Hello, first post here and I want to tell you about my addiction and if you could answer me or give me your opinion it would help me enormously.
let's start with the beginning, i'll say it briefly
so since i was 9 years old i became addicted to pornography and i'm not proud of it at all
i discovered that pornography was affecting me around the age of 12-13, around when i entered puberty and could masturbate, once i saw that it was affecting me, logically i tried to quit
i'm now 16 almost 17, since then and until now i've managed to somehow reduce it, i.e. i managed to go for 1-3 months without watching it at all many times (the most was 6-8 months about 2 times)
but the real problem is that for about 4 months i can't go more than 5-7 days without watching it, i know it's a real problem that needs to be solved but i feel like i can't
i've been going to the gym for about 7 months so i would have a natural source of dopamine
any thoughts? is it a puberty thing? or is it just a period of addiction and will I be fine in the future?
