessary to give person a fighting chance.
If underlying reasons are playing a big part and not dealt with then PAWS is 2 times or more difficult

Dealing With Past Events
A very common thread among those dependant on substances is a childhood void
Different types of therapy may be necessary
Feeling oriented Family/Marriage therapy works on the inner child
Psychotherapy works on bringing competence to the conscious mind
Hypnotherapy works on changing the false beliefs stubbornly guarded by the subconscious

Dealing With Beliefs Held That Are Not True
Many False Beliefs Stem from Childhood neglect and Abuse
Seems some type of spiritual belief and knowing purpose in life is a must
Therapy Will Help a lot with changing negative beliefs

Chemical Imbalance
All dependencies seem to primarily involve unnatural levels of dopamine but all chemicals are negatively effected in some way
Chemical imbalance may have existed before the dependency on media or substance because of previous neglect or abuse
Everyone who becomes dependent on substances or media create an imbalance
Getting through PAWS means getting your chemical balance back

Chemical Imbalance Continued
Supplements can help bring balance faster making PAWS less difficult
Therapy, Exercise, Diet, and most of all staying away from drug of choice brings back balance
Rehab is for those whose chemical imbalance has become so bad that their body now has more control than they do
Rehab gives just enough time for some of the chemical balance to return and in turn gain some will power back

Chemical Imbalance Continued
A Neurotransmitter Test is a Good Idea for Those Who Feel They Have or Already Previously Had a Serious Chemical Imbalance
Phenylalanine Helps to Increase Dopamine Levels but Needs to Be Done With Proper Diet, Exercise and Therapy as Needed

Natural Dopamine Levels

Brain Dopamine Levels (DA)

Probable Porn Viewing Dopamine Levels

Porn Viewing and Dopamine
Healthy sex has a spike in dopamine then a gradual drop off.
Porn viewing unnaturally keeps dopamine levels at a constant and for a longer period of time, especially as the person views newer and more perverse material to keep stimulation high.
This surely causes dopamine receptor reduction which increases dependency on porn to avoid feeling the dullness caused by receptor reduction.

Dopamine Receptor Reduction
