Do you have any advice on how to cure a pornography addiction (Involuntary question mark)-->?
First off, if you're going to say something on the lines of, " Why stop? It's great" , just don't bother answering this. I'm not going to lie, I love porn, but the fact of the matter is, I need to stop.Now that we have that out of the way, I will now outline my problem in a way, that might be understood, by things that are alive.I said earlier that I love porn, but my problem lies in the fact that I like it too much. for the past half of a year, I frequently find myself staying up very late watching porn. I't not uncommon for me to stay up until four in the morning watching porn nonstop on the internet which is the only place I go to do this. Now, I suppose it's not uncommon for a young man of eighteen years to do this just now and again, but this has been going on virtually every night for months and it doesn't help that I have a very delicate and unnatural sleep cycle to begin with But that is a different question, for a different time. Any help and advice you can give me is much appreciated.From, Richard D.P.S. Doesn't the involuntary question mark that Yahoo places on the end of questions look tacky sometimes?

Nasal spray addiction?
I've been using nasal spray this past week because my nose has been extremely stuffy and it helps unclog it at night so that I can fall asleep.

Why have I suddenly started losing weight and feel better since I quit my 5 can a day Diet Coke addiction?
I used to drink upwards of 5 Diet Cokes a day. I was left with constant headaches, serious dental problems, dry eye, depression, and inability to lose ANY weight despite working out in the gym 3 days a week. I haven't touched Dirt Coke in a month since then, my weight has dropped, I have more energy, my eye issues have faded, and my depression and headaches vanished.Someone told me my bad symptoms were a result of the toxin aspartame in Diet Coke Is that possible?If you were a former Diet Coke addict, what changes have you experienced since you quit drinking that toxic brew?I have a friend who is severely overweight, and has severe depression The ONLY liquid she drinks is Diet Coke. Diet Cokes leaves her dehydrated, so she drinks more Diet Coke and like a chain smoker, she goes through one after the other sometimes drinking a 12 pack each day. I told her if she quit Diet Coke, she'd have a better chance tackling her weight and depression. She didn't believe me. The aspartame in all the Diet Coke must be the cause of her health issues.

In what ways has addiction been proven medically, to be a disease?
With all this talk recently about 'sexual addiction' I was wondering in what ways addiction constitutes being a disease? I know that drug addiction is a serious chemical dependency and the withdrawal from long term use is pretty awful. I can wrap my head around that much, although I think the term " disease" may strip the user of responsibility in the end, which I don't agree with.But in what ways do things like sex addiction, gambling addiction, the sort of compulsions that are not triggered by chemical usage constitute the classification of " disease" . I am confused by this aspect of addiction. I read that " sexual addiction" has not been recognized by the American psychological community, or any other global medical groups for that matter.So one has to wonder, is America just addicted to addictions?With all this talk recently about 'sexual addiction' I was wondering in what ways addiction constitutes being a disease?
