You could feel anxious, flat mood, low energy and cravings.

can feel primal.

They're literally a function of multiple systems in your brain and body, like screaming out all at once that something's missing for your survival.

That's why guys return to the behavior or quote unquote relapse.

This is not about willpower.

This is not about moral failure.

This is biology and neuroscience.

Your brain has been conditioned with all the porn that you've watched and your nervous system has yet to find another way to regulate itself.

So recovery is not just about stopping a behavior.

It's retraining your nervous system.

It's learning how to deal with urges and cravings so they weaken over time.

Second challenge is that, you've heard it in my story, right?

Men use porn as a way to numb, avoid, or suppress emotional pain, anger, pressure, anxiety, depression, trauma that none of us want to feel.

And so when you stop watching porn, these feelings come back with a vengeance.

So unless you begin to identify and heal those root causes, you are going to routinely return to the one thing you know provides you temporary relief, and that's porn.

A hundred percent.

A hundred.

There's casual porn use.

Not at all.

Okay, got it.
