Tips
Here are some tips/steps on how to beat porn addition.
- Do not do this alone. This is not a fight your win by yourself. Find someone you trust and start talking to them about your struggles - ask for help.
- Do not give up. It's tempting to just give up, and you might feel like you'll never get over it, but it is possible so keep going.
- Remove access. Get rid of as many avenues to porn as you can. This might mean disabling the web browser on your phone, setting up filters, or getting rid of your phone all together. This has limits, but does help.
- Avoid situations where you are tempted or limit your time spent in them (a timer can help with this).
- Monitor access. If you can't remove access, monitor it. That's where the screenshot software or other monitoring software comes in. Since it's the 21st century, at some point, you probably will need access the internet. Remember, this is only one brick in your wall against the addiction, but it's still important.
- Be patient with yourself. This isn't an addiction that goes away overnight. It will take longer than you hope and some of that is because you won't fight it perfectly. Be patient and keep going.
Each of these things is one line of defense. Combined, they give you a much better chance of resisting than any one individually.
