    That's a good way to think about things in all areas of life. There's no winning just maintenance. Even in things like marriage. The "win" s getting the man or woman you love saying yes at the engagement and I do at the wedding hooray I have won I am married but that marriage needs to be maintained otherwise it falls apart. If you go the gym and become the strongest person in your entire nation or on the planet hooray you've won but next year will come and I'd you didn't maintain it you will have fallen off. If you are a music producer or artist and your song hits no .1 hooray you won but if you don't make another album or hit song bye bye fame. If you get a promotion at work and are now the boss hooray you've won but if you do not keep on top of the work bye bye higher position. And the same thing goes here for porn addiction. If you stop watching porn and hardly think about it then hooray you've won but if you decide that you dint have to fight it anymore and that watching a video is hardly gonna get you hooked on it again then say bye bye to celibacy

    Hey, Dr K? Could you make a video on spending addiction?
    It’s something that I and a lot of people struggle with that I think would be very helpful, especially since the economy is so rancid at the moment.
    Thank you, and words can’t describe how much I appreciate what you do.

    Yeah no don’t agree at all . Addiction doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Maybe for some people but not all people . Some people can get over addiction and carry on with a normal life . Stop labelling people as ”forever addicts“ . Thats really not helpful and actually leads to a life time of victim mentality and discrimination.

    I’ll be honest, any time I “beat” addiction of any kind, be it substance or pornography, it was mostly because I forgot it exists. Something came along in my life that helped complete me – a job, friends, extracurricular activities n shit. Things that built self esteem. Those things formed a basis where I didn’t even need addiction. Once a few of those components soured or went away, addiction creeps back.

    I love how almost all of the top comments are reddit/bot type humor making the exact same joke. This is a serious topic and this short video actually has a ton of nuanced insight that is being pushed aside for an NPC-tier joke in place of discourse. Do you people actually watch these videos for help or is your entire existence based on trying to gain upvotes?

    I have been watching porn since I was 13. But I came to realize the reason why I started was to escape something I did back then which I’m not proud of. You have to find why you started to understand why you started it in the first place. I know everyone’s answer is usually “oh because I was horny. Oh I like it”. But it’s usually something deeper. Your mind has a way of hiding things from you until your mind and body are ready to face them. Porn also fortifies your mind by masking your emotions so consciously you think you are fine and it’s probably because “you are just horny” for pixels on a screen.

    How do you explain those who have resisted smoking for decades and in fact are repulsed by even just the thought of it. Is this due to the neurological changes that have been made or is it due to something else? I’ve often heard that those who have stopped smoking for a lengthy period of time can’t even stand to be around secondhand smoke. Please elaborate on what might be going on with such people.

    Just like people have physical attributes that are on a scale of being optimal to suboptimal, the brain is the same way. You can't control if you have an irregularity of uptakes or excretions of brain chemicals (unless self-induced). So when you can't beat an "addiction", its like saying you can't beat that you will ever have a normal release/uptake of dopamine. So that's why its important to go and go see a doctor, run a psychology panel and address the root of the issue.

    Because if you end up stumbling on a behavior/activity like porn/drugs, you're doing them for a reason and the root of the issue forementioned. Unless you address the issue, you already created a void of what you're missing in unhealthy means.

    I've found the best way to deal with addiction is to mentally take away the pull to it, then you don't have the desire to go there anymore. You don't have to constantly fight something you don't want, but it takes a while and a lot of failures to get there in my experience. But forbidden fruit and making something better than it is will keep you hooked for life

    that's why i have a tattoo "ALWAYS STARVING"
    to remind me that i cannot escape the craving, i can just learn how to channel it into something that doesn't cost me more energy that it gives me

    This is a bunch of crap. Smells of AA garbage of "you're always recovering." There's no scientific evidence backing that up. You can move on past addiction. And it's funny because the people I tend to see with the highest rates of relapse are AA people who buy into that crap. These groups also basically trade drugs for groups so when someone misses a group they've convinced themselves they need to go back to drugs. They're not encouraged to live their lives and want better for themselves
