Interview with Roman Mironov of NOFAP (1‪)‬ The Sex, Porn & Love Addiction Podcast

    • Self-Improvement

Don't think about having truly achieved sobriety until one year from the last acting out.

“A bit arbitrary Gary. Rather too long, don’t you think?” My reply is that the compulsive and addiction behaviours usually have a few decades start on you. In other words, many clients have been doing the behaviours for decades – often since childhood development. A habit; a hamster wheel behaviour pattern; otherwise more therapeutically called a neural pathway - is well established. 
It is not going to be possible to wean your brain – your physiology - off the biochemical fix of Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin & Noradrenaline, in a short time frame. There is a “cold turkey” effect. It is not like illegal drugs. The cold turkey effect is mood related. That is what the addiction was set up to manage.
And then that thing called “Insecure Attachment” again….
