Porn Withdrawal Symptoms Timeline

Knowing what’s coming makes it survivable. This timeline combines clinical data with QuitPorn user logs.

Week 1: Shock

Symptoms: headaches, insomnia, irritability. Relief: hydration, magnesium, QuitPorn urge logging every 6 hours.

Weeks 2-3: Flatline

Symptoms: low libido, depression. Relief: strength training + community chat.

Weeks 4-6: Rebuilding

Symptoms: random cravings, vivid dreams. Relief: partner check-ins, Sleep Lock automation at 10 p.m.

Weeks 7-12: Stability

Symptoms: occasional urges. Relief: mission goals, QuitPorn rewards (free months, badges).

Every symptom ends faster when blockers, accountability, and coaching are already in place. That’s why QuitPorn was built.
