I have been addicted to porn since I was 13. I’m 20 years old now and every single day for the past 7 years I have been beating my meat. It’s ruined my life I feel like. My self confidence and self esteem is destroyed. I always feel like shit it’s almost like it has destroyed my ambition to get out of the house when I’m not at work. Like all I do is lay in my dark room and watch instagram reels all day. I feel like porn has stolen much of my life from me for the past 7 years. I have never have had a girlfriend before and I have no friends really. So what do I do to cope with my loneliness, Boredom and depression? I watch porn. It’s destroying my life and I need to do something about it so I can finally enjoy my life again and get closer to god. Maybe some of you are in a similar boat and I hope and pray that we’ll get through this.

You need to get rid of all social media man you won’t go very far if you don’t. This is coming from someone who used to have and and could never get past like 1-5 days and now after deleting them all I’m on day 31. BUT you the only way to stop something is to replace it if you don’t replace the Instagram wheels if you replace the porn, you’ll never actually quit yell at falling right back in cause you didn’t replace it. This goes through everything to find a hobby find something you do for me personally I work outI like to just go on walks in public places instead of DoorDash, my food or doing order pick up I would just go in the store instead and little things like this throughout the day will make you more productive and keep you busy.

Bro my story is pretty much the same word for word. I’m 21 now and it scares the shit out of me that the next 10 years could just fly by with this addiction destroying my life.

same boat as well! 20 y/o and started when I was 15. I totally understanding the feeling of getting your confidence destroyed and feeling depressed over how everything is falling apart because of this one addiction. But for you to download this app and wanting to have a change shows your awareness and courage. That alone is already the 1st step. You're on the right path and its going to be a tough one but I believe you got this. We're all in this together. 🫂

Same boat; 20 YO, started at 13 was a day to day addict for years now am dwindled to every 4-7 days but still chained. I remember the first time I found it, biggest Dopamine high ever, never been the same since. The problem is discipline, we have solution but can’t beat the mind game. What i’ve ascertained is that a lot of people have gotten over this have spoken to someone about it in their day to day life, someone important to them. Once you have someone that knows your issue and keeps you in check and get past that hill you’ve won the game. Thats my 2 cents.

You’ll get to a breaking point eventually. You’ll be so sick of failing over and over again. You’ll end up finally deciding you’ve had enough. If you actually want it, nothing will get in your way. God bless you.
