It appears Saturday Night Live may have poked fun at the ongoing debate about computer use policies at the Orland Park Public Library. Seth Meyers during Weekend Update said "a library in Chicago is now allowing patrons to look at porn on their computers as long as they show ID first. Said people who look at porn in the library, 'no deal.'" (Go to 1:27 into the video for the segment)
Porn has a major impact on your brain and its neurochemistry, so when you are working to quit porn, your brain will go through some significant changes that alters its chemistry. In our free ebook, Your Brain on Porn, Luke Gilkerson describes some of these chemical changes:
Have you noticed a common theme yet? Porn and the symptoms associated with withdrawal impact our mental health. In the long run, quitting porn will improve your mental health, but in the heat of porn addiction withdrawal, you may find yourself feeling more depressed than normal.
Your life and body just underwent a major change, so feeling down as you work to quit porn is not out of the ordinary. You cannot have what your mind craves and this may bring on a deep sadness. Also, the other porn withdrawal symptoms you feel have the potential to band together and leave you feeling even more depressed.
You also might be feeling overwhelming thoughts of shame. Although I am here to tell you that you should not let yourself be trapped in the far-too-common shame cycle that accompanies porn addiction, the reality of the matter is that you are likely to feel a sense of shame. This shame can lead to even more damaging thoughts. Is my relationship doomed? Will I ever feel normal again? How did I let this happen?
There are many different types of therapy and finding someone who understands addiction and is trained in the area of porn and sex addiction can make a huge difference. Not only will a therapist be able to guide you through the recovery process, but they can also serve as an additional accountability partner in your journey to stay free from porn!
In the midst of the withdrawal symptoms you are feeling, it will be easy to just want to isolate (scroll back up to the social anxiety discussed in point #4). In moments of crisis, especially when temptation levels are high, being alone has the potential to only worsen your symptoms.
Thanks for the advice! I am also a runner and so I am replacing the porn high for the run high! I am also eating healthier, drinking more water and setting a set time to go to bed: 10:30-5:30. This also stops me from staying up to late and being by myself. I go to bed before or with my wife. Lastly, I am feeding my mind more of the Word in the morning and it is beginning to renew my mind! Praise God!
I can go for a month resisting porn then fall back into it. Last year I resisted porn for six months then could not stop looking at it. A few other times, I went for a month or more then fell back into porn.Yesterday, fell into porn. Had resisted for over a month.
Do you have someone walking alongside this freedom journey with you? When you do fall back into porn, confess this to them and ask them to pray for you and continue to hold you accountable. Think about what triggers led to this relapse and make a plan to avoid those triggers next time. Our free ebook, Hobbies and Habits, offers some great tools for turning away from porn.
I thought that the headaches and the teeth grinding at night were just due to anxiety. In addition to trying to stay away from porn, I have drastically decreased watching or reading the local and national news. So, my symptoms could very well be linked to withdraw from both of these activities. Thanks for the good article. Joe 041b061a72
