- When going through a porn addiction recovery journey, fighting off urges that lead to relapse, can be one of the most challenging aspects.
When that urge hits, which is your brain telling you it wants more dopamine, it's essential not to give in to that desire. Instead of going to the screen to get that much needed dopamine hit, turn towards a healthier means getting it.
While not easy, celebrate the small victories as well as the big wins. This video will go in depth about what this looks like as well as going into a deep dive about dopamine, urges, relapses, and ways to help.

Porn addictions - for both women and men equally - is one of the most difficult additions to overcome because our entire society is extremely saturated in sexual content and messages. Most of our social media platforms are glorified porn websites. Dr. Leigh did a great job explaining the neurological reasons why the urges to have or want sex happen and what can be done to control it.
That and it literally is manifested through our natural instincts to reproduce as opposed to any other addiction. There is no primal instinct that looks for snorting coke up its nose or injecting herion or meth right into its veins
Romantic sexless movies may have similar effect on women...because women are more addicted to verbal contact with a man.
its a "fantasy" addiction.... and fantasy within fantasy, instead of focusing on productive hobbies and and sports
Some said its like "faliing in love with falling in love", not with actual person.
therefore some people dont commmit to relationships because they "fall in love with feeling or image of falling in love"
but as soon as they are supposed to sacrifice something for parrtner or family, they break up and find another partner.
Porn addiction doesnt exist. It seems to be a popular excuse for otherwise flawed individuals. Its not the porn, it is your lack of self-control.
It's true! I'm glad you found the video helpful ❤️🩹
You don’t realize how saturated our media is with sexual content until your actively trying to avoid it.
I relapsed again yesterday after 54 days of not doing it and obviously I was a bit gutted and down about it. But when I thought about how many times I’ve actually done it this year (which is 6 times in 7 months) I realised I’ve actually made a massive improvement from how many times I used to do it overall, so even though I haven’t actually beaten this yet I know I’m actually improving and slowly beating it
You should be proud of yourself.
You know your former self will deeply admire this feat. Only if it could fathom it
Keep going king ❤❤
Slowly beating it is what you should stop though 😂 (all jokes aside, keep it up, youre doing great)
Yes!! I love this way of thinking. Pick yourself back up and keep moving forward!
Don't give up.
@@ChoompaLoompa1985-uw8lw thanks. I’m not planning on giving up 👍
I’m on my way to 3 years free of this. It can and will be possible. Own it…be vocal about it. Keep yourself in God’s light.
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
I just relapsed after almost 2 years of not watching pornography. Obviously was not worth it. I’m fighting right now to recover and hopefully last longer this time. All the doctor says is true. You would think that after a long time of not watching porn you would have become a little bit more immune to it, wrong! You are just as susceptible and vulnerable to get addicted once again just with one little peak.
Don’t get too comfortable if you have achieved a streak like me. The battle is never over, this is not like quitting weed or alcohol. It’s waay worse and way more addicting. Stay away lads.
I'd say don't be too hard on yourself mate, almost 2 years of no porn sounds incredible! How much has your mind and soul been healed? You're doing great, like everyone here 😄
I'm an ex porn addict who is getting there stopping the relapces...Reckon there should be meetings like with AA for Alcoholics with ex porn addicts for porn addiction..
@@anthonylynch4737 I reckon there’s sexaholics anonymous.
i want a ask, did you masturb in that 2 years? is it ok to M without corn?
@@tokyosmitsubishi thank you, it means alot. I feel much more healthier overall, I’m very proud that I have lasted this long. I don’t want to fall into that rabbit hole ever again.
Just lost my partner because of his porn addiction and him choosing it over me but I'm still greatful for these videos in helping me understand and feel more valid in what I've been going through with him
@blakieu I lost a partner because of the decisions I have made, too. It's not your fault
Porn is like McDonald's junk food, gives you the quick it ,but makes you feel shit later.
I am sorry for your losses. I hope you both find faithful partners.
I’m so grateful my wife allowed me to get help and gave me the opportunity to finally change ( even though it was the 2nd time I was confronted). It was a struggle but I quit cold turkey, no relapse. Over a year now and doing great. Way much better relationship with my wife and family.
Almost lost my marriage because of it. We're still in counseling.
I currently have 5 days sober. I have had a sex addiction since I was in my early childhood. I am now 51 years old. I had a relapse after being sober for nearly 2 years without watching porn. That relapse turned into a binge, and just recently, I got out the binge cycle to get back to recovery. I was devastated after a relapse after almost 2 years of sobriety. In addition to watching your videos I also belong to a group for support. I appreciate your knowledge and your insight.
You're doing the things you need to do to succeed in recovery! You've got this!!
@@DrTrishLeighThank you
Honestly, I was going to stop watching these awesome videos because I was afraid Dr. Trish doesn't understand what it's like to be a man. I now realize that has nothing to do with it. For whatever reason, this video was a game changer for me. Dr. Trish has a truly respectable and incredible amount of knowledge on this subject, and has obviously dedicated her life to staying on the cutting edge of the emerging science. Gender has nothing to do with it. Thank you for these life transformative videos, Dr. Trish.
But every fantasy witll dry up....
so no matter how masculine the man is "the fantasies men and women have" are not real, or genuine,
especially if there is an element of supperficial tricks, on your brain, made by the companies.
Brain loves "organic" fantasires as sports or som,e hobbies.
You brain feels the best when you learn new skills, because it makes the brain neurons grow
and maybe rather try to learn "connection" with people, rather than just "reaction" to people.
so you will be endlesly inspired by them and yourself too.
Been dry for 3 weeks. That's the longest streak in years.
Keep it going!
@@DrTrishLeigh i am falling after 10 days suggest some video.
Major props!
@@chrisaga6253 now 4 weeks! Still going strong.

Literally just fought off couple crazy urges today. So glad that I did
Thank You Dr.Trish for the helpful tips. I know what triggers me & I don't click on images & videos that I know might cause me to relapse. I always feel so empty afterwards. The short term pleasure not worth the failure to succeed in self control. Appreciate the encouragement Dr.Trish !
Just think about all of the hot women you're missing out on!
I love this! Thank you for sharing. Keep rocking it out💪
This is a Brilliant explanation.
I got my first 16 days, and it was not easy. I fell four times, but I still never gave up because I knew my value and purpose in life. We can all do this; just remind yourself of the reason why you should quit. Thank you so much, Dr. Trish. God bless you.
You've got this!
So thankful for all your insight.
Something that's really helped me lately has been going to dance classes as many days of the week as possible.
I think a combo of social isolation, and loss of access to my passion (jiu jitsu, due to back injury) made my addiction worse.
I've read/heard that sex addiction can be due to a person not having a purpose in life, or just generally a boring life.
The combo of renewed purpose, daily physical touch, and more regular socialization all from dance classes, has done wonders.
It hasn't been as much of a struggle this time around, and I'm on a 1.5-month streak so far!
I love this insight! Thank you for sharing ❤️🩹
I can definitely say this is absolutely spot on. I’ve been porn free since mid 2021, and what made it easier for me than others is that when I gave into an urge, I felt worse, not better. Plus, I noticed the very same patterns come up when it comes to food around the end of 2021, so becoming aware of myself living out the same patterns through other things showed me that just because porn was out of my life for good, the pattern was still there.
Excellent video. Thank you ❤
Great video thank you !
Very informative, thx for sharing. I can attest to what you said to be true. This can be applied to anyone suffering from addictions. It's too bad that there is not more of this to help those who struggle with addiction(s).
I just found this, THANK YOU, very helpful.
Brilliant explanation
Awesome video, thank you for sharing this. Porn is such a horrible addiction. As we recover, we need to keep our guard up 24/7. We are 2 clicks away from relapse. Its like a recovering alcoholic walking around with a fully stocked bar in their pocket.
Relapsed after a long streak, I was recently laid off work, and I've spent a month searching with no luck. I finally broke down and fell back into those old habits. Starting yesterday, I got back on the train to healing. It's a constant battle.
Wow, this is so on point. Thank you Doc. I learnt a few things from this video. I am going to resume counting the days without porn in my life now. I had started but lost focus and scrapped the counter. I think counting and seeing how many days I have gone without is a good thing. I am going to set a target of 50 days without any porn and then reward myself at the end of it with a purchase of my choosing - that will be an added incentive to keep me on track.
Hi Dr Trish I am almost 43 days clean thanks to your tips !
I love this! Keep it going 💪
Thanks for the tip.
really needed to hear this right now. I have been having some brutal relapses, and it is affecting my relationship in a negative way.

I love to hear it!
@@DrTrishLeigh Wish I was in United States would love to meet you 😘😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏
So true.....when you bite the bait,there's no turning Back.
Preach brother. I bit the bait after almost 2 years of being porn free and I’m struggling so hard because of it. However, If I could escape satan’s hands when he had full grip of me back then, then, I think I can do it now once more.
Great video! It really helps to just block access too, getting blocking software on our phones, and computers. Covenant Eyes is great.
Yes! I love this strategy, thank you for sharing!
@@DrTrishLeigh just helps making it more difficult to access the drug.
I tried covenant eyes but I kept going back to the source and changing the settings till I was satisfied and then turn it back on to the full blocker. I think it is better to know why you created a decision to change, and that, instead of seeking the outlet, seek this dialogue of others expressing their battle to be overcomes as well
@@wesleymcmurrin7704 You gotta have an accountability partner that has the passcode settings, and gets the report.
thank you so much mam i have been watching your videos for past two years whenever i feel like loosing a streak i come to watch your videos so that i can remind my brain how bad porn is...thank you so much you are a savior of my ife from porn i have realized a lot from your videos...your videos still keep me moving

And I'm thankful for you!
This sounds like a 12 step program, like AA , NA and this sex addiction. Trying to live a healthy life style is hard. In a perfect world , a healthy couple would pleasure each other , so they are satisfied. Thats hard work also. Friendship, respect, honesty, loyalty, Love, Boundries, kindness, empathy , laughter etc. etc Being human is a difficult thing. Getting to Authenticity or Self Actualization , there are an overwhelming # of lessons. All the best acheiving your goals.
Best benefit i get from quitting PMO is mood stability.
I am so sick and fucking tired of this disease that literally ruined my life. I wish I never discovered porn. It’s the most difficult addiction to quit for good.
It could be stupendously difficult but it is possible! I was an edger for years. I've had literally the worst of it, and it's gone. God helped me too.
Hang in there, I know how you feel. I had to turn to Christ to finally break the cycle.
Good job Dr Trish!
Very true I’m 9 months in and before this long streak I was binge relapsing until I finally caught myself
Thank you doctor

This video is super helpful. Wow... you described my EXACT struggle when I do relapse. I get too much pain over the weeks of abstaining in my pelvic region though so I need to release every so often (yeah I'm single for now). I also learned through methylation that I don't deplete dopamine too well. I wonder what that would look like, as you mention the 4 D's of Dopamine.. could you share a visual of this? I MUST catch myself when my thoughts start thinking during that "drip" you mention. I've done well in the past, and just "look the other way" you know? I've done streaks of 90+ days but find myself struggling recently. Summer time has an effect too haha.. but I do feel inspired after watching this once again! Here's to fighting the good fight!!!
i just relapsed after going 10 days without it which is my highest and i feel horrible and disgusted by myself. I still have the urges and i feel it throughout the whole day. I dont have any distractions to help me get through it. Its so hard man and i dont know what to do about it
Thank you doc!! Outstanding!!
I just imagine Jesus saying, “Do you love me? Don’t just say it. Prove it. Then I stop myself from watching porn
Just wanted to say appreciate your videos . I been struggling with this addiction since 15 . Didn’t actually try to quit since I turned 19 I’m 24 now and since than I just had semi long streaks of abstinence and than I would binge or edge for awhile . I can gladly say I just got to 90 days clean today . Trying to really rewire and heal from this addiction once and for all. My motivation been pretty high lately and extremely grateful for the progress I made . How long more do you think I need for my dopamine to go back to normal also any tips while I continue my recovery ?
I have had problems with pornography since I was probably 10. I'm 54 now.
There have been times that I was able to go for a little while not viewing. But the last several years have been rough. And it seems like I really can't stop now.
The longest I've abstained recently is 2 or 3 weeks. I think one of my biggest triggers happens to be found at my work. I work in a grocery store. Some ladies come in there dressed in clothing that is very provocative. I try to remain respectful and I don't stare, I often avoid looking in their direction altogether.
The problem is once that image is in my head it's very difficult to get it out. Often I come home exhausted as my hours are kind of crazy. That is more often than not when I fall.
I really do hate this. I have Covenant Eyes and an accountability partner, but I have learned how to cheat the system, (and consequently, myself). Sometimes I will go ahead and snitch myself out, but by then the damage is done.
I really do hate this vicious cycle.
Whatever we resist persist
Me too. Just as long. Was introduced to it when I was 10. Never could have imagined then how tenacious a hold the addiction would have on me.
I just cant beat it
Yes you can! If you need help, I'm here! drtrishleigh.com
@@DrTrishLeigh I just wish i could afford it
Proverbs 8:18
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
From November to March I stayed away but relapsed on 30 march and now I am staying away till today. I realized Dopamin PC games can make you want to watch p.
After staying away 2 months I went from 800 elo to 1000 elo in chess without practising that much.
Its something about how modern entertainment is wired specifically for those dopamine hits, even games which were about mastery and getting better in the past are now designed around that dopaminergic loop. And it can definitely increase urges for a stronger hit
I saw gaming as a healthier replacement. Been on semen retention for a while
broo this is literally meee, i stuck on 600 for a years, and just hit 750 after a month quit corn
This is a great thing to realize! Get back on track and keep rocking it out💪
Maam tell them try not to quit the medium instead try to control your brain understanding the dopamine mechanism
100% TRUE😀
The problem is, the blocker is working for me, but if get rid of the blocker I relapes, but then, I can't just have a blocker for ever???
If someone reads this one day, feel free to ask me how I'm doing, and I'll update the comment. (I won't necessarily respond every day, but if my comment is 1. seen among this many comments) 2. I'm regularly asked, I will update regularly.)
First comment written on July 3rd, 2024.
I'm doing this cause i'm kind of apathetic, kind of depressed.
Maybe it will give future people some ideas about how things are going and will help them, also writing regularly might help me as well.
I think I've had an addiction for about 10 years, maybe more, I can't remember.
Today: July 3rd, 2024. It's been 14 days since I started rewiring. Currently in "monk mode." (planned for full monk mode for 3 months then after that, we'll see, but if I were to start practicing again, it would definitely be without visual support and done in a conscious, planned manner (at least that's what I plan for now, but let's get to 3 months first ^^)
The first 12 days were easy for me. I had already quit for that long before and restarted, so I expected it. I also knew it was boredom that got me back into it. I hadn't really studied how to quit back then; I tried to quit without researching, and I got caught off guard.
For years, except sometimes having nightmares when I'm sick, I don't remember my dreams/nightmares at night. None at all.
I think after 9-10 days, I started having erotic dreams, which hadn't happened in a long time. (1. dreaming (at least remember it) 2. of that nature).
Yesterday: 13th day: I started having trouble 1. falling asleep 2. staying asleep. It's not super serious, but I get a little less sleep than usual, knowing that before this, my sleep schedule was regular. I would fall asleep quickly at the same time and wake up easily at the same time, every day except for special occasions (like parties).
Today: 14th day, despite getting less sleep than normal, but still enough, I feel quite tired, mentally foggy, and have no desire to work. I'm currently keeping my mind busy and doing activities to make sure I don't relapse.
Until next time.
The first relapse after a long abstinence is horrible, not only after wards, but during too. It's like the most empty, watered down sensation. The ones after the first one, during the binge, feel much better but you're still at that point chasing a high that doesn't exist.
5:03 was that a reference to a puscifer's song?
True
I just relaosed today after 40 days and now feeling so mich down today. It was because of depressed and sad thoughts. I don't know how to deal with that after a month.

Thanks so much for this video Trish. Three years no porn and no fap. However slipped up the other day when home alone and was edging.. Ugh. I can see how this could become a binge. Got to keep fighting!
I’ve heard of edging, but don’t know what it is. By looking at these videos I been porn free almost 40 days. But what is edging?

@@kelvinwilliams4029 you masturbate until you reach the moment just before climax, wait for the situation to calm down and then start again repeating the process until releasing the full orgasm gets inevitable
You are an angel in the body of a human!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the kind words my friend!
The hardest part for me is that it seems like no matter where I look, everything is being sexualized. Our media is full of soft pornography and you don’t realize it until your actively trying to stay away from all of it.
Its a two side coin, if you relapse but do it just once being able to control yourself after it you gonna feel a crazy boost of energy the next days but its really difficult to not fall into that cycle again especially during that day you relapsed
Relapses and slips are part of the journey, but my hope is that you will no longer experience those!
Thankyou Trish. I am currently on binge. I relapsed after a year.
I'm sorry to hear that! Understand what you let fall through, adjust your recovery plan accordingly, and then move on!

Porn has caused my prostate to act up and get inflamed! I have difficulty urinating I’m only 29 I’ve been told I’m quite good looking but yet it’s so difficult to stay away from it even though I’m on semen retention
I got a question regarding to things in relapsing:
1. My motivation to keep away becomes less and less strong
2. P*rn becomes less and less of a bad thing in my mind rather a good thing that I start to look forward to.
I find that when I relapse knowing fully that I'm relapsing and binging, it's not that I do this compulsory and not in controll of my own body. I do it because the aforementioned two points happening. So what can we do in this situation? When I manage to keep away it's because I deeply think that p*rn is bad and evil and I want no part in it, but this can turn around. Why?
It's very easy to forget how powerless you are over porn.
This is something that happens with all addicts.
Assuming you are in fact addicted. You may still think it's just a matter of will & If you can just hang on to the idea that porn is bad, you'll succeed.
If this truly is an addiction that will never work.
I notice you think that you aren't looking at porn compulsively & even in control of your body.
Yet, you can't seem to stop.
@@MultipleGrievance But the main point I'm getting at is that I'm not at all powerless when I actually believe that it's a bad thing. It's not a matter of being powerfull. It's a matter of fluctuating evaluation of p*rn that causes relapses with me. I don't consistently believe that it is bad.
@mestayno
Bro, Your morality and your will are the same thing. One guides the other. Even if what you're claiming is true and it's simply a matter of you hanging on to the notion that porn is bad, your will power STILL will not be enough against an addiction this strong.
Intention isn't enough. You need strategies.
This is the hijacker in your mind! It's trying to convince you that porn isn't a problem in order to get you back to the screen!
This p addiction is really annoying I’m about to hit 10 years on this crap. I’m 30 in a year in a half. I’m doing a lot better than the past few years but I still every 2 weeks or month in I’ll relapse and relapse hard. I’m like to the point were I want to crush my phone and my laptop.

How do you know if you are addicted if you had stopped watching it all together a long time ago?
If you found that you couldn't stop watching it, you were addicted!
@@DrTrishLeigh if you had made a conscious decision to stop and not look back, since then nor crave it or miss it is that considered an addiction?

So does that mean one should never ever masterbate? If that isn't the case then how many days of gap is ideal between each masterbate session?
Thanks docs I'm so fortunate I found this video.
I think it's more about not viewing porn rather than never masterbating
DOC how to stop day dreamin ?
To late for me I relapsed last night. I went two weeks and then just broke.
I've been observing all the things that happen as I try to get out of this addiction to Porn.
19 days abstained, 1 week of crashes
29 days, 1 week
43 days, 1 week
Good to understand whats going on, with that 1 week as I continuously learn what causes me to crash in the first place.
Now I just gotta find something that I seriously enjoy to help me not give in which is gonna be a little difficult to figure out.
Wonder if there's something I can do to help me launch out of that 1 week.
You are correct.
What you need is a dopamine replacement system. Preferably a stack of high dopamine producing activities That you can perform regularly.
I call it building a life you don't need to escape from.
Physicality worked real well for me......
I practice a martial art, indoor rock climbing, work out almost every day etc.

How do you feel this week?
@@erniesolis3289 I haven't relapsed.I finally managed to have sex again 2 weeks ago after battling HOCD for 5 months which of course felt like a triumph in my fight against that but I still got a long way to go I am now back in the gym which shows you distraciton is also very important.

i won the 2023 nnn. this made me realise this don't give anything to life. you have real goals to focus on. not fake illusions. even if you fall move forward with your personal real goals. this is all 99.9% times fake pron has nothing to do with life you have.
i was edging don't get me wrong it wasn't easy i'm human too but the point to where i got is important(realisation fake vs real). focus on reality not on fake(pron). this is same like if woman reads only fantasy novels but don't interact with real world. as fake. isn't worth it especially everyone has real goals with limited time. your own time you couldn't buy back with all the money in the world even if you had.

I have hand panic attacks much of my life. I have watched porn as a way to distract from them getting worse. I'm absolutely sure that while it may seem to help at times. It's likely a double-ended sword against me.
It is absolutely a double-edged sword! It may be time to target anxiety from the brain. If you're interested, consider getting your brain assessed! drtrishleigh.com/qeeg-brain-map/
II RELAPSED TODAY I AM SUCH A MESS CRYING
you are not a mess brother.Much love to you.🙏
That's okay my friend! Understand what you let fall through, adjust your recovery plan accordingly, and then move on!
Reading the Bible daily, will take away the urge to watch
Finding something that gives your life meaning is essential!
That book is the main basis for Incest porn videos😂😂
Reading the Bible is even worse offense.
That's crazy that porn is considered a higher dopamine stimulus than skydiving.
It's crazy to think about!
pleaseee answer me anyone, if i M without p*rn, is it count as a relapse?
When attempting to leave porn behind, it's best to leave masturbation behind as well!

SOMETHING WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT, IS BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE STREET🤔LET'S STAY STRONG.
I've been thru this cycle a thousand times......
I learned that I cannot masterbait to even non explicit photos, because my brain doesn't know the difference between pornographic material and Normal everyday photos. I still get the dopamine deluge regardless........ And that sets off the chaser effect and eventually I Relapse on explicit material.
What is the hunter effect? It happens to me that I start seeing girls on Instagram and end up falling :(

Exactly! When recovering from a porn addiction, masturbation also needs to go

The chaser effect.
After your brain gets a significant amount of dopamine it sets off The obsessive compulsive component of addiction.
Just like the heroin addict who wants to get extremely high, Or the alcohol who wants to get blind drunk.

I know ☹️
I'm not there yet.
Very often , it's the only thing that's keeping me from relapsing on porn.
There's just enough of a neuro chemical cascade from climax to satiate my disease for awhile.
There is someone who wants you to remain in this prison, in this life and the next...we all know the truth deep down. Choose to care about your life and eternity. Porn is a vast highway to doom.
yeah before i relapsed 2 days ago it felt like a drug the moment i clicked incoginto mode much more euphoric than the real action . Its even much more worse than before.
people who started publishing pornography do not acknowledge how damaging and detrimental that is for people. another thing that is suspicious is what type of women get into pornography and why they chose to play in those films. decades in the past when pornography was not as accessible people were not as obsessed with sexuality, nowadays they sexualise anything and any circumstance
yeah i know aout binges i pretty much relapse every week now, yesterday i relapsed 4 times from 8 day streak and 1 time today :((((((((((((
It's time to re-adjust your recovery plan!
I need a better plan 1 week relapse 2x Dr. Is it normal to experience sore scrotums AKA blue ball ?
Is it possible to rewire without having sex? My wife has told me she’s not interested in intimacy with me because she’s too hurt
It's absolutely possible!
