    I always thought that it was, but it feels like all this qualities, are not enough but need it. Yes. You need it but it's simply not enough. The war against this addiction is similar to other addictions, but not the same. This one its harder to say the least.
    Awareness i belive to be one of the most important abilitie to being able to progress in this journey. But is easiest said than done. The problem is that when the triggers come. They like burning arrows, sharp and fast..and they are just not easy to stop. Takes practice and alot of work, alot of self control, love for you're self and others, also need higher priorities in life, well about any pleasure.
    Need to accept pain and undertand that is unfair but the only ways to succeed.
    Im analyzing all this things, and I belive also that is important. Everyone have to undertand them self. Reading someone else can be helpful but it won't be enough. You need to understand you're self. I still trying to accomplish that. This is a journey that things become real. The things you thought where easy ... Here you find up their not. And if you thought you're had enough. Here you come to the realization that you don't have enough. But you could have enough, that will take hard hard work. If you don't know why you want this, then pleasure will be way to hard to turn off. If you still giving you're self alternative in feeling that pleasure then you still not ready. That I'm saying it by my own experience.
    I want to really love my self. And become my friend. That voice that we all know. In our case is our enemy.... But what if we can turn it in our friend, can you imagine how helpful that would be.

    It feels like you felt a lot going this way. Does it feel better now when you wrote it all out of yourself?
