    I am going to make my story as short as I can, I will have my question in Bold at the end if you don't want to read all of it. I am 37 years old Male.
    I started internet porn when the 56k dialup modem was the only option in 1996, able to load 30 women in jeans pics in about 1 hour. I started collecting porn pics and vids from floppies to cd's to portable hardrives. I never watched the porn I collected just getting a high from doing it(Fap sessions). After discovering Yahoo Flickr groups(the devil of porn pics) it got worse where my sessions of looking at 8 tabs open and around 3000+ photos in 7 hours. It had taken over my life and I just went from porn to work home porn cycle. I had over 8 million pics and 300k videos. I was in a relationship but never married.
    Until 1st of March 2018 when I met my beautiful wife got married deleted all porn and haven't gone back to any porn site. I met the perfect woman I actually got grossed out by porn and even now I never want to see it.
    I never knew porn had an effect on my brain and when I quit cold turkey I had no idea what the hell was going on. It started off with insomnia and anxiety went to the doctors and they prescribed Valium 10mg, that helped until I built tolerance and stopped taking them. Then I tried alcohol to calm me down around June-Oct 2018 that didn't really work so I stopped as well, excersising and meditating everyday 1hr, I quit smoking 2months now, etc etc. My brain was fried until I came across Nofap on youtube and now reading the forums here. So I agreed with my wife to start 30days Hardmode, its now 6 days and I feel like my brain is repairing, I have energy, I don't have anxiety anymore, I sleep better. I know about Grey matter in the brain and neuroplasticity and effects on the brain from porn so I have a couple questions.
    Are my dopamine receptors, Gaba receptors going to repair themselves eventually?
    Is the Grey matter brain effects going to be reversible?
    I cant be on hard mode for very long since we are trying for a baby, is 30days enough and then I go on smaller 7 day ones after?

    I didn't do hard mode, just a no porn and no masturbation normal mode. I'll always be vigilant, I know porn could easily take a hold of my life again, but I do feel free from it's lure at the moment. That took me a long time, looking back through my journal it is not until about day 600 that I report having zero urge to use pornography. I'm older than you though, I'm 53, that may be a factor. Anyway, good luck.

    THIS IS WHAT I REALLY THINK , EXCESSIVE MASTURBATION , IS THE MAIN ISSUE , YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU MASTURBE TOO MUCH THE BLOOD VASSAL ON YOUR PENIS BECAME VERY STRESS AND TEND TO REDUCE
    AND ALSO YOU ARE LOSSING TO MUCH OF VITAMINS AND VITAL ELEMENT FOR A GOOD ERECTION

    MY SUBJECTION IS TO TRY NITRIC OXIDE FOOD SUPPLEMENT ( OUR BODY NATURALLY PRODUCE , BUT WHEN YOU MASTURBATE TOO MUCH YOU ARE LOOSING SOO MUCH THAT YOU BODY CAN PRODUCE

    I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU , AM FACING THE SAME PROBLEM ( ED AND PREMATURE EJAC) ARE SIGN OF FATIGUE FROM YOUR CEREBRAL SYSTEM AND DICK (BLOOD VASSAL) NOFAP IS GREAT JUST ADD NITRIC OXIDE + NOFAP
