Hey I’m 21(M) and have been addicted to porn since I was 15, and I am so scared it’s going to consume my life.

I’ve had way too much reflection time with my addiction, I feel like I’m doing it because it makes me feel good at something, which kinda puts my efforts down in other areas. Nowadays I’ll go like a few weeks without and then a few days of just bad times, and the cycle’s non-stop.

It’s messed up how I see women, It’s messed up what I’m passionate about. And everytime it happens, I come up with some internal monologue that doesn’t get anywhere.

How are people stopping this?!?! When you feel the urge, what do you do in that moment to stop it from happening??
