>>20559992Ok so now for some actual advice and what worked for me.
1. Delete your porn. All of it. I recognize that you will probably be incapable of doing it when you read this. I had an emotional attachment to my collection. "I'll never be able to find all my favorite stuff again." You will need to seize a moment of clarity to actually achieve this. For me it was coming out of something like a week long bender. I was so sick of feeling like a brain rotted zombie. I wanted to do anything else but this. I had total clarity of purpose. "I need to stop using this shit." I took that brief window of total clear-headedness and used it to destroy my collection. I was freaking out the next day. "Oh god what have I done, I need to start rebuilding the collection." Your addict brain will tell you not to do it, that you can't live without it, but I promise you that yes you can, and you will thank yourself in the long run. It's going to be difficult, but it will help.
2. I would strongly encourage you to enter therapy specifically for this issue, and join a support group. There is Porn Addicts Anonymous, and these people will seriously try to help you. A professional therapist can also help you try to get to some of the underlying issues as well, which brings me to
3. Porn addiction, like any addiction, is filling some kind of void in your life. I don't know you so I don't know what underlying issue you are self medicating with porn, but generally with all addictions the substance or in this case porn use is running cover for some other problem in your life. Maybe you're lonely. Maybe you didn't achieve the success you wanted. Maybe you don't feel attractive or desirable. It could be anything, but working to identify this and fix the REAL problem underneath will do wonders for quitting porn.
4. One thing that helped me immensely was meditation. Specifically, I used the hemi-sync program (pic related, that's a public google drive link)
