    I decided to quit porn due to extreme porn escalation and I am on day 16 now. My problem is really disturbing flashbacks that seem to be getting stronger as the days pass. These flashbacks give me a quick burst of dopamine surge and brain fog which is really annoying. I'm having a good moment just being productive and next thing I know I suddenly get hit by a really disturbing scene. I was feeling good at like day 7-13 as well because the flashbacks were fading away and sexual intrusive thoughts significantly decreased. But then suddenly the past 14+ days they hit me like a truck and it's really demotivating sometimes.

    Will these flashbacks hinder my recovery? And what are good methods to deal with this? Motivations are also very much appreciated :)

    It means you are recovering. Porn is like cocaine, your having withdrawals. The more days, months and years you stop PMing. The weaker your withdrawals become over time. The next 6 to 11 month will hit you hard. You have keep a journal of when you get these dopamine hits. Over time with no PM, you will reset
