What I learned at Passages of Malibu and Candeocan.com
1. What I Learned at Passages of
Malibu Combined With
Candeocan.com Recovery Program
2. 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
3. Four Reasons For Dependency
1. Past Events That Haven’t Been Dealt With
2. Inability to Cope With Present Stressors
3. Beliefs Held that are not True
4. Chemical Imbalance
– All who become dependant on substances or
media develop a chemical imbalance even if they
didn’t have one before.
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
7. 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
8. 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
9. 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
10. 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
14. 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.
16. When Candeocan.com is Effective?
• Candeo is always Effective
• Candeo is Most Effective When Underlying
Issues are Resolved since Porn viewing is the
symptom
• It is also Effective even while the person deals
with underlying issues so they can gain the
brain science knowledge and the truth about
temptations and sexual urges
