I want to do better

Hello, all. I've always had a difficult time asking for help. It doesn't matter what's going wrong, I always try and solve it myself first. Porn is something I first came in contact with when I was 11. It began to take over my life when I was 16. Around the time of high school graduation I was facing a lot of personal problems that ultimately led to me dropping out of college. Porn became my drug of choice to numb out the pain and loneliness I felt. It was good because I could just use it instead of relying on people. I was able to turn my life around for a wild and curb my reliance on pornography. I'm 25 now. I've recently gone back to college, and with the stress ramping up I realized I haven't overcome my porn addiction. I just didn't have a reason to medicate my problems away. I really view porn as a drug. I believe if it wasn't porn I'd be drinking alcohol or using something else. But those things cost money, and porn is free and instantly accessible anywhere.

I hope I can help myself and help others here. God bless.​
