When will these horrible urges and flashbacks end?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Apr 10, 2017.

  1. On Day 8 hard mode. I made it to Day 113 easy mode but relapsed. I'm doing well so far, but in the last couple days or so it has been horrible. Extreme urges constantly, I just want to stop whatever I'm doing and PMO, and look up horrible, disgusting stuff. I'm getting flashbacks of my 'favourite' images from my last relapse in my head all the time. It's like my brain has started to ramp up efforts now that it's starting to be starved of excess dopamine.

    I find that listening to music, cold showers, and writing a log of my day helps.
    But my question is: when will these urges end? When will these images leave my head? My brain's trying to make me romanticize porn, and it's horrible. I want to stop objectifying women, I want to be able to make strong, close connections with people again. But the struggle is hard.

    i have read about it,you have to stop pmo that you have done already, our mind need some days for rebooting it may vary from person to person,you have to reach that much minimum no pmo days in order to stop the flash backs and keep yourself calm,whenever you realise strong urges are coming never be alone go to your family or friend,and spen some time with them,enjoy your life and one day you will forget about it:):);)

  3. Once your brain realizes that it's no longer going to get that stuff anymore I think the urges will be less. I'm on day 24 hard mode, I still get urges every day, but they are much more manageable. It's gotten to the point now though that looking back I think "why did I PMO, it's kind of weird and childish."

    Hang in there, you're in the thick of it right now, it will get better, promise.
