So, been on the rewire journey for about 2.5 years now. My first year was filled with relapses. 2nd year I only relapsed once which was this past thanksgiving. Now doing good and hard ons are pretty good. Then this week I have been having wet dreams like crazy. 2 nights ago I woke up and from wet dreams and I felt a hollow inside the middle of my brain. Dull pain sensation and I could tell my emotions were vulnerable. Ive read a lot about delta phos b accumulation. Im still making progress 2 years later. I have not relapsed in months now but when I woke up from my dreams the hollow feeling in the middle of my brain was crazy. And behind and above my eyes. Can anybody tell me what is physically happening when this happens? Its happen to me before but this one was strong and it correlated with the wet dreams and morning wood. I know what is happening is a positive sign and the brain is correcting itself, but man 2 years later still happening? What is physically taking place? The the delta dissolving away from the neurons? Are the nuerons growing back from years of abuse? I'm a totally different person that I was 3 er 4 years ago. This has been great. Would love to hear about other peoples brain changes they felt. Your brain and your penis are definitely connected. Wet dreams and morning wood all at the same time this hollow feeling I have in my brain. Its currently getting better but I'd like to hear others experience. 10-12 year porn addict here, on the good path now. Moving towards the light. Curt.
What has been your experience on brain changes during recovery

Good morning Curt
I too have been on a 2 plus year reboot short story is I turn 49 in March and have been addicted to porn for 35 years since finding my old man's playboy and hustler mags than his vhs tapes than my own collection than finally of course internet porn. I wanted to quit for probably 30 years or more and finally stumbled across the info needed a little over 2 years ago. My 1st year was up and down riddles with relapses but a huge learning experience where I gained vast knowledge on the addiction and myself The 2nd year was a little more of the same but with learning how to break the patterns And near the end of the 2nd year I began my current reboot with I am now at day 80 and I have never felt better
As for changes in the brain I dont think I ever felt any physical changes or effects. It has all been mental and emotional I never had pied and I always had fairly reg sex with my wife the last 12 years I do get more morning wood these days and the sex seems to be better than it was before. But my brain has almost gone into overdrive I seem to be way more focused less distracted and way more productive day to day. I even seem to be able to learn new skills ie computer skills a bit of math exc Our home life and small business seems to be more organized also I am looking forward to the next 10 days So not sure what your physical feeling in your brain is perhaps it realizes it is missing something and that is its way of saying so I would monitor it and try and do some reading on the topic and perhaps find something new to pit in its place a hobby or something like that see if that makes some sort of difference
cheers

The only brain change is one in which I can go through my day enjoying other stuff without thinking I need porn.
