How Did Your Porn Habit Serve You?

It's a daring question to ask and the answers can be enlightening. To find the answers to this question, we will revisit your Addict Self.

Our addictions (and bad habits) ultimately serve us in a positive way.

It's just that we tend to forget how exactly our addiction is linked to a positive outcome.

Oftentimes, these "positive outcomes" come from a long time ago - usually childhood. As we get older, our addictions no longer have the same positive effect on us anymore.

But we don't know that. Therefore, we keep engaging with our addictive behaviour.

Today, we want to find out what the positive function of our porn addiction is.

Then we will examine it, and see if we can let it go.

Here's How:

Get in contact with your Addict Self
Ask your Addict Self the following questions:
1. What are you trying to protect me from?
2. What do you think would happen if I stopped watching porn?
3. What age do you think I am?
You can also ask yourself (and your Addict Self) more questions like:
1. What does this remind me of?
2. Am I getting some kind of enjoyment out of being in the role of the addict?

Action Steps

Like last time, get in touch with your Addict Self
Try to get into the flow with your writing
Ask some or all of the suggested questions above and see where it leads you.

Milestone 2 🏁
