    Sometimes when I'm doing just ordinary things around the house, I get this thought that, "Hey, porn addiction is super real and I'm glad I'm doing this challenge." and sometimes the "dark" side of my brain tells me that it wouldn't be so bad to just end the challenge. Does anyone else get that? How do you cope with those feelings in the long term?

    It's the simple, well known voice every addict hears. HEY! ITS NOT THAT BAD. WON'T HURT YOU. KEEP GOING!
    It's your reptilian brain portion that wants to indulge. The brain craves for more dopamine!
    It doesn't matter what the addcition is: smoking, drinking, drugs, porn, gambling....we get our "rubber arms" twisted by that voice and we fall for it again.

    the best defense is awareness. You know the voice will come to haunt you...so hit the panic button or post on the forum more!
