Insights from todayβs chapters
03-01
The author speaks about how pmo affects his life
- Pied, hypofrontality etc
Hypofrontality - inability to control and execute action towards a goal which im facing through from last 2 yearsβ¦
The writer says he didnt enjoy pmo - rather did it routinely
There is nothing called controlled use.
He further tells : i thought that my life depended on this pleasure and i was prepared to die rather than without them. But today when some one asks me whether i ever have the old pang, the answer is - Never, Never and never. Its just the reverse - i have a marvelous life.
Anybody can not only stop, but find it easy to stop.
It is the fear that keeps is in the pmo trap
Fear - 1. That life will never be quite as enjoyable without pmo
2. Fear of feeling deprieved.(of dompamine/pleasure)

We dont finish this book because we feel we will have to give up something which according to many of us is the pleasure
But infact what we fail to think at the time of urges is that the the loneliness, guilt, sadness etc have taken the face of pleasure to lure us more in this addiction -
The books tells us to forget whatever reason we have to stop
Rather face the problem and ask ourselves -
What is the addiction doing for me?
-
Do i actually enjoy it?
Do i actually need to go through life using free internet po*n
And lastly to assure all the addicts
The book also tells
Life is more enjoyable and happier with pmo.

Even i used to consider pmo as habit because i just couldnt overcome it
The book tells
Are habits difficult to break?
Its a fallacy because we make and break habits everyday of our lives
Pmo is not a habit but an addiction
Why pmoerβs find it difficult to give up??
It is because they donot understand the addiction. The main reason is that pmoerβs are considered that they get some genuine pleasure and / or crutch from corn and believe that they are making genuinr sacrifice if they quit.

Reason for writing this summary is i just found it helpful
Infact now when i read it
I realised that im already on right path because all along from last few months i have been asking the right questions to myself
I quite donot agree with few points like not to abstain while reading
But for now ill shut my judment skill and will just read it
Read Chapter 7 , 8 , 9 and 10. I know there is nothing in Chapter 10 but still its a chapter tho . So I will consider it
Read chapter 7 β β β β β β β
Read chapter 4 and 5
Read chapter 7 and 8. May read more as I am free rn.
But these chapters are the bestβ¦
Read chapter 8 and 9
Good fr you man β¦keep moving forward and stay strong in the face of urges.
I assume it also get easier for as the brainwashing vanishes β¦Iβve almost completed the book but I mostly bookmarked it where I found it necessary.
Chapter 9 read. (Slow but steady)
Was getting urges then read this. Now I feel I just have one option to absorb this sexual energy not to let it out.
Read chapter 10 and 11
