How to fight something u like?
I’m addicted to porn and I genuinely hate it. How do I fight this?
I’ve been struggling with porn addiction for a while. I genuinely hate the fact that I keep going back to it, but I still get attracted to sexual content sooner or later and end up watching it again.
The worst part is the guilt afterward. I feel like I’m stuck in the same cycle: urge → watch → regret → decide to quit → eventually get triggered again.
I don’t want this to control me anymore. I want to actually break the habit, not just stop for a few days and relapse.
For anyone who has successfully overcome problematic porn use: what actually helped you? How did you deal with the urges and triggers when they came back?
I’m genuinely looking for practical advice, not judgment.
