You can find the reports on YourBrainOnPorn, NofapForum, ReboutNation Forum, and PMO communities on Reddit. Outside of individual stories on PMO forums, do you know of any research studies that have shown a connection? I’m curious, because abstinence has been practiced for thousands of years. Is th...

How would you classify my ongoing addiction dreams where I dream about past addiction behaviour that is most of the time accompanied by restless sleep and very pronounced symptoms afterwards. I’m seriously asking what I can do to make them go away. I don’t care if it’s PAWS or whatever. What can I ...

How does the average user benefit from understanding brain chemistry in managing their day to day feelings? What benefit does it provide in coping with their anxiety? You come on here and spout your knowledge but offer little in terms of practical advice other than give it time, maybe 1,2,3 years w...

Moderation that denies any discussion about topics or themes people in the community deemed “offensive” or uncomfortable, for example being skeptical about PAWS. Real helpful. Again, what help did you offer Graham? He has expressed anxiety so crippling, that he was unable to read the title of a lin...

Just want to share this success story. https://www.uncommonforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=109895&p=928819#p928819 240 months of smoking weed. And at 28 months, no PAWS. Apparently no real issues after 13 months. Maybe you can learn from Brokethehabit. How did he achieve such success? I wonder if it ...

Hey mate, I‘m also at about 27/28 months but I do feel a lot more symptoms which isn’t unexpected as my addiction started at 17/18 and lasted until I was 24 and there were also a lot of chemical drugs used beside the weed. I also noticed a positive upward trend and I feel 10 times better then at the...

Would you say your DP/DR was mostly diet related? I did keto for a few months and it did nothing for me.

For me DP/DR seems like part of the process where the fight flight and freeze reaction calms down which originally got derailed by addiction.

I once took ADs in form of cipralex and they only made things worse. If you want to have sustainable and balanced neurochemistry then you have to go the hard way. Sure you might feel better while taking ADs. But whats the outlook, taking pills for the rest of your life. I barely know anyone that tak...

I'm here at 2 3/4 years and I've still had a lot of bad days along with some good ones. Since my symptoms regressed 4 or so months ago I have slowly been getting better, but not back to 100% yet. Still poor sleep and swollen lymph nodes and low libido. @Magicisreal I did get blood work done and my ...

I know this sounds alien to most of the people but do you regularly watch porn and masturbate? Many people that recover from addiction forget about this and for me it was part of the problem. At some point the addictive mind doesn't care where the feel-well-hormones are coming from and chances are p...

I was addicted to a lot of things like amphetamines, weed, cigarettes, alcohol, video games, sex, porn/masturbation. I also started using weed since the age of 15 and even prior to that alcohol and excessive video gaming, PMO. I think my brain is just addicted a very long time and that’s why it’s ta...

I am 25 months of PAWS and not out yet and still stuck with a lot of symptoms but since 1-2 months I am able to connect with people and to let social situations happen naturally. It took a long time but I feel like it’s been improving a lot lately on that front. I had times where I completely isolat...

Bro I just shed a small tear because I am at a very similar stage of PAWS. I completed 25 months of being sober after years of struggling with weed, cigarettes, amphetamines, porn/masturbation and a lot of other things. I also experience visual problems like visual snow, after images, DP/DR and so m...

Hey guys, I, 27, never posted in this forum before but I recently read through some posts that gave me a lot of hope strength and optimism to keep going and I kinda had the urge to reach out. I am currently close to 24 months of not smoking weed, cigarettes, having orgasms from sex and masturbation....
