Cross Addiction

Mmm a couple weeks ago I did start eating a lot of junk food and drinking a lot of soda to the point where it made me feel sick! So I greatly reduced that, but I think I'm addicted to soda I haven't gotten urges to drink it and had to drink it.

 

I haven't had that problem yet, but I would guess it's because of how we've damaged the "pleasure" and "reward" circuitry in our brains. Your brain is probably looking for any way it can to fill that hole that porn left. I'm no expert though. Just a theory.

From my own experience, I found that I would look at porn when I got bored. I also do the same thing with food. So, as a suggestion (again, I'm no expert) maybe if you found some healthier things to fill your time with when you get bored (or in your case, get the munchies), it might help. Maybe exercise instead. I noticed that I used to play guitar a lot more whenever I was bored but I started filling that time up with with porn. So, maybe if you replace things like porn and overeating with something more constructive to distract yourself, it might help. I've been improving in my guitar skills more than I have in years since I started practicing again instead of edging to porn for hours.

Either way, good luck brother! Hope this helps!

 

My personal opinion is that if you used porn to relieve stress, you are now using food to relieve that stress. I eat fairly good on a regular basis and I lift weights and run a fair bit. I also play sports ect. but when I get stressed I can sit down and eat 2 boxes of mac n' cheese [2400 cals] or 4 bags of ramen noodles [1600 cals] but that's all carbs. It makes me fell GOOD. Instead of directly addressing the stress on hand that's what I have done is just overeat.

Maintaining a decent diet is the same as quitting porn. Mind over matter.

Good luck!
