    Did 40+ days toward the end of last year, then off and on relapsing while working 12 steps of AA. Just did steps 4/5 (personal inventory) and have sudden urgency to take on porn more seriously (Higher Power, can't drink anymore). I have a good alcohol recovery network in person, but Porn is still taboo I think, so I'm turning to these forums as a way to add to my personal Recovery Plan. Been working out, eating healthy, abstaining from all drugs and alcohol (except tobacco), which means I'm gaining testosterone, which is causing new challenges for abstaining from PMO (increased libido, crazy masculine intensity, females noticing me). Plus, intimacy with partner has been causing me to relapse (sudden dopamine spike after spartan mindframe). God has been helping me and I know all the more if I could get more dedicated. Day 1!

    congrats on your alcoholic recovery. I think that since you are doing nofap, try to identify what are the other activities that you might like that are also dopamine addictive, such as endless ticktok/ Instagram scrolling, phone games, PC and video games, etc... and try to avoid those as well. Good luck on your journey!
