Thanks. I really want to avoid the 12 step programs. Like you said, the "higher power" thing turns me off. That and, I see it as replacing one addiction with another. I dont want to spend my time with a bunch of junkies talking about drugs all the time. Its like a church, a religion to those people. Im not into that, I want to do this on my own, I want to drop it and put it away, not dwell on it for the rest of my life. Ive done damage to my brain, my pleasure/reward circuit is messed up, I just need to find a way to put things back in balance. I think meditation and the Tao can help me with that. I just dont know how to get started, I dont want to waste any more time.

Thank you. How did you start Qi gong? Can you point me in the right direction? Also, I almost never "whack off", but why would it be important to stop? thanks, j..

So what should I be looking for? I know nothing about Qigong, I've only found it through my recent interest (obsession) in the Tao Te Ching. j..

http://longwhitecloudqigong.com/online-courses/ This is the website, they have a bunch of videos that you can watch as well as reading material. thanks, j..

Also, I saw the recent thread on Sex addiction. Thats not what Im talking about. I mean chemical dependency, physical withdrawal etc. I can only imagine the damage Ive done to my body. I rarely eat, I have no sex drive, none, I have no desire to be around people anymore, I'm actually afraid to be in social situations. I was never like this before. There must be a way to reverse this?

Another question, is anyone familiar with Long White Cloud Qigong? Its an online course (free) and it appears pretty comprehensive. But I have no way of knowing for sure. I found it on youtube. thanks, j..

Thank you Chang, ChiDragon, Marblehead. I'm new to this, and I'm sure to have many questions in the future.
