And if you'll allow me, I'll tell you a little about my story. I'm a 20-year-old man. and I started watching porn at 13. I discovered it through some friends in high school, at first, I only watched it out of curiosity and because I didn't know it was wrong, but then over time it became an addiction in me, my parents were never direct with me about this issue so I wasn't really sure if it was wrong, what I was doing was fine, but there was a time when I stopped doing it because it no longer caught my attention, then at 14, I watched it again because I moved to a new city and it was the only way I could get affection, so at 14 was when I discovered jerking off and I did that for a long time until I turned 17, at that moment I was able to truly get to know who God was and I decided to stop doing it and consuming those types of videos and it was like that for quite some time, but then I moved to a new city again and everything went back to how it was before, that was a year ago and so far this year, I've only been clean for a month, but I really want to improve and I want to quit completely, it's the first time that I express myself freely about this topic and I hope to have the help of all of you in this also I think it is necessary that I have friends so that they can help me get out of this, and I don't know if any of you would like

Hey Gabriel, first of all it takes courage opening up about something like this and seeking help. So I commend you for that. Also, it sounds like your porn habits increase when there are new stressors in your life (new city). It’s good to recognize what kinds of things trigger us so we can see the pitfalls we create in our own minds. Find an alternative way to deal with stress BEFORE temptation comes. So when you feel the urge you can default to a more constructive activity.
