New Fapstronaut here -- I want to find ways to manage my anxiety and difficulties in life besides using porn. I know it has negative impacts on my life - the biggest for me is just the sheer amount of time spent masturbating and looking at porn. If I use porn for one hour every day, that is 365 hours - or about 15 days - per year. I want to reclaim that time so I can be the productive worker I used to be.
It seems impossible to go without porn. I spend a lot of time alone in my bedroom due to working from home, and it helps me get to sleep at night. I am not really sure where to start. Should I focus on abstaining/tracking how many days I can go without porn or is it more about the underlying issues of me needing a better way to cope? I find that I also use video games and watching TV as ways to cope with stress, so even if I don't use porn I feel like I'll just use those as a recourse.
