    To my experience, it's a challenge for your whole life. If you are a type of person who can become addicted, then this characeristic of yours will stay with you for your whole life.

    However, you can learn to manage yourself and improve yourself. Begin with small goals. Try to be abstinent for 1 day. Then 3 days. Then 7 days. 2 weeks. 1 month. and so on.

    Watch yourself and learn when you have the desire to watch porn. You will improve and you will eventually learn to manage yourself better, and your whole thinking will change.

    IT will take you as long as it takes. Some will be "cured" some will never stop hearing the call. There is no set timer for this, it is what it is. Just take it one day at a time, or even one moment at a time. That is all you can do. Just don't set unrealistic goals for yourself, like you are starting to do without even knowing it.
    If you set an end date and say "I will be free of this in 2 years" and then 2 years roll by and you are still fighting, it might make you quit on yourself and see yourself as a failure. So don 't even give that a chance to start.

    I dont know how long man, i dont think anybody knows for sure. I agree with SnowWhite. We have to take responsability and became aware of what happens inside of us. Learn what the urges are and how to diverge them. Be aware that the desire for porn is a lie of your brain craving for a substance. Be aware of that and learn to manage it, learn what it is. When urges attack they blind us with the promise of something good, but if you can step outside and walk a few minutes you come back to your senses little by little, and then you realise what a lie it is. Then you reafirm your determination to live fully your life and come out of the hell of the degradation of porn and masturbation. Only if we reach a deep self understantind of that wounded part of our minds we will be able to heal it. 17 days in for me today, on the road to reach my destiny of a great life.

    Man, could be 5 years could be 1 minute. The second your mind understands that you don’t care about porn. It won’t be addicted. Could literally be this split second right now
