    Wow. I was flat-lining but a couple days ago I had major withdrawal symptoms.

    I was lying in bed when all of a sudden my head and face starting to get really hot, had restless leg syndrome, and my heart rate was increasing. Surprisingly, an erection was the 4th symptom. I wasn't even thinking about sex. After the symptoms occurred, that's when I started to think about PMO

    I couldn't sleep for 4 hours and tried to think of something else. I was going to call one of my female friends for sex. Usually this is instantly cured by PMO or sex

    I almost relapsed but I went this far already and didn't want to quit so I exchanged PMO for lousy sleep and a bad day.

    Just wondering what are your withdrawal symptoms besides an erection?

    Mine was:
    -Hot face and head
    -Rapid heartbeat
    -Restless leg syndrome
    -general uncomfortable feeling
    -Random uncontrollable thoughts of porn even if you fight it
    -unable to fall asleep
    -erection
    -Depression and anxiety

    I already know these symptoms will pop back up again at inconvenient times; I just want to know when I will be cured?

    Yeah loneliness is a big one I left off. I am forcing myself to head off to a party now even though I am tempted to stay home and isolate...Good luck!

    Hey man, sounds like you might have been a little dehydrated with the hot face and head and rapid heartbeat. Maybe the stress from being dehydrated caused your brain to want porn, because you're used to relieving your stress through PMO. Maybe try drinking water before going to bed? and do other things to relieve stress before bed like take a cool shower and read a little.

    In any case, it's a good sign that something is happening. It means your brain is starting to rewire.
