You Can't Beat An Addiction

so first thing you've got to understand

is that an addiction is not you can't

beat an addiction so if you even like

use that terminology so this implies

that there is an opponent and once the

opponent is vanquished it is dead

forever I won the game is over that's

not how addictions work so addictions

are things that are with you all the

time you never win you just win the

battle today you can't ever really win

the war I mean you can we'll get to that

later but biggest mistake that so many

people make with pornography addiction

is that they try to beat it how do I

Vanquish it and why is that it's because

people are tired of dealing with it so

the desire to beat it comes out of a

fantasy of no longer wanting to fight it

every day working as an addiction

psychiatrist the worst thing that I want

is a patient who thinks they have beaten

their addiction because that's when the

addiction really trips you up your guard

is down now that you've won it is people

who have constant vigilance until

certain neuroscientific changes are made

that's really when you can conquer it

but for now don't try to beat it try to

resist
