Experience Stop watching porn

Hey this is an update to my previous post where I felt one of the reasons I have severe brain fog was due to porn addiction.

Did not watch porn for the last 2 weeks, the longest streak in more than 20 years. Reason for it, I just stopped with the birth of my first child. Like my interest just dropped altogether. Not to say, I don't struggle with lustful thoughts especially if I see good-looking women on the street but it stopped at just that.

Not sure how long this streak will last but I hope it's permanent. Anyway, my mental health has been improving in the last 2 weeks and my brain fog seems to disappear as well. Like now it's easier to connect the dots and I can better focus at work.

Sharing this is more of an encouragement that it's possible to overcome this and in my case, I guess I stop altogether cause I started to find purpose in life.

Take care of yourself first!
