Pornography ruined my mental abilities and my memory.
I’m only 24, yet there are entire periods of my life since discovering PMO which I cannot remember. I can remember parts of my childhood more vividly, though that’s much longer ago. If you asked me what P videos I watched during that time though, they’re burned into my brain…
My education seriously suffered as a result of the addiction. I was an A student and top of most of my classes, yet I left school with Cs. I made terrible decisions and wasted my time with PMO, video games and TV shows instead of studying. My cognitive power was very limited so many of my decisions were short-sighted and self-destructive. I remember once asking for an extension on a programming project, only to waste the time I gained again.
The addiction causes so much damage. Let’s break free and begin to heal ourselves.

I had no ability to stay focused or present. I couldn’t think straight. Infact I had a point where I thought I was going insane when I was deep into pornography. Now I don’t have this constant anxious brain and I think a lot clearer and am more present.

This is absolutely me in my 7th grade, the first time when I was hooked on PMO. Doing this stuff literally takes from a person their knowledge and mental power to think deep.
Now I’m free from this for 4months.

@parvis Absolutely brother - it’s really difficult to think straight and produce results when engaged in the addiction.
Fantastic job in being free for 4 months!

It just absolutely melted my brain. I can’t even think straight about the days I had suffered because of porn. I couldn’t think straight, didn’t care what I was doing, didn’t even shower or eat for days straight, goddamn, even thinking about that phase gives me the creeps. And my education went to total shit. It seriously affected my chances of getting into med school, while all my peers dashed ahead of me. But I’m not willing to give up, no sir! Now, I’m working my ass off to the best of my ability. But, the fallout is still there and my brain isn’t back to what it was yet. I’m not quitting and will keep moving forward, to reverse it and get where I want to, even if I have to crawl all the way over.
