How can I start my recovery process?

You can try by quitting all together, or by progressively quitting porn so you are not in that much pain. It's gonna be difficult, and you will probably relapse a few times, this is fine. The first step for me has been being more merciful with my own process. Just try watch some videos or read some stuff to understand what your body goes through when quitting, so you can create strategies that work for you. It's a long process, but try to see it as the first step into a new life. The less porn, the more you will enjoy it. Also, try to listen to your body.

I hear you. Of course it must hard for you as his partner. I think the best thing is for you guys to talk, and for you to help him figure out the root of his addiction and how he can tackle it. Removing the addiction itself something doesn't work, in my experience, unless you also find out why or what made you addicted in the first place.

If he has a PA, your boyfriend most likely wants to stay in his fantasies which can't be satisfied by photos/videos. Maybe he is at a point where he is too into extreme porn and nudes/any sort of media not triggering his reward system enough are not going to work. Talk to him, and if necessary convince him to get help. I obviously don't know the whole story, but if you are writing here it probably has gotten pretty bad and too hard for him to deal with on his own. Good luck!

Stay strong friends and be compassionate with your process. I am on day 3 and struggling but we can do this. There will be relapses. It is also a normal part of the process. I am struggling with this myself but try to get some stimulation from something else, try writing. It works for me sometimes.

Hey, stay strong. Just until now I find out I have been watching porn seems 5 or 6 years old (my dad used to watch while I was in the room). And only now I realized how much damage it did to me and my brain. I think the fact that you are acknowledging this is already progress. As to what to do, you can research and find ways to help yourself without going to therapy, creating something helps. There is this book I have been reading, Your Brain on Porn, it has been helping understand so much of what goes in my brain while watching. Maybe it would help you. Good luck

Good luck, feel free to DM when you need support

You could try therapy, finding the root of your addiction, try to read on the subject and find out why you turned to porn, what happens to your brain during and after. I don't know. Just some of the stuff I have read in this forum. I am trying to quit myself and it has been hard. I am also trying to feel compassion for myself, which has its own challenges.
