Thanks for sharing the article. Is there any evidence of the PFC strengthening after conquering the addiction and with time?

due to our current understanding of neuroplasticity, I very well believe it’s at least 90%+ reversible. I don’t think we can completely undo it, but maybe that is possible in several years of a clean sheet.

But more than that, like this forum’s namesake, I believe the better alternative is to rewire the brain to associate real sex with pleasure not ■■■■. And staying celibate till the time we can.

above is an article on effects of abstinence on meth addicts. Similar conclusion can be drawn here thought in ■■■■ addiction it’s on a much lower scale and withdrawal symptoms are very minor compared to it.
