Does anyone feel more mentally powerful?

I don't know if it's quitting Facebook or quitting fapping, but I feel like more capable when it comes to mind.

For instance, whenever my brother asks me where something is around the house, I can remember exactly where I last saw it, even if it was hours, or a day ago! My memory has become more clear, my dreams are more vivid, and I feel like I can accomplish more. Is this just me fooling myself?

Also, I shake uncontrollably sometimes. That's not a plus, but does anyone get the shakes?

No shakes but I can relate to feeling more mentally powerful.

I used to get shakes, sign of withdrawal, disappeared eventually. Also my memory got much better.

Cool! I'm glad I know they'll go away. Also awesome that you relate to me with the memory thing. Feels great.

I don't know about memory but I do know my focus has greatly improved which in turn has helped me become more outgoing. My temper is a lot shorter too, but not in a bad way it's people I needed to tell to fuck off for a long time and was too passive to do it.

Oh my gosh! I need to tell a few people to fuck off. Maybe I've been so content with myself that I haven't tried to change the things that have really been bugging me. Maybe it's to direct sexual frustration into building a better life.

Thanks for the insight!
