Harms of Pornography, and Overcoming them

A friend asked if I would include this as a post in my blog as it is a problem he is most passionate about.  I asked him if I could just as easily include ANY addiction, be it eating disorders, drugs, alcohol, etc.  He said absolutely.  So, that said, it covers a large spectrum of people and may be of interest to you or a loved one who is in addictive bondage.  Check it out.  (I just may have to change my bog name, if I do much of this.)

The truth about pornography is that the neurochemical release porn viewing triggers in the brain is so intense, it can quickly create a literal “chemical dependency.” As a result, many neuroscientists refer to pornography as the most powerful drug in history.
Estimates indicate the number of people in the U.S. struggling with a “chemical addiction” like porn addiction could be as high as 60 million or more. Add struggling individuals worldwide to this total and the numbers are staggering!
If you’re straining under the negative effects of porn addiction, you’ve likely tried to stop countless times, only to fall right back into the habit. It’s not because you are weak, flawed or a lost cause. Everything you need to change is already built into the very structure of your brain—the same type of brain process that got you into this mess, can help get you out.

After many years of conducting therapy in their clinics, many therapists were frustrated by the fact that until they are “caught” or hit rock-bottom, most people will not seek help for pornography addiction or sexual addiction. They also noticed that even those who did come forward, struggled to maintain their initial recovery success for any significant period of time. To address these deeply concerning issues, Candéo was designed to offer a safe, professional and anonymous gateway to getting the change process started and then maintaining progress towards long-term, lasting change.

Imagine what it would be like to begin the process of changing your unwanted behaviors right here, right now—online. Imagine it would cost you less than $50 a month, for 24/7 access to an online recovery community, a live personal coach, and brain-science-based change techniques. Finally, imagine that the program is available anywhere in the world and that it targets difficult-to-change sexual behaviors like—pornography addiction, constant casual sexual encounters, compulsive masturbation, strained intimate relationships, and other out-of-control, unwanted sexual behaviors.

Pioneers in psychology, neuroscience and web technology have joined forces to create a behavioral change tool called Candéo (pronounced Can-day-oh). Candéo is an online behavioral change technology designed to deliver cutting-edge strategies for changing unwanted behaviors—all in the privacy and comfort of the individual’s own home.

How is it done? An engaging and interactive online platform provides individuals with the constant activation and reinforcement the brain needs to break old patterns and replace them with new modes of behavior. This process is carefully structured and designed to work hand-in-hand with traditional counseling and group meetings, or as a stand-alone program.
