DearAbby92 answered Monday November 9 2009, 4:07 pm: Quitting something is hard, and people do it in different ways. I've read that it takes 2 weeks to break a habit, and then keeping yourself sober is life long.
I suggest starting out by making a list of things that porn ruins in your life. Does it harm your relationships with people? Does it affect your school work, job, free time, family/friend life? The good things in your life can motivate you.
Now list all the things you want to accomplish, and recognize how porn could harm that. Do you have a significant other, or wish you did? A porn addiction can deffinitely harm any relationship.
I sometimes feel that I'm addicted to the internet, but then I'd go on vacation and realize I can be without it. You could try going cold-turkey.
Or you could try weaning yourself off of it, viewing less and less every day or only viewing it every other day, then once a week, etc. Until you are off of it.
You need to do something to do to distract you. Try making mini goals to do or volunteering or joining a class/sport. Something to dedicate yourself too.
Finding a support group could help you. Talking to a minister or therapist could also be of great help.

OR you could go and find one of those "sex addict anonymous" support groups. talk to those guys, I'm sure they can help.
