What are you recovering from if you don’t mind me asking?
I do know for most addicts, from Day 4-day 17 is the worst in terms of withdrawals.
Just so you know what to expect but everyone is different and lots of variation.
It will get easier with time but the beginning will be hard, but don’t use as you will have to go through these again.

For me personally I spent many years on the carousel of watching a little bit here, a little bit there, until - inevitably - I relapsed. The difference for me started when I started attending a group recovery program at Sexaholics Anonymous www.SA.org. There are other groups too: Resources for our recovery - #64 by NealRecoveryCA
Take care and be safe

Porn addiction…the anxiety of stopping forever gets really bad around day 3
There are many of us here struggling from the same addiction.
For me it gets really bad after day 3. As in the cravings and it actually does manifest in the brain as withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety, stress over little things, not thinking clearly… the list goes on and it’s all linked.
I’m right behind you. I had a recen reset. Not from watching porn per say, but more reading something explicit which included pictures.
Keep pushing through. I’m also looking for an accountability partner, but I’ll try and attend a lot of meetings over the next 90 days.
