It's hard for me to stay away from chocolate. Let's say if I have chocolate in my house, it's hard for me to stay away. And I say, yeah, I have the willpower. I will not eat that. It's not healthy for me. But if I have your perspective and I say, look, it's 10:00pm Is this chocolate good for my body? Oh, it's definitely, definitely not.
And you can even take it a step bigger, a step deeper, because you can ask yourself, why am I craving this chocolate at 10pm for me, my behavior wasn't binge eating. It was pornography. So for me, when I was moving away from pornography, I tried willpower, and willpower always failed. In other words, I would go abstinent for six months, then I'd come back to it. Abstinent for nine months, go back to it, Abstinence for a few weeks, come back to it. There was always eventually a moment in time where the stress or the stress in my life or I became unconscious and disconnected, and all of a sudden, bam. I found myself back into porn consumption. It wasn't until I asked myself why. That is a really important question and a very important reflection.
