Something insane started happening the same time I took it seriously to try to quit. I am a rational person but I can't explain why this started happening and I've had thoughts if it had something to do with me quitting my habit. I'm talking about attraction, I won't go into any more detail but it was mad. It started one day all of a sudden, and it's been like that ever since. I haven't mentioned this ever before on this website.(Besides one post I made back in autumn trying to rationalize this). Again I'm a very rational and logical person, but I can't explain how it all started right at the same time that I made my first attempts to quit.
And you know what's funny? Last summer when I took it seriously to try to quit, I was looking at this one girl's pics on Instagram. She went to my school and I thought she was the hottest girl in there. I was feeling so lonely back then thinking about her. Little did I know that the following semester, I wouldn't be the one looking at her, it would be the other way around. There's SO much more than this, but this particular event struck me.
Now talking about some specific changes to me. During last summer I didn't manage to quit, it was only at early autumn when I managed to completely do it. I had crazy energy at the beginning. I would wake up so energetic in the morning. I didn't even want to lay in bed at all, I had so much energy. And I had never in my life been like that. My skin also became very clear. It looked like I was glowing. Even in pictures that I had taken back then, it looks like I'm glowing. I became irrationally happy during autumn as well. I would feel happy just randomly while doing nothing.
Now I can't prove those were all because of abstaining, it was most likely a combination of things happening in my life, but I believe it was the most impactful factor. Changes that I know happened because of abstaining are that I didn't have the porn-induced objectification of females in my head anymore and that I would actually be interested and aroused by them.
I hope someone found this interesting, and motivational. Take it from a guy whose best friends are logic and rationality: you can change in an unfathomable way.
