Ever since I quit drinking alcohol 42 days ago I found myself thinking about sex and watching porn more often. Is this normal?

I think a lot of people experience a heightened sex drive. I think its probably because we feel more… emotionally and physically.

Everyone has given some pretty good feedback on this to help you out. From a guys perspective, if that’s how you’re feeling, as men we produce testosterone, if you are drinking it suppresses it immensely that’s why the whole whiskey dick is legit. When you arent putting alcohol or other crap substances in your system your organs and glands will start working normally again, but it takes time. You will likely go back to a time when you had a normal sex drive it’s likely your body reacting to what is “normal” that you havent felt in a long time.
Anyways what I would suggest is use that enhanced drive and motivation to build your life even better, it’s going to motivate you to try harder, get in the gym and take that aggression and drive out on lifting weights and exercise.

All addiction is about covering up what we’re feeling. As others have mentioned, trading one addiction for another isn’t going to get us anywhere. I have to find healthy things to keep me occupied while also working on understanding and removing the core issues that led me to act out/use in the first place.
Hope you can find peace.
