Porn addiction withdrawal is a difficult process characterized by emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms as the brain adjusts to decreased dopamine stimulation. Common side effects include anxiety, despair, cravings, and irritability. Mindfulness, exercise, journaling, and support systems are examples of coping mechanisms used in recovery to promote healing and long-term growth.
