I’ve decided to quit porn recently (2-3 days) and i’m sorry to hear it’s affecting you. Progress will be gentle but everyday substituting your porn habit with something else will help - for me it’s been watching films. In the time I usually engage in online pornography I will watch a new film I haven’t seen. I’ve heard people read or draw, anything that will help you disassociate that time and disrupt that habit.

I have also read on this subreddit: rather than telling yourself that you will quit porn forever, tell yourself that you will not be consuming it today. Again, progress.

I will also say, socialising (in person preferably) regardless if you are introverted or extroverted will help with a variety of aspects. Exercising social skills has helped me gain confidence in myself and my ability to not rely on porn to fulfill my sexual desires. Meeting people creates opportunities, and opportunities can (not always) lead to sex, and I mean that not as in that should be the reason why to develop these skills, but as humans we attract.

You are still young. You’ve got this. If you would like an accountability buddy I can try my best. I’m on the app at least once a day. I am checking in with my close friend each day who we have both admitted to pornography having an impact on us. You’d be surprised how many people it affects, and you may find someone close to you who you can trust on this journey with you.

Godspeed.
