6.1 Stress
Reading Time: 2.5 minutes
Not only great tragedies in life, but also minor stresses drive users into the forbidden βunsafeβ area previously excluded. Stresses include socialising, phone calls, anxieties of the housewife with young children, and many others. Letβs take phone calls as an example, particularly for a businessperson. Most calls arenβt from satisfied customers or your boss congratulating you, thereβs some sort of aggravation. Coming home to mundane family life of kids screaming and their partnerβs emotional demands causes the user β if they arenβt already doing so β to fantasise the relief of ππππ promised that night. They unconsciously suffer withdrawal pangs, destressors weakened and unprepared for additional aggravation. Partially relieving the pangs at the same time as normal stress, the total is reduced and the user gets a temporary boost. The boost isnβt an illusion, the user does genuinely feel better than before, but theyβre more tense than they would be as a non-user.
The following example isnβt designed to shock you β EasyPeasy promises no such treatment β but is to emphasise that ππππ destroys your nerves rather than relaxing them.
Try to imagine getting to the stage where youβre unable to be aroused, even with a very sxy and attractive partner. For a moment, pause and try to visualise life where a very lovely and charming person has to compete and fail with the virtual ππππ stars occupying your βharemβ to get your attention. Imagine the frame of mind of a person who, when issued with that warning, continues using and dies without ever having real sex with this charming and willing partner. Itβs easy to dismiss these people as weirdos, but stories like these arenβt fakes β this is what the awful novelty of the ππππ drug does to your brain. The more you go through life, the more courage is sapped and the more youβre deluded into believing ππππ is doing the opposite.
Have you ever been overtaken by panic when out of the blue the WiFi stops working or is too slow? Non-users donβt suffer from it, as internet ππππ causes that feeling. As you go through life, it systematically destroys your nerve and courage, leaving DeltaFosB to form powerful neural water slides in its wake, progressively destroying your ability to say no. By the stage where virility has been killed, the user believes ππππ is their new partner and is unable to face life without it.
Internet ππππ isnβt relieving your nerves, itβs slowly destroying them. One of the great gains of breaking the addiction is the return of your natural confidence and self-assurance.
Thereβs no need to rate yourself on your ability to satisfy a partner β this isnβt freedom. But this freedom cannot be obtained by continuing to grease the dopamine water slide in ways that undercut your happiness and libido by repeating the same destructive behaviour.
