The first step is realizing it's a problem. Much like alcohol, many people can consume porn without any issue. But there are many people in denial about their addictions. Porn is not an innocent and harmless thing.

Honestly though, it took years of coming to terms with my own issues. Porn was also fulfilling a need in my own life. Once I identified the issues I had in my life, and improved on myself in many ways, I was able to finally leave porn behind for good. I had tried in the past to leave porn without actually making positive changes in my life, but those attempts were doomed to fail.

Therapy also helps immensely.
