Back Up Plan?

It's true - PMO is a total liar and those whispers are absolutely untrue however they seem so plausible at the time. For me the biggest lie has been "Go ahead - there are no consequences". I now see that this is utterly untrue. The consequences are huge. But it's just like one more donut or bar of chocolate - they take some time to catch up with you. Then one day you look at yourself and discover 300 pounds where there used to be only 140. How did that happen? Consequences.

So every day I remind myself of the consequences. Loss of relationships, loss of self respect, loss of trust, loss of energy, loss of integrity, loss of confidence, loss of sexual function, loss of clarity of mind, loss of inner calm, loss of healthy attitudes to women, loss of a healthy attitude to myself. Need I go on? And what's the gain? A few seconds of chemical rush which has no lasting value and leave you feeling worse.

So if you knew for certain that one more fap was going to result in you being exposed to your family, friends, life partner, kids, neighbours etc and possibly result in loss of sexual function for life and even imprisonment (as has happened to some through porn addictions) what would you do? I guess none of us would sign up for that. But because it happens gradually, one more instance isn't going to result in all that jazz. So one more is ok - isn't it? No it's not. One more fap is one more nail in the coffin of healthy confident living. For me it isn't worth it and I'm not going to listen to the lie.

Does that make sense for anyone?

 

Excellently put. I came on here because I was just having some urges but this post has really helped put them in an appropriate context. Thanks for this.
