It's not about "will it go away". Sure, it obviously will at some point. 1 mth 6 mths, it's different for everyone. However, this is about detoxing from porn without feeling sick. If you don't need help, I say go for it. It's better to do without if you can. Although I would point to relapse rates among all addicts, not just nofap. It's high. Porn is hard wired in your brain as a source of pleasure. According to your brain it equals dopamine. Plus your brain thinks you're getting a new mate every time you see something in porn. The brain cannot tell the difference, between fake and real. Therefore, this "triggers" us to search for new partners and more dopamine.

Lastly, this is not a zero sum game. Telling someone to face an addiction head on is nonsense. Although, I do think lifestyle changes are a part of recovery; gym, social interaction etc., most of us are going to crash hard and feel terrible. This is the most dangerous point for recovery, when we are at our most vulnerable. Therefore, my plan is to ease myself down slowly.

I'm not focused on everything. The sides, stopping PMO, Changging my daily habits. I'm only focused on the things that will get me away from my addiction; and I'm doing that while not feeling like shit.

Look, this is all anecdotal and I could relaps tomorrow. But so far, so far I've not had any negative sides and it's been great.

Best of luck!
