How did you quit? I just can't seem to do it for long :(

  I'm struggling with it. I guess that realizing that it is a problem helps. Remember, porn is not the problem, abuse of it is. Its to the point that I can't sleep well without it. That's bad. What I'm doing, right now, is to create a simple chart of the days that I venture to the "dark side". So when I do go, I know in the back of my mind that I will have to write this stuff down. Another step is, when you find yourself going down that rabbit hole, to do you best to stop it immediately. Your mind is very clever at making excuses like "You deserve to see this. Its just this one time. Promise." For me, what I ended up having to do is to get out of the room of the device and let myself relax. Its getting warmer out. So I'll probably take a walk around the block if I notice the habit returning. I want to get rid of it so badly. Support groups are out there either virtually or in person. Perhaps that's another way to go about it. Good luck!

  I tried a lot of things. Ultimately admitting it was an addiction and seeking professional treatment. This program was very powerful for me and is ultimately what got me clean. https://www.themindfulhabit.com/ https://www.themindfulhabit.com/

  Every time you feel like looking at porn, do 25 push ups.

    Have you been successful with this? I think there is a real need to go much deeper psychologically into figuring out why you are drawn to it, what needs it fulfills and how to fulfill those needs in healthier ways. That plus vigorously pursuing a set of goals.
