I really need help

You are doing really well, my brother. Yes, many find out only after they try to quit. Then they suddenly notice. It was the same for me.

Keep it up

Thank you. I appreciate that very much.

CDP-choline Inositol A good omega 3 (unlike the other two, this one is not backed up by research, that I know of, but would probably be beneficial due to other brain-healthy effects, so it is plausible)

Sports, fruit and vegetables are the best tools

@@ScandinavianBob thank you Bob

I honestly don't know.

Well you just told me you didn't watch it. So, no, not a problem.

I'm really angry, the first 20 days are easy

Your favorite question, huh? I have already answered, you asking me that exact question, not just once, but several times. It seems to me like you are going to keep asking it until you hear just one word from me; "yes". But I'm not going to say yes, cause I don't know if you will or not. Why ask someone else anyway? Why not try it out and see for yourself? Don't put potential results in the hands of other peoples answers. Watch this NoFap attraction series: It has 18 minutes of high quality answers for you. More than I could give you here (which is perhaps why you keep asking), here is the attraction series: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJpofbir29C5fWQ.html

In terms of desensitization it could potentially be possible to reverse some of it even with some use here and there, (if you otherwise live super healthy) but there are more brain changes than that going on in addictions. The malfunctioning stress system and sensitization (the supermemory of pleasure that produces powerful cravings) would never get weaker and most addicts would not be able to keep it at their desired amount without escalating again. Hence the "loss off control" mentioned in today's video. Not saying you can't do it, but I am saying most addicts can not. Myself included. Also if one has some porn induced sexual problems (pied, DE, or other) they would most likely never go away with that approach.

@@ScandinavianBobThanks for sharing you knowledge, really apreciate it! Frankly, it happened to me in 2017. My mental health since 2008 was progresively getting worse - more anxiety, panic attack, OCD skyrocked - especialy since 2010 when my social live died and watching become my main hobby. By 2017 I were in loop I were unable to escape. Then got sick on May, just one week, but one week without porn, make of momentum and my use drop from +100 hours monthly to less than 10-20 for sure. And I start to feeling better, but little by little I start to watching more, session were longer and more frequent, and although I never came back to 5 hours per day, by Autumn pretty much what i have gained in May and June, all optimism for future, was much gone and i was unable to do anything about. But despite all that, still cant get out that idea that perhaps it would be possible to stick to controled addiction without escalation. It make me crave to try that and frankly Im terrified i never get rid of that crave of trying to accomodate addiction with detox. So, in the scenario that would be possible to stick to x hours per month (lets say im the exception of the rule) what number of hours per month do you estimate to start becoming harmful for example to stress system?

It's not about "detoxing", since it's not a poison inside your system that has to come out. It's about physical brain changes that would be beneficial for us if we could reverse. Which we can if we stop using it. The malfunctioning stress system won't reverse with 8 hours of use per month I'm pretty sure (not once an addiction already is formed (we're not talking about non-adicts here) In fact, some experts argue that intermittent use can be particularly problematic for things like that. By using intermittently, you're in essence teaching the brain that it doesn't have to let go of the addiction, since it will always get its way eventually. So it might just make it cry harder for it. Look, I'm not trying to convince you of anything here, it's your life and your rules, but know that wishful thinking almost never works when it comes to addictions.

@@ScandinavianBob I see. Thanks Bob, really apreciate time you took to answer my doubts. And taking advantage of ocassion, great job with your blog, a lot of useful info, Im intermittent reader since a couple of years, at least.
