Withdrawal Anxiety

Day 3

This is the first time I have really committed to trying to quit porn, and every time I reach a few days clean, I start to feel incredibly anxious. This feeling is not attached to anything in particular and I am starting to realise that I experience withdrawal symptoms just like any other drug addict would. It’s a good reminder porn can be as dangerous as illicit drugs and that there’s a reason it’s happening. Does anyone have any advice about how to overcome this?

maybe that’s the real feeling that u used porn to cover up, so by dealing w thsy feeling in a healthier manner, it will reduce the cravings for porn

I kinda had a similar thing where I would be constantly thinking about what/how I would relive myself with out porn. I just tried to fill my day with better and more productive activities, maybe that could help?
