No PMO War XXXI

I looked up reviews for that book - it seems the author has plagiarized a lot of work from "The Easy Peasy Method". . I've not read either of these books, so I can't confirm if that's true - but if you have read my system or "the Easy Peasy method" (which are both free) and are not following them to escape from porn, then I don't think you'll get more value from another book. . What you need is not more advice, but more discipline. Read the fable of "The Fox and the Cat". If a method works, then just follow it. If you don't follow it, then no method will work.

I liked the ideas from the easy peasy method, but The single most effective thing for me was change habits.

It's like rat park: "the healthy ones don't need the drug, the lonely and unhealthy rats will get addicted and overdose. Here is a chatgpt explanation: The experiment you’re referring to is likely based on Bruce Alexander's **"Rat Park"** study, a significant and influential experiment conducted in the late 1970s. It explored the impact of environmental factors, such as social connection and living conditions, on drug addiction—particularly the use of morphine or cocaine. Here’s a comparison of healthy rats (those in enriched environments), cocaine-addicted rats, and rats in isolation or "lonely rats": ### **1. Traditional Experiment Setup (Cocaine Experiment)** Prior to Alexander’s Rat Park experiment, many addiction studies were conducted using the following setup: - **Isolated rats in cages:** Rats were kept alone in small, metal cages with no other rats and no enrichment like toys or exercise wheels. - **Drug-laced water:** Rats were given two options: regular water or water laced with cocaine (or morphine in some experiments). - **Results:** These lonely, isolated rats often chose to drink the drug-laced water, frequently consuming it until they overdosed or severely harmed themselves. This setup contributed to the widely accepted belief that drugs like cocaine are so addictive that if someone is exposed, addiction is almost inevitable. ### **2. Bruce Alexander’s Rat Park Experiment** Alexander challenged this view by creating **"Rat Park,"** an experiment that emphasized environmental and social factors: - **Healthy Rats (Rat Park Setup):** Instead of isolating the rats, Alexander built a large, enriching environment with plenty of food, space to roam, toys, and multiple other rats to socialize with. This was called "Rat Park." - **Two water sources:** As in earlier experiments, the rats had access to two bottles—one with regular water and one laced with a drug like morphine (or sometimes cocaine). #### **Key Findings from Rat Park:** - **Healthy rats in enriched environments (Rat Park)** consumed significantly less of the drug-laced water than rats in isolation. - Many of the rats in Rat Park largely avoided the drug-laced water, choosing the regular water instead. - Even rats that had previously been exposed to morphine and were already consuming it in isolation tended to **reduce or stop using the drug** once moved to Rat Park’s healthier, social environment. ### **3. Comparison of Results (Lonely vs. Healthy Rats):** - **Lonely, isolated rats:** - Lived in impoverished environments with no social connection or stimulation. - Were much more likely to drink the drug-laced water, often becoming addicted. - The experiment suggested that isolation, lack of stimulation, and poor living conditions were key factors driving addiction. - **Healthy rats in enriched environments (Rat Park):** - Lived in stimulating environments with toys, space, and social interaction. - Showed minimal interest in the drug-laced water. - Even if exposed to drugs previously, healthy rats often self-regulated or stopped their drug use once placed in Rat Park. ### **Conclusion:** The Rat Park experiment revolutionized thinking about addiction by suggesting that **environmental and social factors** play a significant role in the development and maintenance of drug addiction. It showed that when rats had the opportunity to engage in a healthy, connected, and stimulating life, they were far less likely to become addicted to drugs, even highly addictive ones like cocaine. Conversely, lonely, isolated rats were much more susceptible to drug use and addiction. This experiment highlighted the importance of **social connections** and **environmental enrichment** in both the onset and prevention of addiction, implying that human addiction might be influenced by similar factors. It suggests that addressing social isolation and improving life circumstances could be a crucial strategy in preventing and treating addiction.

@Escape_from_Porn Celibate Yogi is the Easy Peasy author

@Masurao No, not really. "No, "Celibate Yogi" is not the author of the EasyPeasy method. The "EasyPeasy" method for quitting pornography or other habits is an adaptation of Allen Carr's "Easy Way" method, which was originally developed to help people quit smoking. While "EasyPeasy" is a popular tool for those struggling with porn addiction, it does not have a single identifiable author in the same way as Allen Carr’s works. It is instead an open-source project that has been developed and shared online by various contributors. "Celibate Yogi" might be a content creator or community figure promoting similar ideas but is not credited as the author of the EasyPeasy method."

@Masurao Easy Peasy is a free tool. Celibate Yogi's course is not free. So it's highly unlikely that the same author created both for the same purpose. . . What Chris mentioned is what I've heard about the Celibate Yogi's method.

What I quoted was a response of chatgpt on this subject.

@Escape_from_Porn He says it's more like coaching/counseling for men that need more help beyond his book. https://quitporneasily.com/about-me/
