Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Zane]

Shannon,

I’ve noticed a significant decrease in my desire for porn and masturbation as well as desire to bite or chew on my nails over the past several weeks I’ve also noticed a decreased desire and craving of sugar, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine - I have been on USLM3 since it’s release so almost 2 months now.

Could it be that these cravings/desires are rooted in fear and therefore by getting rid of the fear I am also getting rid of these bad habits/cravings/desires- or is just that the program believes these things to be in the way given the goals of the program and my conscious goals

Those things are all responses to fear. They are ways of "self medicating" to deal with, distract from and hide from fear. But they obviously don't work, or there wouldn't be a need for all of them.

It's amazing what fear does to us, which we don't even know it's doing.

Shannon,

I only imagine what would this be like in addiction like STMA and No-Smoking sub.

I am making progress on my Nofap journey first time in my life...Check my journal.
