I see porn addiction is a war between two parts of my brain: The logical, moral side and the emotional, depraved side. I do not want to look at porn. I don't want to masturbate to it. Hell, after over 5 years, I've come to view it as downright evil. But once the cravings start, all of these principles go out the window. Like the siren's song, I abandon all reason and crash my boat into the rocks. Depending on how far I am into a reboot, sometimes I can resist. Sometimes I cannot resist, but conscientiously object through the entire ordeal. Other times I shrug my shoulders and say, "Might as well enjoy this if it's going to happen." The more you do it in a short time, the harder it is to get back on the wagon. Is there a technique anyone here uses to overcome the cravings? A thought or an emotion that helps pull you out of your urge and get your head back on straight so you can fight back?
