How to Rewire Your Brain to Quit Porn (RAS & Prefrontal Explained)

Your brain is designed to reinforce what you focus on. In porn recovery, this can either sabotage you or set you free.

The RAS Filter

The Reticular Activating System (RAS) decides what you notice. If it's tuned to sexual cues, you'll see triggers everywhere.

The Prefrontal Comeback

The prefrontal cortex is where choice and focus live. Strengthening it gives you back control over urges.

How to Rewire

• Practice "urge surfing" instead of suppression
• Daily meditation to increase prefrontal activity
• Consciously choose what you feed your attention

When your RAS filters differently and your prefrontal is stronger, recovery feels natural—not forced.
