Day 8 (How to overcome Porn) How does Porn affect our bodies and brains? Dr William Struthers teaches that viewing pornography and masturbation actually weakens the region of our brain known as the cingulate cortex, which is responsible for moral and ethical decision-making and will power. When watching porn or having sex dopamine is released into a region of the brain responsible for emotions and learning, giving the viewer a sense of sharp focus and a sense of craving. I need this thing and I need it now, it supplies a great sense of pleasure. . the next time the viewer gets the itch for more sexual pleasure, small packets of dopamine are released telling the user remember where you got your fix the last time go there to get it. NOREPINEPHRINE is also released, creating alertness and focus. It is the brain’s version of adrenaline. It tells the brain “something is about to happen and we need it to get ready for it. Sex or porn triggers the release of oxytocin and vasopressin. These hormones bind a person’s memories to the object that gave him or her the sexual pleasure. The body releases endorphins, natural opiates that create a “high” a wave of pleasure over the whole body. After sexual release, serotonin levels also change bringing the sense of calm and relaxation. This works the way it is supposed to work when you’re having sex with your spouse. Together you can experience a high, an alertness of sexual pleasure, and the deep calm afterwards (norepinephrine, endorphins and serotonin). With each sexual embrace, when the two become one flesh you are emotionally bonding to this person (oxytocin and vasopressin.) Over time a craving for sex is transformed into a desire for one another (Dopamine). When you engage in Porn, this whole process is distorted. When you understand how porn affects your body and brain, its easier to avoid it altogether.

The Not So Little Voice

What no one told me is that not eating was just as bad as not eating enough. I always assumed that as long as you ate something, it wasn't an eating disorder. Throughout high school I battled with what the scale said back to me. Senior year happened and I just broke. I ate dinner sure but nothing else. I dropped 30 pounds in a month. No one knew. I was complimented on for it. Hell I didn't even know it wasn't healthy. I remember just striving to make the scale say what I wanted it to. Years later I still have to battle with the voice in my head telling me just to skip a meal but now, my body feels great. It's not the healthiest it could be but it's mine and mine alone. I celebrate the curves it makes and rejoice at how it makes me feel. The road to recovery isn't easy. It's not only a battle of the body but the mind as well. I believe that you can do it, now believe in yourself too.

OneRepublic - Apologize will always be my favourite song ever, because of the first time I heard it, when I was really struggling with everything that had happened, every time I hear it now, I get chills, I go back to being the 15 year old me, I remember everything I was thinking & feeling that day, and how I heard this song, and changed my mind, I didn't have to run away, because I was the victim, not you. I can never forgive you, and I can never forget, but I'm a better person than to spend my life resenting you, because you have to live with what you did, I choose not to, I've let it go, I've achieved my biggest dream by being able to New York, and I did that because I refused to deny myself, because I nearly died that night, now, I can hold my head high, and say I made it.... You didn't beat me, you didn't win, you're just a nameless monster... I survived, and it's too late for you to apologize....
