Don’t need it - staying locked in

I’m still at the beginning of my journey quitting porn, but already I’m starting to notice some real changes. The biggest shift so far is that I feel more like myself again—more like a human being, not some empty shell just chasing a dopamine hit and feeling gross afterward. That feeling of being disconnected from who I really am… I don’t ever want to go back to that. The truth is, I’ve always had a girlfriend in my life. So being single now—at the same time I’m trying to break this habit—is a challenge. It’s lonely sometimes, and part of me misses the connection and affection. But I think deep down, this season of singleness might be exactly what I need. It’s forcing me to face myself, to rewire my brain, and rebuild from the ground up. I know this will pay off when I do meet the right person—because I’ll be healthier, clearer, and more present than I ever was before. I want to be able to experience intimacy without all the baggage that porn brings into it. I want to stop craving it, stop thinking about it. I want to feel free. If anyone has advice, routines, or real insights on how this gets easier, please share. I’m committed, I want to keep the momentum going, and I appreciate any support.
