Hopeful for the Future

Hi everyone.

Without getting into all the details, I've realized that I really need to quit porn for good. It's been a really destructive force in my life, and I can't even imagine how different everything would be if I had never become quite so addicted.

From what I've read, quitting is probably going to be a not-so-great experience. But, as I'm only 20, I have (hopefully) plenty of life left to live once I am porn-free.

I've been winding down my porn use lately, but am making the commitment to quit now. I am much better about using porn when I get bored, and have stopped bringing my phone into my room when I go to bed. What I still struggle with most is stress: porn has been my #1, go-to stress relief for the past several years. Not that 20 year olds are known to be walking balls of stress, but my summer job has especially been pressing down on me lately.

Any tips on this would be appreciated!
