Day 16!!

This is probably the longest ive gone without porn in years and im holding fairly strong. The urges are strong these days but im in the mountains right now with very little Internet so that helps alot. I posted it this community on day 8 or so and you guys helped alot to keep me motivated!

Porn and ADHD

So ive been a porn addict for 5 years now and every attempt ive made at quitting has resulted in failure, I tried quitting cold turkey, slowly coming off, trying to cut out social media and all other stimulus but still after week 2 I was always back at it in some capacity.

Last year I also got diagnosed with adhd, which I learned makes its even more difficult to quit addiction because your brain is deprived of dopamine all the time so having a consistent stream makes it impossible to quit.

I feel defeated, it feels impossible to get over this and move on with my life, this feels like a curse that will follow me around forever. I cant get help for this in my society because its considered a big taboo.

Has anyone else gotten over porn addiction with adhd? Looking for advice i guess.

Currently day 8 without fapping and day 3 without porn.
