Don't try to think your way into a new kind of acting, act your way into a new kind of thinking.For most of my life I used to look at the things that I did as a consequence of who I was. For example if I got a bad grade in school, I would think, that this was a result of me being a stupid person.Now I realize it is not who I am that determines what I do; but in opposite, it is what I do, the choices that I make on a daily basis, that determines who I am. If I choose to eat healthy, if I choose to Read more [...]

Recent research from Cambridge University indicates that " running stimulates the brain to grow fresh grey matter and it has a big impact on mental ability".This was exactly my experience when I was struggling to break out from my addictive cycle. As the research indicates "A few days of running led to the growth of hundreds of thousands of newbrain cells that improved the ability to recall memories withoutconfusing them, a skill that is crucial for learning and othercognitive tasks".

1. What does a “Power greater than ourselves” mean to you? To me a “Power greater than myself” means the principle that governs the universe. I do not have full capacity to understand it, but I can safely conclude from my observations and everything that I know in life that there is a certain method to the madness. This rule, this law gives me confidence that there is an appropriate consequence to every action. And that I need to do good things if I want good things in my life. After joining Read more [...]

About a week ago I decided to suggest on my blog that Tiger Woods could be a sex addict. In the past 6 months I’ve been watching recent sex scandals fairly close and did not notice much controversy surrounding any of them. For one reason or another, Tiger Woods’ case has exploded. There are thousands of websites speculating about Tiger Woods being a sex addict and digging through his dirty laundry. Everybody acts so shocked about the fact that a role model and an excellent athlete would Read more [...]

I have masturbated compulsively 2-4 times a day since I was 11 years old and through the most of my adult life. Since I was a little child I came to believe that it was just a physical need and that I had no ways of controlling it. I have tried to stop before, but I did not understand my "strong sexual drive" fueled by my choices of daily activities and therefore was not able to control my masturbation.
A year ago I finally had enough as I described in my previous post 7 Steps to Recovery:

I have read somewhere that there was a brain study that looked at a group of people who where told to learn how to juggle. After a few months of practice all of the people showed increased amount of tissue that connected their left and right brain. After reading this I decided that juggling could be beneficial for my own health, and decided to learn how to juggle. There was also an emotional attachment to this goal, since juggling was yet another thing that my father was able to do, and I couldn’t Read more [...]
