Emptiness...

You are doing well. Try not to panic or become over anxious. The combination of the flatline and withdrawal symptoms vary from one person to another. The length of time they last is also an individual thing. Not everybody experiences the flatline, although most do. It is commendable that you have been so strict with yourself and that will lead to the best possible result in the shortest time. The feeling of emptiness sucks. Keep talking about your experience. It always helps.

 

What IGY says. Also, get out of the house. Where you are at now, this may totally suck, but try and be around people. If you have a mall, or an event, where there are a lot of people, go there. Find a reason, find an excuse, to be around other people. Porn addiction is, among other things, the ultimate social disengagement. Part of taking the cure is reengaging with reality. Once you quit porn, it helps to fill that void with something else. Plan on it.

 

U R Welcome. Remember, it is still early for you. 32 days are an excellent run, but most need to get to 90, hard mode, before they quit thinking "This cannot be done, I cannot do this, I am dying," and start thinking "I can do this, I will do this." For me the thought "I can do this, I will do this", came at about day 120. I remember the first time I posted in this forum that "I am quit, I will never do porn again, I will NEVER go back, I will NEVER relapse." It was a declaration that frightened me to make, because on some level, part of me always wanted to at least have the option of going back. Stating out loud, so to speak, that I never was, was giving up the option. It will help you to embrace the concept that you are never going back.

Keep going. Porn is not an option.
