struggling with being too introverted for many years

Get religious about the gym. Take exercise classes with other people. They are more fun, you get a better work out, and you meet new people. Go to yoga for the same reason. Play volleyball. Find a church. Grab a friend and go bowling. See a therapist. Make sure he’s male. Change careers to something more satisfying. There are no silver bullets. You either aggressively get after your life or you don’t. The porn won’t drop away until you are living the life that you really want. And to get there you are going to have to confront and work through lots of pain.

 

Some of the wisest advice I've found on these forums is the concept of escapism. You likely PMO because you want to escape your current life, in some form or fashion. So create a life you don't want to escape from. That may mean confronting your introversion head on (I am a hypocrite, so do as I say not as I do). But the more you put effort into creating a life you want to live, the less power PMO will have in your life. It helped me get to about 13 days (I'm a half pint in these waters). May be a bunch of malarky, but it seems to have some merit in my eyes...
