I can feel my emotions

I'm writing to see if someone has had a similar experience:

On day 8 of nofap and no nicotine (addicted to both, used them to numb my feelings). I'm experiencing a lot of things so much deeper, now that I'm not distracting myself continuously. I can think a bit clearer and I'm more aware of how I feel. At least I think I am. Can someone explain their experience of this?

Also, I've become prone to spontaneous crying (just for 10-20 seconds at a time) when I see something beautiful. WTF. And it feels so good! As if something inside finally is expressed in its fullest.

 

Thanks guys. It's also what I think and hope.

 

Yeah. I think we pretty much agree that quitting porn is worth it, and it feels good to hear it from someone else. Thanks for the replies! On day 10 now. I dared to tell my mother and two of my friends that I was feeling lonely. Before I would just eat, fap and take a snus (tobacco) in bed, not giving a fuck about ambition or acting on my "true gut feeling". I have had more - and better - conversations lately.

Now I get restless if I'm inactive. I get lonely if I don't talk to people for a while. I feel useless if I don't do anything with purpose a whole day. It's as if I don't have an excuse not to make myself happy anymore.

How are your experiences in relation to mine so far? I would love to hear them, Drew, Meanbean, PeaceWarrior and Wrestler
