    First 5 days I was counting the hours and the urges were still there. 7 days in I felt real good, no urges, no wet dreams and the constant anxiety and stress that I felt completely faded. 13 days in I had no urges, things that used to trigger me couldn't and absolutely no wet dreams. I hit the 14th day and everything about the urges and trigger reactions was the same as the previous day, but on the same day I was hit by a surge of intrusive thoughts that constantly raid my mind every moment of the day and have kept me up every night so far. The anxiety and stress came back with depression and a particular sensitivity to a lot of things (not urges). I have 0 urges, 0 motivation and 0 reasons to relapse. I'm 17 days in and confident that I'm not going to fall, bu It was curious whether these are natural symptoms, what is the typical order of the symptoms and when do they pass?

    Everyone experiences this differently, it all has to do with how long you were addicted, how badly you were addicted, and the emotions you were trying to cover up with your porn addiction as well as your genetics. Best advice I can give you is to hang in there, because relapsing will only make your symptoms much, much worse. Personally, I get horrible anxiety for about a week after I relapse.
