Beware of Euphoric Recall

Day 28

I’m a vet at this by now, I’ve been an avid porn watcher since I was about 12 years old. I’m 24 now and have had multiple stints of no porn/masturbation since I decided to quit at 18. Somehow it kept creeping it’s way back into my life and I never could figure out why. That’s until I did some neurology research on how porn affects the brain. Dr. Trish Leigh a YouTube numerologist brought to my attention that porn watchers do this thing called euphoric recall. It usually occurs once you’ve been off porn for an extended period of time. Euphoric recall is when you think of old porn scenes/real life sex experiences to basically cheat the system and give yourself dopamine without watching. THIS IS A STREAK KILLER FELLAS. So beware of when you do this and try to cut it out as much as you can. If you can fortify your mind at the source of the trigger, you can really reverse some damage and thats when you really start to heal. I’ve made it past 60 days before in my life and I want that feeling back and this time I’m not going back. Stay strong brothers.

We have to take every thought captive. And if it’s from the enemy cast it down.

Wow thank you for sharing, I didn’t even realize I was doing this. I will try to work on this!

Noticed this happening to me. After prolonged periods of time without using, porn scenes I hadn’t scene in years were appearing in my dreams. And this ultimately is what ended up killing my streak. Need to clear your mind as soon as this happens
