Have you ever heard the phrase “kicking against the pricks?” Picture sawing against the grain or paddling upstream. These phrases all refer to doing something against the natural and intended way. This typically leads to frustration in emotion and in progress. We must learn how to break a porn addiction or we will be broken against it.
While there are methods that help many break free from the chains of addiction to pornography there are also reasons deep down that are very individual to he who is chained. In the course of most therapies designed for addictions you’ll find some way to get at these often “hidden” reasons. Many addictions have a long history that has often been forgotten. Abuse, abandonment, neglect and other root causes could have been tossed into the back of the memory rarely accessed by the one addicted.
However, it is essential that whatever program you use that it has opportunities and even guided helps on accessing those unwanted memories that may have been swept under the rugs of the mind. Reframing these hurts will help you learn how to deal with new pains that you will inevitably encounter.
Breaking a porn addiction also involves gaining a greater understanding of the process of addiction. How the mind works in becoming increasingly more visible and a knowledge of this can help facilitate much needed kindness towards yourself. Understanding the mind’s role in your addiction will also give you powerful awareness of how to use your brain in your favor instead of letting pornography use it against you.
Another key element in breaking a porn addiction is learning to listen. I’m not talking about learning to listen to pour parents, spouse or clergyman, though also have their place and could be a natural outgrowth of what I’m talking about here. No, I’m talking about learning to listen to yourself.
A quiet place, a piece of paper and a list of honest questions to ask yourself can do wonders. Ponder the answers to the questions like, Why do I look at pornography? What do I really want? What does God know that could help? As you think on these and other questions that come to mind you may just have a slue of personal insight that no program can provide…unless of course it has you do this activity as well
