I wanna hear personal experiences

To anyone reading this i want you to really focus and feel what im about to tell you. Im 19 years old and i have a really bad addiction to porn and masturbation and i want to spread awareness as much as i could so others dont fall into this disgusting fucking loop. If your somewhere between the ages of 15-20 please please please i beg you do not fall into this fucking trap of watching pornography it is literally one of the worst things you can do to yourself as a guy and it can ruin you in so many dangerous ways and it can affect you so fucking bad in all aspect of your life (yes literally all). You see heres the thing with porn the more you watch it and deeper you go into it and the more fantasies you see, it makes it harder to stop in the future because it hooks the fuck out of your brain and it spreads the fuck out of your imagination and you might even develop weird fetishes and kinks and just overall abnormal stuff which will also result to getting more and more addicted to masturbation which if done excessively can lead to so many probelms within your energy, focus, stamina when working out, and just feel overall weak and fragile and one of the worst things it has done to me is my tolerance in my work ethic, i used to be able to study for hours and hours on end now i can barely focus on a simple task for 30 minutes because these habits hijacked the fuck out of my reward system, everything feels so boring and long to do which is SO BAD FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS GOALS AND IS TRYING TO MAKE A CAREER FOR THESMELVES and dont get me started on how it affected me socially,i noticed how much worse ive gotten when talking to girls or socializing in general i get nervous so easily and words became so much harder to come out and i became so fucking quiet in social settings. As weird as this might sound i feel it has also made people treat me worse and made me more unlucky which might not make sense but i swear it really fucking did that. Look if you’ve gotten till here which i hope you did STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THIS SHIT AND DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE THAT NORMALIZES WATCHING IT.

Hello everyone, I'm a 19-year-old guy, and I've been struggling to quit porn and masturbation for so long, and I have quite literally tried everything to stop. No matter how many motivational videos I've watched or how many times I've prayed and promised to God that I will leave these disgusting habits, I find myself doing them again and again.

This addiction has quite literally ruined me in all parts and aspects of my life, whether it's physically, mentally, academically, or socially—you name it, this fucking addiction has affected it terribly and ruined me. And what's even crazy is that the longest I've gone without these habits was one week, and I kid you not, from just one week, I felt amazing, and I genuinely saw improvements in my life. But still, even after seeing improvements, I go back and do these habits compulsively.

Someone please help me, I'm struggling, and I want to stop this because it has ruined the absolute fuck out of my potential.
