I have tried to break my porn addiction, but even going for a five-mile run doesn\u2019t curb my cravings.<\/p>\n
Knowing I can\u2019t get through a single day without watching other people having sex makes me hate myself.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m 28 and I\u2019ve been watching porn for about ten years. At first it was fun, but then I found myself needing to watch it more and more.<\/p>\n
If I don\u2019t watch, I can\u2019t stop thinking about it until I do. It\u2019s like an itch that needs to be scratched.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t have a relationship because a real woman doesn\u2019t turn me on any more.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve tried everything \u2013 cold showers, exercising, turning off my wifi. But my self-control never lasts more than hours.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I was so angry with myself that I smashed my phone so I couldn\u2019t watch.<\/p>\n
I feel so ashamed of myself and I could never tell anyone.<\/p>\n
Please help me stop.<\/p>\n
