I've realized something about my pornography addiction. It doesn't control my mind or my body as much as it controls my heart. When I give into temptation, it usually does not start with a thought or an action. It's hard to explain the way I feel when I go without it. Pushing it out of my head doesn't work any better than telling a starving man to not think about food. I literally begin to feel an emptiness in my heart. A hunger. I can try to think about other things, but the hunger lingers. I don't understand. Do I have to put up with this feeling of "starvation" for the rest of my life?
I can't do it. I can't feel like this for the rest of my life. I don't know what to do. Please. Any advise would be appreciated.
