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.
