Re: Getting stuck in overdrive, swinging blood sugars, improved fasting hypoglycemia...
Good luck. I hope you can break it.
I think it is one of the hardest addictions to break. Unlike drugs, which is not a natural body function...wanting to have sex is a hard-wired biological function in all humans.
It just gets amplified, reinforced and twisted with p 0 r n. As soon as I knew coffee was bad....I stopped 8 years ago.
I've known for 9 years that p 0 r n and self-gratification were stressful, but have had a hard time breaking it. I've only recently felt a much reduced "pull" towards p 0 r n. Maybe it's the Healing Codes....don't know.
The other interesting thing is that when I went through what Dr Lam calls the Honeymoon phase, when I felt like I didn't have adrenal fatigue at all....I actually had NO desire to look at p 0 r n. I believe it was because my body was not looking for the surge in dopamine/epinephrine. Probably because my levels were higher.
What doesn't work, at least not for me, is to try to stop thinking of p 0 r n.
It's like if I tell you...whatever you do, do not think of a Pink Elephant. You just thought of a pink elephant didn't you !
You simply can not stop p 0 r n from popping in your head. How many times have you seen a pretty girl on TV...you get aroused...10 seconds later you are surfing p 0 r n sites. Your mind has just been hijacked by your subconscious.
So what I am trying to do is change my mental associations with p 0 r n. For example, when p 0 r n pops in my head, I make myself think of those poor woman probably being sexually abused when they were young girls, which is why they ended up in p 0 r n. And I don't want to take part in their continued exploitation.
Point is....it is impossible to stop thinking about it. So try to find way to think differently about it.
