Unstuff Your Emotions

If you're trying to quit pornography, here's the thing you really need to wrap your head around.

Somewhere in your life, you are stuffing emotions.

You simply aren't letting them out.

For some of you, this could be your job stressing you out but acting like everything is fine.

For others, you may feel like your parents try to control your life so you constantly feel this overwhelming sense of frustration and even hatred towards them.

And for others, it could look like things going really well for you but you not being able to actually show that joy and happiness so you keep it inside.

What happens is we experience these emotions and we stuff them down inside of ourselves because we think it's wrong to express them or we get in trouble when we do.

Believe it or not, our brains and our bodies don't like stuffing emotions. They NEED to get out!

And because they NEED to get out, we always find a way. For a lot of us, the only way we know how to release those emotions is through pornography.

Porn is a place where we can give (and be) all of ourselves without the risk of getting in trouble or doing something wrong.

Believe it or not, porn is actually a safe place for you to express your emotions which is why it's so hard to stop using it. It's literally your only pressure-relief valve for your emotional tank thats busting at the seams.

How do I know this?

Because four years ago, that's exactly where I was. I was terrible with emotions. I still am, but have improved enough to understand what I'm feeling and express those feelings instead of stuffing them down inside.

What's the result of choosing to express your emotions instead of stuffing them?

You can overcome pornography, you just haven't learned how yet.

This is the first step.
