I’m 15 and Ive been trying to stop watching porn but it’s hard. I’ll do good for about 3 days and then it feels like it consumes me and the feeling will be there until I do something. I found God and I thank him so much for everything and I want to better myself for him and my girlfriend because both of them deserve better from me and I want to do better for myself and I want to know the feeling of overcoming and addiction. And I have all possible sites that I can reach porn blocked off on my phone, does anyone have any more advice to help?
You will overcome it, just stay in touch with what you feel after relapsing, and how you felt/ feel when u stay away from it. This is not a rational but an emotional battle. Any negative feeling (guilt, anxiety, low self esteem) can lead to relapse. Try to share your feelings with someone trustable. Appreciate yourself for every day / hour of sobriety (so the voice in the head doesn't belittle your efforts). The efforts will compound and it will be easier after a certain time. And last but not least, purify your eyes and reduce food intake to how much is necessary (reduces the intensity of the urge). Watch Dr. Ks video on how to quit porn in less than 25 minutes.
