I need help

First, Kamari, you are in this app, and coming back—that alone is cause for great credit! Now, it might help to know that I had to realize that most of my porn/fap was done as coping mechanism for huge amounts of stress and anxiety in recent years…dealing with shyness and abuse in earlier years (sexual assault and rape), and mental health (depression, anxiety all along, and PTSD after going through some things in the submarine navy. So, I realized I was using porn/fap for the DOPAMINE release. But in using this app “Talk to Melius” AI therapy tool, I was reminded of many other ways to get dopamine: Exercise, getting out in sunshine, being social (with good people that won’t drag you into bad things), helping others, being creative, fixing things, making things look better (including yourself), getting enough quality sleep, music, meditation, mindfulness, a cup of coffee, a cold shower, standing, reducing inflammation (avoid the 4 worst inflammatories in our diets: sugar, GMO grains, pasteurized dairy, seed oils(vegetable, canola, peanut, corn; instead use olive, avocado, coconut), and otherwise eat a healthy diet (dark chocolate, fresh fruit & veggies are tasty and great and give an immediate dopamine release!) with focus on lots of healthy water and little sugared drinks.

Add new habits like sports, going to the gym, videos games, doing music… Literally anything so your brain gets stimulated by something other than that shit.

honestly it just comes down to why you’re doing this. get crystal clear on it. and then choose not to do it. unfortunately there isn’t a trick or hack to stop having urges. my longest streak was 80 days and i still got urges. you just gotta get good at dealing with them and accepting that they’re apart of the process. You got this bro just stay strong!
