1. Fear of Future Withdrawal Pangs:

   • Phase One - Immediate Fear:
     • This fear arises when thinking about surviving without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, especially if single or with an uninterested partner.
     • It’s a psychological fear, not due to withdrawal pangs, but due to perceived dependency.
     • The hardest part is the initial launch into quitting, similar to diving off a board. Courage to start makes the rest easier.
   • Phase Two - Long-term Fear:
     • This fear concerns future situations being less enjoyable or harder to cope with without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇.
     • The reality is that life improves without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, even in stressful or social situations.

2. Avoiding Temptation:

   • Category One: Gradual Reduction Approach:
     • Trying to reduce 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 use gradually (e.g., a 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 diet) often leads to higher failure rates.
     • This method creates a psychological safety net, making it easier to relapse during weak moments.
     • Success requires total commitment and certainty, rather than partial measures.
   • Category Two: Social and Stressful Situations:
     • Stressful Situations: Avoid undue stress during the initial withdrawal period.
     • Social Events: Engage in social activities right away to celebrate freedom from 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and enjoy life without the pressure of needing a session.

Summary:
Fear of withdrawal, both immediate and long-term, can keep users hooked on 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. However, this fear is largely psychological. Facing and overcoming the initial fear of quitting is crucial. Avoid gradual reduction methods and fully commit to quitting. Avoid unnecessary stress, but don’t shy away from social events; enjoying these moments without the need for 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 will reinforce the benefits of a 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇-free life.
