Also "I guess I just do not 'get' celibacy as it may relate to addiction"
This is another irrational beast ultimate AV expression.
Celibacy is the same as permanent abstinence from any other addiction, it implies a vow, or if you will a BIG PLAN to not have sex ever again. Because doing it would bring problems or would interfere to the celibate beliefs or life, that's why someone decides to celibate in the first place. It doesn't choose celibate simply because the sun is shining or it's raining. It simply is against is better judgement, it could not be your, but that is your concern, like there are many who still want to fully be loaded with drinks and drugs, and can't never see how quitting drug and alcohol addiction could not relate to AVRT.
I can't prevent you from masturbaing or seeing porn, if you want it, only you can decide that, but if you are confused about others deciding otherwise, than be assured that you are being victim of a very large beast inside you.
