sleeplessness

Love is... back? 1st Post. 51 days in

Greetings. I discovered this site a few months ago. After going over it for a few days I decided to stop masturbating, along with a friend of mine. I started halfway through 13 years old (late from the looks of things). I didnt start doing it everyday until 16 or so, and even then theres been years where I dont feel compelled to masturbate more then every 2 or 3 days. Not the case the last 3 or 4 years, but VERY rarely do I do it more then once a day. I'm not sure why, but maybe its because I have had and do have a handful of other addictions that keep me satieted. Im now 25.

Day 2-7

Oké, 6 days have passed since I last posted. No masturbation so far, although yesterday I looked at some porn, I think for about 2 minutes before shutting down my PC and going to bed. So today is day 7.

- Day 2 and day 3 where like day 1; no real urges and the few urges were easily ignored.
- On day 4 I had a lot to do and just didn't have the time to look at porn. I slept really bad that night though. Not sure if this was caused by my allergies (spring has finally started this weekend) or if it was due to withdrawal.

Dopamine?

I am nearing the end of week three. This is day 19. I felt calmer when I was out doing things over the weekend. On Sunday, I had my best workout in a year and a half. I think I have lost some weight this month, which is hard to do in the winter.

However, I felt very edgy on Sunday night, and had a terrible time going to sleep. This is not unusual for me, and part of it has to be do to work. Until recently, I used MB to cut the anxiety and sleep, which helped me fall asleep, but also caused me to sleep poorly.

Porn addiction question

First i'll say that i am addicted to porn and it has messed up parts of my life. First off it has affected my relationships, social life, and health, but although i know this, part of me doesn't want to give it up all together. I've been addicted for awhile but the last year has been the worst. I stoped watching porn and stop masterbating for 5 nights, and i've noticed several changes, such as the eye bags under my eyes have been reduced so much i can't believe it, i had bad insomnia, but i've been able to sleep the last two nights.
