Addicted to porn

I struggle with pornography and I believe it has turned into an addicton, causing me to not make real relationships with women. If anyone has any advice message me!

Build structure into your life, keeping you focused and engaged outside the home on something greater than yourself. Work, volunteer, teach or help others, join a cause, pick up a skill or study music. Go back to school. Keep active, work with your hands or a hobby. Become a gym rat even.
Focus on forming working relationships and connections there, with senior peers, colleagues, and roll models who challenge you, and hold themselves...and you..to a higher standard.

Be strict with yourself and your triggers. Stay away from magazine racks/calendar shops, late night infomercials. Be ruthless in your tv programming and movies. Switch from provocative commercials. Have friends/fam password your browser settings to family safe. Including cable adult pay per view areas. Cancel problem magazine/movie subscriptions. Keep busy---an idle mind is the devil's... Run or work out instead of thinking about it.

It might take time, distance, and sometimes therapy. But soon sexual objectification is traded for mutual respect and value. Sex becomes a gift you'll share to express, and deepen, your loving connection.
