She's keeping many men myself included in chastity for our own good haha. I hit my 4 week mark in 2 days and proud of myself on this new journey of self discovery. Porn and seeking immoral relationships has wrecked my life since early adulthood. I hope to meet a good vanilla woman one day and not be so awkward. God bless all who read this.
I’ve been clean for a long time now. Don’t know how long because I stopped focusing on streaks but it’s over 6 months now forsure. I can 100 percent say I am cured from porn addiction. Dr. Trish Leigh has 100 percent helped me break this addiction. I’m cured now and don’t even think about Porn anymore, but I still watch every new video from Dr. Leigh because it helps to reinforce the new healthy mindset and sexuality that I have developed throughout this journey. Sobriety feels soooo good.
I wondered if there was something to the not counting the days, like then if you mess up you then feel inclined to just really mess up. Vs not counting means you just take that step today. That's all. Any thoughts on this brother?
@@Leandre22_02 I guess so, after 3 weeks I definitely feel more driven and motivated while working out, allowing me to squeeze in an extra rep which is very good
Dr.Leigh. Thank you for input on porn. Lots of men don't know or have any idea that porn destroys the brain. Like myself been involved with porn since I was a kid. Believe it was normal to do this, now I'm recovering under your program. Thanks again..
Masturbation is the worst habit any young man can get into. It robs you of your self esteem, confidence and makes you timid. You become socially awkward and weird. Don’t do it.
I've stopped watching porn, and more importantly the acting out that eventually evolves. I can't remember a time in my life when sex and porn wasn't there. I'm 55 now, and have masturbated and added porn for the last 45 years. I agree that porn addiction is harder than alcohol addiction recovery. And like any other addict, I can never say I'm cured or healed. It's always just below the surface and the perfect storm of circumstances can occur at any time. I have to be vigilant and constantly be on alert. It's hard, but hopefully is putting me on the right track to saving my marriage.
Being aware each time your ego convinces you to watch it again… and watching videos like this or going for a run helps get you back on track. You got this
40 years addicted , 18 months sober. Surrender to the Lord, admit with your heart you are powerless. You are hear for a reason. Follow Dr. Trish. If you drink you need to stop that too. I have never been so liberated.
@@oliverkent7158 No. I'm not saying I didn't have God or believe in Him. However, surrendering to God was my last and only option. After 40 years it was apparent I was powerless to control pornography. Over the past 18 months, through daily prayer, education, individual and group counseling could I finally defeat the scourge upon me. I have grown closer to the Lord through this whole process.
@@toddstill1671 good news. I have struggled since 2008 since divorce. Nothing has worked although there have been some months long streaks. It's a spiritual battle for sure. Thanks.
Recently, my wife told me she’s no longer interested in sex, and she said it’s because we’re just getting older, so it never occurred to me that my porn habit had anything to do with it, until Dr. Trish mentioned that this is quite common among porn users’ partners.
@@TennisArena365 I refuse to take enhancements because I will be all ready for my wife but then she will say let’s wait until tomorrow but then tomorrow I get another excuse from her. So i would end up masterbating because the drive is so high without an outlet
I am consistently being driven toward recovery by your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will sign up with one of your courses within two weeks. Sincerely, Charlie Jones
I wish i had found this channel sooner... I have already stopped watching porn for a very long time and one of the reason is because i quit WEED which helped me to get rid of porn habbit
This is what the neuroscience has taught me and thanks to Dr. Trish for doing so....... All addicts have corrupted nueral pathways that they've developed. These pathways Cannot be killed , but you can atrophy them by not using them. You can thank Heb's law for that one...... The recovery worlds already know That you can't let your guard down. It's a very common understanding, That's the reason why they insist you "keep coming back" They say that. Granted They call it a disease, And as we know it's just neuroscience BUT at the end of the day that doesn't really matter. What matters is they understand That once you've been addicted to something, There's no going back To a normal life. You do in fact have to keep your guard up for the rest of your life. And once you've entered the maintenance phase, It's not that hard at all.
Fasting with water only for more than 24 hours spawns neurogenesis, and creates new neural pathways. I’ve done a few 3 day water fasts and it has really helped me.
Had 5 months of sobriety The lust thoughts slipped back in and alot of emotioal pain at the time was more than I could take..I relapsed... That was in april...I am now 11 days into it again now....I want this life...I feel so powerfull on nofap and I want it to stay...
if you watch it now and then its not a addiction? its like going for a walk with your dog! or going out for some thing to eat or drink its called pleasure!!!
I was free for a long time and I just relapsed yesterday. Now I have to start all over. Telling everyone is the beginning thank you Dr.Trish And I know that between Jesus and Dr.Trish we can be free.
Thank you Dr Trish and the man with you . God bless you both keep up the good work that you are doing to help many others overcome and get the total victory over these things Amen.
For many years we. have been hearing from the religious world how bad and harmful this pornography and masterbation is. Now these last few years we have been also hearing from the scientific health world how harmful this stuff is. So by God's grace and help the sooner and more andore we put this rotten garbadge behind us theuch better we will all be men and women.Spiritually naturally mentally emotionally physically socially your love life better all the way round.
I'm now realizing I have a porn addiction. And I'm afraid of what might happen if I try to quit. It feels like the world is filled with so many triggers
Most people don’t even admit they have a problem, or if they do, they have the attitude of never giving it up. Then hopefully they realize they can’t give it up.. start doing research to realize how it sucks the life and goodness from us… The become willing to surrender to it… 🙏🏼💯
If you find yourself with a masturbation problem that you can't seem to solve on your own, it may be necessary to seek professional help from your doctor, a counselor, or a sex therapist.
The problem with doctors is that they don't care. They want to prescribe you a generic drug like Sildenafil or Tadalafil, get their share of sale and forget about you ( that's how a majority of men even address the topic to their doctor only when they already have physical problems - ED, PE and so on). Doctors don't even ask you about porn use or ( worse) trying to convince you it's normal.
So then what is a healthy amount of masturbation. Obviously this is going to be different for everyone, but what does a healthy amount look like? What seems like an easy question to answer has become extremely murky. I never believed that porn was healthy, but I didn't think it was as incredibly harmful as I do now. This is leading me to question the relationship I have with masturbation even outside the use of pornography.
People become addicted to porn before they’re married. They bring it into their marriage… It’s already a problem before their relationship even starts.
Why is dopamine not insatiable with normal s-x in marriage? In other words, why doesnt s-x with marriage turn into a negative slippery slope versus the topics today?
Have you heard Andrew Huberman talk about the science about why porn and masterbation is bad? He was the first one I really heard talk about it scientifically.
@drtrishleigh , thank you so much for your videos, my friend introduced you to me. I have been heavily addicted to porn for 15 years, and im 26 now. i've had seasons where i stopped, but they were short-lived and overshadowed by the multiple daily sessions (at times, reaching up to 10+ times per day). My dance with this addiction has been extensive. i was raised christian, and for a time this added an insurmountable level of guilt and shame to my spirit, which i now know are common sensations with porn addictions. but ultimately, i've always known i was a good person, and decided early on that through porn, i couldnt hurt anyone; no STDs, no pregnancy scares, no heartbreaks, no intermingling of energies. My story is a long one, and im sure you've heard every variation already. about 6 months ago, i prayed to whomever was listening, for a way out of this. being that i mixed my porn addiction with my weed addiction (of 7 years), the sensations were strong and deeply rooted. my categories went from normal sex, to men finishing on women, and finally to freeuse, and i eventually realized that all my life i was chasing a childhood fantasy of freeuse. and when i noticed the mainstream categories shifting in this direction, plus weed becoming more popularized, and the invention of VR, i became scared. i knew that if i didnt stop now, i would be trapped forever, bc it was as if the porn industry was reading my fantasies and creating exactly what i always hoped for as a young boy (i guess that goes to show that im not alone). About 6 months ago, i met the woman of my dreams. after many relationships and many breakups (not to mention a battle with PE and ED), i finally feel that i've met my future bride. She is a good and wise woman, and she said from the beginning that she cant have a life with a man who she shares with porn, nor does she want our children to watch their parents addicted to any substances. its been 6 months without porn or weed, though ive occasionally dabbled in viewing erotic images on google, or watching suggestive videos on youtube (with the excuse that, as long as theres no nudity, im fine). additionally, masterbation was running rampant for a while. i now find myself almost hoping that this relationship fails, so that i have an excuse to indulge in these addictions again. i see it effecting my relationships and i know that this desire is not the desire of my heart, and instead i yearn for freedom-- freedom in myself, to be my true Self, without dependency on anything. but i often fear that my relationship is the only thing keeping me from falling back into old habits, and i want to honor this love by loving myself, and choosing to stay sober for my sake, and then for her sake. I know you have 90 day courses, and im wondering if theres any way for me to speak with you, and share my story fully, and glean some perspective. i realize i need help, and i need a group, bc i want to finally be healed. i know it will be a never-ending journey, but my heart is on fire for this mission, so that one day i can help many other men and women overcome this as well (including my future children). Thanks for reading, and God bless you and your mission:) Peace and Love
Yeah, for sure. Stress and irratibility are big ones. But one thing that was mentioned in the video that was really key, is that porn only ADDS more stress to your life. How? Because every time you feed your brain with dopamine, it requires more of it to de-stress and relax again.
Awesome video. You guys are great. Integrity is the opposite of shame. Which one do we choose. It’s all up to us personally to answer that . This channel is the true road to recovery and integrity. I knew it was a brain thing, but I couldn’t explain how to rewire it. Now it is all making sense. Thank you again for helping us, I choose integrity 💪
@@soulone22 I'm sure your fine, but you are sounding like shit right now, that's what I hear. The question is what kind of problem are you having with masturbation? I got no problem as far as soulone22 is concerned. It's all about you.
@@soulone22 well, clearly Trish has emasculated you and you’re afraid. I accept your apology for sticking your nose in. Don’t going doing that again, if you don’t mind, you know nothing about “journeys”.
I understand pornography is not healthy, but don’t most mammals masturbate? So, if a person can masturbate without the use of pornography, is it healthy?
The problem is that we tie masturbating and pornography consumption together. There is nothing wrong with masturbation. It is visuals that are super stimulating ( since we are relying on our vision for the world perception) and add a tremendous amount of dopamine, which can't be recreated in real life with a real person
I have questions,why most scientists and doctors recommend ejaculation. They say ejaculation is good for the immune system. Do scientists lie on us and follow propaganda. Thank you. God bless you all.
You are a GOD woman. I work as a wellness coach and I suggest your channel to all my clients. People are realising how bad this is and they want help. You are giving people what they need. Keep doing the God's work!
The question I have is, you talk about people who done this for 20 years, what about some one who has used it for double that to deal with stresses In there life. And is it possible to undo the damage done to the brain for that long.
Its always possible my friend. It will be harder for some than others, but if you are committed it will happen for you. Stress and anxiety is a main reason people get addicted to the screen, you are not alone!
If anyone is new to NoFap and is thinking twice before watching this video, let go and watch this video! You will start becoming a better version of yourself
I am "same sex attracted " I am living chaste as the Church encourages. Working on my porn addiction is part of my recovery loop. Is there anything else that can could suggest for continued recovery?
It's been 2 months ,I didn't relapsed yet,I feel my energy is high but I didn't get motivation do my academic studies,i feel lethargic, I do my all daily chores nonetheless ,I don't wish to do my exams studies and my academic studies,when these energies get settled?
That's great man, please keep it up :) I'd say that you will start to regulate normally after you start to REPLACE the habit with something else that is really exciting to you. If school/work is not that interesting, then naturally it's not going to bring you much joy. So I'd recommend finding a single project to work on that makes you WANT to get up in the morning. We all have something...
@@BenUyama man you can't relate to us coz you didn't suffer from this, there's much 'bout nofap you didn't know,it's been 2 months nd I didn't see those stuff but what 'bout my academic studies,I won't able to do read and write from the day I came into this so it's my huge request to find some solutions for this problem coz my exam are coming and if i won't studies hard then I'll be not able to bring good marks
I can see this being true but can Porn really be stopped because it has been around for centuries and the only difference is technology. Do we want to go back to the Elizabethan era when Porn was illegal and have it go underground becoming more dangerous and unhealthy.
Eliminating porn legally speaking is not the solution, but rather focusing on educating about the harms and letting people decide on their own. That is infinitely more effective in actually helping people than shock treatment or outlawing it.
Hi Dr i have a Question for U . I stop porn many months ago ! I stop masturbation 5 weeks ago . And still , i have sometimes those nights where i sleep like 6 hours and wake up extremely tired and depressed. When i feel like that it takes like 3 days do go , i guess my brain is fucked ? Well i dont do drugs but sometimes i drink alcohol when the pain is too high i cant live with it , cam u help me . Is it normal ? Thank u and god bless u
Hi Brandon, you're not fucked my friend! Dr. Leigh and I have both seen cases where people have healed and came back from a heavy addiction. We all have to start somewhere, and I think you should celebrate your progress and keep your energy levels up and motivation going. I think it's important to realize that your dependence on porn/alcohol is not definite. Meaning, you don't NEED porn. But rather, your brain has found that porn/drinking is the fastest way to take you out of stress (temporarily). But the more you do that, the more your brain is "needing" you to feed it. This is exactly why people develop addictions over a period of time, and also why people tend to get more irritable and stressed over time. Because of that dependency. But it's a false dependency.

I've never understood the notion of being married, and reverting to porn. If you're married, why would anybody even "need" it???
People become addicted to porn before they’re married. They bring it into their marriage… It’s already a problem before their relationship even starts.
Lust is a beast that can't be tamed through marital sex. It is obviously much more complex than summing it up in that one sentence.

The biggest obstacle is dealing with the withdrawal symptoms
Yeah, for sure. Stress and irratibility are big ones. But one thing that was mentioned in the video that was really key, is that porn only ADDS more stress to your life. How? Because every time you feed your brain with dopamine, it requires more of it to de-stress and relax again.

@@soulone22 well, clearly Trish has emasculated you and you’re afraid. I accept your apology for sticking your nose in. Don’t going doing that again, if you don’t mind, you know nothing about “journeys”.
Thanks for your professional insight.
Shes doing god's work 👑
I am benefiting from dr trish leigh
This is day 8 those urges are hell man I tell you
I cant get past 10 days😢
You’ve helped me the most
I quit porn I feel like I shedded 20 years
don’t listen to this negativity. you CAN masturbate and prosper
Why?
Because it is damaging your brain 🧠.
@@DrTrishLeigh what if you don't have a partner? Can''t it be worse having no sex stimulation at all?
I understand pornography is not healthy, but don’t most mammals masturbate? So, if a person can masturbate without the use of pornography, is it healthy?
The problem is that we tie masturbating and pornography consumption together. There is nothing wrong with masturbation. It is visuals that are super stimulating ( since we are relying on our vision for the world perception) and add a tremendous amount of dopamine, which can't be recreated in real life with a real person
Dr.Trish Leigh is the truth
my palms are hairy
I have questions,why most scientists and doctors recommend ejaculation. They say ejaculation is good for the immune system. Do scientists lie on us and follow propaganda. Thank you. God bless you all.
She never claimed ejaculation is harmful
A 15 year old can go asleep with the light on , can't go asleep with a hard on.
Frustration and serious irrational thinking usually at day 15: hope to defy my demons.
You will get through this! I have full faith
So glad I found this channel. I'm ready to change
You are a GOD woman. I work as a wellness coach and I suggest your channel to all my clients. People are realising how bad this is and they want help. You are giving people what they need. Keep doing the God's work!
The question I have is, you talk about people who done this for 20 years, what about some one who has used it for double that to deal with stresses In there life. And is it possible to undo the damage done to the brain for that long.
Its always possible my friend. It will be harder for some than others, but if you are committed it will happen for you. Stress and anxiety is a main reason people get addicted to the screen, you are not alone!
Day 40 👍🏻
Porn is evil
If anyone is new to NoFap and is thinking twice before watching this video, let go and watch this video! You will start becoming a better version of yourself
As the doctor said: it's not about sex (improving), it's about your brain. So True..
God bless you mam, love and appreciation from Ontario,Canada.
I am "same sex attracted "
I am living chaste as the Church encourages. Working on my porn addiction is part of my recovery loop. Is there anything else that can could suggest for continued recovery?
What a great mom
Good video thank you very much. Time to get back to it
Nice, rooting for you!
It's been 2 months ,I didn't relapsed yet,I feel my energy is high but I didn't get motivation do my academic studies,i feel lethargic, I do my all daily chores nonetheless ,I don't wish to do my exams studies and my academic studies,when these energies get settled?
That's great man, please keep it up :) I'd say that you will start to regulate normally after you start to REPLACE the habit with something else that is really exciting to you. If school/work is not that interesting, then naturally it's not going to bring you much joy. So I'd recommend finding a single project to work on that makes you WANT to get up in the morning. We all have something...
@@BenUyama man you can't relate to us coz you didn't suffer from this, there's much 'bout nofap you didn't know,it's been 2 months nd I didn't see those stuff but what 'bout my academic studies,I won't able to do read and write from the day I came into this so it's my huge request to find some solutions for this problem coz my exam are coming and if i won't studies hard then I'll be not able to bring good marks
Today marks 2 weeks. 💯👏🏾🙏🏾
You got this!!!
I can see this being true but can Porn really be stopped because it has been around for centuries and the only difference is technology. Do we want to go back to the Elizabethan era when Porn was illegal and have it go underground becoming more dangerous and unhealthy.
Eliminating porn legally speaking is not the solution, but rather focusing on educating about the harms and letting people decide on their own. That is infinitely more effective in actually helping people than shock treatment or outlawing it.
@@BenUyama Absolutely correct, Ben. I like this take and I think Dr. Leigh's work is doing wonders for people that are struggling with this.
I’m at three years, four months, and fifteen days without ejaculating.
How do you feel??
@@ayushshukla3040 almost like a supernova i think ))))
No way .not come all that time..eh ?
No your body has an automatic response to periodically jizz a bit
Absolute legend. Don’t quick man!!
Please help me, I need help I want to get out of this, I am not able to quit, my brain is not the same anymore. Please please please help

Nice, that's awesome. Keep it up! You don't need to go back to it, even though the little monster in your brain will try to convince you otherwise.
Thank you doctor
Hi Dr i have a Question for U .
I stop porn many months ago !
I stop masturbation 5 weeks ago .
And still , i have sometimes those nights where i sleep like 6 hours and wake up extremely tired and depressed. When i feel like that it takes like 3 days do go , i guess my brain is fucked ? Well i dont do drugs but sometimes i drink alcohol when the pain is too high i cant live with it , cam u help me . Is it normal ? Thank u and god bless u
Hi Brandon, you're not fucked my friend! Dr. Leigh and I have both seen cases where people have healed and came back from a heavy addiction. We all have to start somewhere, and I think you should celebrate your progress and keep your energy levels up and motivation going. I think it's important to realize that your dependence on porn/alcohol is not definite. Meaning, you don't NEED porn. But rather, your brain has found that porn/drinking is the fastest way to take you out of stress (temporarily). But the more you do that, the more your brain is "needing" you to feed it. This is exactly why people develop addictions over a period of time, and also why people tend to get more irritable and stressed over time. Because of that dependency. But it's a false dependency.
@@BenUyama thank you 😇🙏🙏🙏
Golden...
Hey Dr howcome you never mention Meditation or Journaling for ways to cope?
Good job Dr
The Rosary and Eucharistic Adoration are
great benefits to me.
I posted on here about 3 days ago. The post appeared then disappeared?
Doc, evry time i get weak, i hear your voice in my head saying control your brain or it will control you.😳
That's awesome.
