If you have chills, sweating, dehydration, headache, muscle aches and pains, a feeling of weakness and loss of appetite, the chances are that you are suffering from Viral Fever. Because these are the general symptoms of Viral Fever.
So, you would completely agree with me that to cure a disease, you first have to know that you have one. Then you have to know which disease it is. Then and only then you would be able to medicate yourself.
It is no different with Porn Addiction, which to me is no less than a Mental Disease.
Following are a list of “Symptoms of Porn Addiction” from the book “30 Road Away from Porn“.
Share it with your friends, share it with your loved ones and do share it with those who are on the Denial Mode about Porn Addiction, so that they can check if they are addicted to Porn or not.
