    I have always had a very limited memory of my childhood. When my wife and I compare notes or get into a discussion about it, she is always shocked by how little I remember. I also seem to have a bad memory in general.
    I don't believe I suffered any serious physical or sexual abuse as a child, but I did have serious connection issues with parents and peers. Emotional trauma, pain, shame, anger, etc.

    I'm wondering if there could be a connection between the PMO and memory loss. Has anybody here experienced anything similar? Has anyone experienced a return of childhood memories after a period of sobriety?

    It definitely affects my memory. No doubt. I don't have any science to back it up, but given that we know PMO affects dopamine and brain chemistry in general, it's not hard to make the connection.

    I believe PMO does affect memory to a significant degree. Memory loss is part of brain fog that so many of us experience. My brain fog was so severe that I always felt dreamy all the time.
     
  4. Memory loss is without doubt a symptom of PMO abuse and s whole host of other cognitive symptoms.
