For me a huge help has been knowing how this addiction is connected to our brain and that it is a human problem - not just a spiritual one. Our brains can be reprogrammed just the same way that we conditioned them to want this dopamine high, it just needs time to heal. Not that the temptation or ability to give in to it goes away, but the longer we can stay clean - the better our chances are of staying clean because our brain circuits are being cleaned up. Not sure what your significant other's plan is, but if they haven't already checked out your brain on porn .com it's a great resource, same as gabe deem's youtube videos.
- stay vigilant
Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry to hear that your significant other has this problem, but it sounds like he is on the right track.I wish you well in your recovery…you are human - but you can overcome this…your strength and knowledge will prevail.
