I realized that I struggle with porn and I want to quit, I just need some help. I relapsed today and I hate myself for it. I want to quit because I know how negatively its effecting me. I just don’t know how to control myself.

Was there a trigger that made you want to do it?
Have you explored any activities to do when you feel the urge or craving?
I usually want to whenever I take a shower. But I can avoid showering otherwise I’ll stink up the entire place. I haven’t thought of doing any actives to avoid it other than drinking, but I’m trying to quit that too. So I don’t really know how to healthily handle my problems.

Every action begins with a thought. At first you have to learn to control your thought stream. Just
try to avoid all kind of sexual thought for 2 days,whenever they comes to your mind pinch yourself hard. you will see the difference. Always take shower on a rush. Stay outside as much as possible. Delete all your collections and block pornography from pc with software and router with NortonDNS or OpenDNS. Things will get better if you try hard. I have done all of them and now I am better than before

It’s hard to kick the habit… But nothing is impossible…! Even the word itself says “I’m - possible” … My advice, remove all triggers, don’t test your will power…
Ok. Absolutely is nothing impossible babt
Suppress the impulses of sex in your mind consciously and start dealing with other things
After a while your brain starts suppress them subconsciously
I’m dealing with the same thing. I’ll just say this, you can do it! Find a support system of people you can call or text at anytime. My brother is my support. Also check out church’s in your area. Religious or not most have support groups for this very thing and I found these helped me a lot too. Stay strong!

Same problem. One week sober.
I recommend you rtribe app. It is a great support
There’s a chemistry in your mind you can activate to counteract what your brain does when it’s seeking pornography. It’s warrior chemistry. The feeling of being ready to fight and protect. When you feel an urge I recommend you try for that. Sometimes it can be as simple as picturing someone you love, or something innocent on danger.
There are always feelings that lead to the thoughts. I’ve learned when I’m feeling apathetic and lonely it’ll usually lead my brain into seeking pornography, so I need to be on my guard then and do things to try and counteract the path.

@Dsalmo, @Q-tip, I recommend checking out SA if you’re not already aware of it. It is working wonders for me and saving my life, one day at a time.

Hey, I may have a solution to avoid spontaneous porn, that is what I did. However, there is sadly always some way around it example, use mobile network ect… You could prob get a app to disable whatever website you want.
Anyways, back to my idea. (require a bit knowledgeable in data). Sign into your router modem and switch on parenting mode, or restricted webstes. Depends onto your router model, but should be easy to find.
Add every damn porn sites you know about and block it, next time you got the craving and look up the porn site you will be blocked, and you need to unblock it in your router. Which take time and effort, you probably gonna give up and just masturbate to your minds 
but works for me tho. You avoid porn and gotta do the thinking to steam off.
Better idea are to get someone else to block the websites, and add a PW you don’t know about to access the router.
