>>12706922This anon is right. You don‘t get out of an addiction by trying to be disciplined whilst the situation surrounding you stays the same. The situation being how it is is what got you into the addiction in the first place. Instead of focusing on stopping what you don‘t want in your life, focus on giving your time and energy to things you want more of in your life and as those areas grow, they slowly but surely make the unwanted coping unnecessary. If it‘s true and your friends were able to turn their life around then it‘s not because they have beaten their porn addiction. Their addiction became obsolete because their life improved. That often happens in somewhat healthy people when they get away from being under the control of their parenta and can becme more self governed. They heal. And that in turn leads to them being able to lead functional relationships. Which makes them even more sane and will make addiction to unhealthy coping unnecessary. You haven‘t been so lucky. But you can still get there.
