    Hi guys
    Day 9... Just hit some withdrawals. Super fidgety, rubbing my legs and neck, and spending a lot of time here on this forum. Not complaining! I'm managing to avoid my triggers, mostly, including not heading off to fantasyland. That's awesome. I'm not concerned about relapse. But I can't concenrate or sit still.
    Are there some useful statistics on withdrawals (or anecdotes) out there? How long will this last?
    The intensity comes and goes.

    You're experiencing anxiety cause you're not able to masturbate/with or without porn. There are no simple answers, no magic pill, etc. I mean there's therapy and maybe seeing a psychiatrist who can prescribe medications to help you to curb the anxiety/depression. But overall, prepare yourself for the urges/anxiety/depression. Develop personal tools to use when those urges and anxieties hit you. They can be as simple as getting out of the room to calling a friend. They are mundane but oh so effective. I recall last month in a Fucking day long binge when my sister stopped at my place with her children to drop off some food. I started playing with my nieces and I thought to myself, Fuck, 20 minutes ago I was in my room on a porn binge that was interrupted and now here I am feeling just fine and normal hanging with my family. It's amazing what just removing myself from the immediate environment of porn and porn binging can do or be.......

    Just know you're not alone on this one Mackswell. I'm experiencing the lack of focus plus just a super down feeling of anxiety and sadness on DAY EIGHTY! So just know that we are going through this together and all these withdrawals are for the best and they WILL NOT last forever.

    good luck, stick with it and message me if you have any concerns.
