Tried so many times to quit, but I’m unsure if I really want to quit deep within

I’ve tried quitting porn so many times since being a kid, before both for religious reasons but now’s it’s really taking a hit on my health. I don’t feel happy, I can feel a great weight on my chest. Unable to just be jolly. Sort of feeling depressed but I still relapse multiple times a day. Anyone who has been in the same situation ? Can I quit ?
Same situation as you. It's the cycle of shame, guilt, pleasure, etc. that keeps us stuck. You want change badly, but you're only as powerful as the habits you can control. Start with small steps every single day. Rewiring takes many many incremental steps in my opinion. That includes a lot of relapses and failures in situations like ours where we can't just "stop". Also, stay close to God.
