I'm done with this.

I've been addicted to porn for 8 years. Currently I'm 20 years old, but it feels that it wasn't too long ago that I stumbled on this material at the ripe age of 12.

My parents were constantly fighting, and I lived under an abusive household during that period. Porn felt like an escape from the mayhem that was my childhood.

Thinking about this now, an hour after I PMO'd for the who knows how many times I've done it, I want to quit once again. The thing is, I've never been beyond 1 week of no porn. I have many many many failed attempts under my belt already. I never did it consistently for too long out of shame. I moreso did it once or twice a day and stopped for 2-3 days then went running back to it when the cravings hit or I was bored.

I don't know, but I've been reading many of your posts here and I thought being transparent about this with someone (even people on the internet) might help me overcome it somehow. It could be another failed attempt though.
