Before I start my reboot in 10 days, I'd like to talk a little about some of the problems I have and the emotions I feel. This is to reach out to anyone else who may be experiencing similar problems but haven't read much about it or would like to offer/ask for advice.
I'm going to start with a bit about my battle with depersonalization and derealization, which I believe stem from my porn use.

Just found this graphic. It's great because this is what I imagine might happen during a porn session where you edge (use porn without climaxing) for a while. Note that all the other graphs are taken from rat research, where a probe was inserted into the nucleus accumbens of the reward circuitry. Please know that no one has measured dopamine levels in human brains during sex or porn viewing.

Hi Everybody,
First of all I want to thank Marnia and Gary for being such amazing teachers and leading the way. And I want to thank everyone for sharing your stories - I appreciate every one of them so much. The information here should be available in every language!
I am in Week 4, and today marks Day 25. I actually wanted to wait until I felt more "enlightened," but I could not wait any longer to start contributing to this community. Please forgive me this post became such a long essay - I tried to keep it simple but I had so much to say...

The days are just clicking by now. I've stopped keep count of where I started although I am tracking my O's to watch for a pattern. I have to say that giving up porn has not been at all hard for me. I really don't miss it at all which after reading some of the other blogs and forum posts make me scratch my head and wonder in which other ways am I different than some of the other people here.
