Detox Ain't A Rental: myth on UD

[myth]

This is sounding very cool, though not many are reporting on this program so i'm not totally sure.

Totally agree with you on the uncertainty. I have no idea how much of this is UD, me, or the combination of both. It may be that the specifics (emotions, thoughts) are me, but the general direction (nightmares/peacefulness) is UD. No idea.

I feel like it might be good to help healing more without that obsession on girls and sex, because with DMSI I kept getting pulled back to that which made it harder to work on healing. But reading 'detox' on the sales page makes me think it might not help.

I'm not sure if this is any easy sub for predicting how you'll respond to it. I expected physical detoxing, but I'm hitting very different areas of "all of myself" than that. Not that I'm not physically detoxing (have been for months), but that's stayed roughly the same.

But reading what you're saying in the last 2 posts, sounds pretty awesome!

I certainly don't regret choosing UD. I can't be sure which parts of those posts appeal to you, but, if the last post sounded less controversial than I'd expected, maybe I will share a core concept from my offline journal that developed from the whole balance thing:

Change itself could be seen as a pendulum between one's past flaws (step 0) and one's present overcorrections (step 1) that precedes the future balanced solution (step 2) in the center, and a person may impatiently mistake an overcorrection (step 1) for a complete solution (step 2) because they have very little frame of reference for telling steps 1 and 2 apart.

That concept clarifies quite a few things for me. Like why "inconsistent results" might not be inconsistent. Because they're not always the one-and-done trip from step 0 to step 1 that people want them to be... or a one-and-done trip from step 1 to step 2 either. Or like why people want to stick with the opposite extreme, stopping progress because they see balance as a step backward from success instead of a step forward to stability. Or like why some changes seem to revert after a while.

Again, this is just one simplified point of view about some types of changes. I'm not claiming any accuracy here, and different types of changes could easily be affected by different factors. But it's a neat way to look at it.
