no shame here friend.. use the magnifying glass up top and type in porn to find existing PMO related threads where you will find others dealing with this addiction. Hopefully you will find good supportive tips to help you on your journey.

Don’t worry dude. I’m with you. I am a porn/sex addict going on 11 months clean. It’s hard especially since sex is sold everywhere in every environment, from movies, to internet, to books. It takes a lot but we’re all here for you, it takes a lot of work to stop taking sips of dopamine throughout the day and to fight the urge to look at what’s at your fingertips. But stay strong, we’re all with you throughout any ups and downs.

have u tried googling exactly that?
there’s also SLA (sex/love anonymous)
counseling…
therapy.
working the 12 steps for your addiction to porn just like you would for heroin or meth
I didn’t think about that
You’re not alone. I too have an addiction to porn/sex. In the past I would just try to quit cold turkey but would often relapse a few days to a week later when stress would build up or loneliness would take over. This time around im combating my addiction by actively seeking a therapist to work with on addressing issues in my life that are the main triggers of my addictive behaviors. Maybe if it sounds like an idea, you could try and take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your use? It is a good starting point to finding help in recovering.

Its a bitch. Having access to it 24/7 with your phone makes it so much harder. Its not like back in the day when you had to go out and buy a magazine or a video. Its almost like a drug addict always having that substance in their pocket and trying not to reach for it. Definitely one of the tougher addictions to kick imo.

Yes I’m currently 6 weeks sober from porn, masterbation, and sex chats. I’m struggling today to remain sober. I’m struggling with intense physical arousal and urges today and definitely feel like it will be a miracle if i stay sober today. Definitely feel like I’m in full withdrawal right now and its exhausting and frustrating
