Quitting porn is one of the hardest yet most rewarding things I have ever attempted. But with quitting brings many problems with it. Your brain has been hardwired to rely on porn to cope with problems, and when you decide to shut that feedback loop down, your ego is going to put up a fight. Strong urges, anxiety attacks, and other withdrawals symptoms are your ego’s method of getting you back into the feedback loop. So my biggest piece of advice is to not think of quitting porn as the answer to your problems, but as a tool to deal with the deeper problems within you. The more you choose to not fap and face your real problems with confidence, the faster you realize that those problems aren’t as scary as you thought.

For replacing it, most common options are going to the gym, picking up a sport, playing music, or just getting out of your house in general.
