    For a long time I used to edge and watch porn until the point where I watched it every day. I tried couple times and never go more then 54 days. I never connect depression or anxiety to porn addiction. I used to also use antidepresive for a 2 years cause I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression disorder. After researching a lot on Google and try to find solutions from these terrible conditions I founded this site. After I watched Gabe Deam on you tube I realise it can be from porn and excessive masturbation!? Or not?!Also watch the Gary Wilson the great porn experiment. Also I am on this forum for about year and read so many posts and still read new posts every day, I realize porn addiction is big problem. I'm on day 9 and feel very bad, unmotivated, depressed, tired, mood swings, irritability and anger. Is this all normal withdrawals cause my brain used to get dopamine fix from porn and edging, masturbation or is it all by as I told depression and anxiety disorder?! Many doctors wouldn't belive in NoFap cause it's something that is new and they will tell its impossible to get addicted to this, but this great forum keep growing and growing every day...Need ur support guys is this normal and I understand after couple months I can see some changes and benefits.

    same here man... day 12 here feeling like the days go slower and im in constant focus on not relapsing. but it feels good when a day passes and i feel closer to my goal of quitting porn and masturbation. plus side is i get better sleep and i dream a lot more. altho all the dream are about masturbation its a relief that i can "masturbate" in my mind without any consequence. good luck mate, hang in there :)

    Withdrawals are a bitch, indeed. I am trying to cut off alcohol and junk food out of my life as well and at certain points, it hurts like hell. But suffering is a part of the recovery process. And the night gets darker, right before the dawn.

    Keep pushing and keep fighting. This is where you prove to yourself how strong you are.

  6. Exactly, if I bring myself to compare the now me and the 10 years before me, I would be thinking "wtf did I just do to myself?" Seriously, no kidding. Porn changes you, and it changes you bad.
