How long do you have to free from porn before you are totally over it?

could take up to 6 months but may differ for others.

 

I don't know... 90-100 wasn't enough for me and i ended up watching porn again... Not on a daily basis, but i did fall back into it.
Not sure if you can get totally over it. Even though you do forget about porn to an extent when you reboot, you have to stay alert as your brain still remembers it as "something you enjoy", and if you're feeling low your brain can trick you to relapse no matter how many days free.

 

I have gone two weeks and so far the urge to watch porn hasn't been so bad, until this morning I got the urge to watch but I quickly got my mind off it. I'm pretty sure for its gonna take a while longer for it to completely go away but I'm just gonna take it one day at time. Just stick with it zxcv!

 

I'm only on day four myself. So far so good BUT it is so early. One day at the time. Hang in there.

 

Fix your mind, your perception of why it's bad, instead of starving yourself, like a cold turkey. You can't play with numbers, you need to actively change how you think, and what you want to achieve through beating the problem.

What do you want? How bad do you want it? If you think it's a challenge, then you'll keep making excuses for yourself. You need to rise above it and squash it like a bug, as it's an easy task to avoid.

 

You just feel it. It's when you don't even think about it, and need it.

It depends from person to person, from case to case.

Personally when I started I was convinced that Porn gave me PIED and I hated Porn for that, I hated it woith all my heart. So it was easy to get over Porn.
Now I don't even think about it, I don't need it, I don't miss it.

I am still dealing with my ED, what I need/want/miss/think is Sex, not porn.

Keep up the good work, this program works.

 

That's not a healthy way of thinking.

 

I'm over 450 days PMO free, and about 10 months p-sub free (I think, haven't actually tracked, just looking back). I don't remember it as something I enjoy, at all. Not even (to the extent I can be aware) subconsciously/compulsively. Occasionally I have an urge, but it's an urge to O. When I think of porn, it's hard to describe how I feel about it. Intellectually, and morally, I'm disgusted by the reality of the porn industry, but the thought of porn itself doesn't disgust me, viscerally. For lack of a better word, it just seems dumb. Just "why would I want that?"

 

That's why i put it between quotation marks. I don't enjoy porn anymore but due to the dopamine spike when i watch it my brain believes i do. The brain knows it's an easy way to boost dopamine and when you're feeling down it may want to trick you into using it, even if you're disgusted by it.

 

You have described this addiction as I want to see it. Thank you for writing such a logical and well balanced statement. Very concise and clear.

 

Thanks man
