In need of support
I, 19M and gay, have been struggling with the overuse of porn since the beginnings of puberty. I’ve done things I am ashamed of. It’s only been half a week since I’ve last released, but I’ve moved places, and I genuinely think that the new scenery could help me escape this vice. But I don’t know if I truly want to. The pleasure and boredom’s relief was nice, but I’ve been down the rabbit hole of becoming desensitized and finding worse and worse genres, and I don’t want to go back to that. I used to stay up for hours, cut into my responsibilities, and prioritize it over other things. I think that the only way to achieve a healthy balance is to quit, and I desperately need help. I need coaching and support, whatever tips you can offer. Even the simplest personal stories. I’ll try to be as honest and open as possible about my experience and thoughts. But I think it’s best if I try to stop myself as early as possible in my life. I’ve cut back significantly, but I still feel I depend on it too much, and am still far too desensitized to the material. Please help, and thank you.
