    It's really amazing - even the slightest amount of porn or porn subs works similar like poison, or like being drunk.

    It clutters the brain, it's like stumbling around in thick fog.

    Whenever I come back to being sober, the brain fog clears, it is like bright sunshine again, everything is working right, live is great.

    I read somewhere once, even just one image from porn can be imprinted in our brain and hard to erase. Breaking that cycle of habitually viewing these images it powerful. I'm having the same experiences of the lifted mental fog, and renewed clarity :)

    I agree 100%! Once I had that mindset about it it's been relatively smooth sailing since. Right before my current streak I had about a one hour binging session of just viewing softcore pictures, and for about 3 days afterwards I felt so horrible, complete brain fog and horrible anxiety. Prior to that I felt fairly clear minded and had no major anxiety issues for that week. It honestly is like slowly poisoning yourself, and after that happened to me, I'll never go back to it!

    Yeah anxiety, totally!
    I experienced it massively some months ago. After a relapse, I was super-straight on myself, and suddenly I had massive anxiety attacks - heavy breathing, increased heart beat, tight belly like a punch in the stomatch - I couldn't believe what was going on!

    However, that showed me the amount of negative and unsolved emotions I had in me, and I always had buried them with PMO.

    It is important to let these emotions up, and to learn to solve them. You must directly go into the underlying conflict and solve it. Don't always escape and shy away - no, take a decision and go straight down to the problem.
    It costs a lot of nerves, but it pays off so much. Afterwards, you progress.
