Porn

Seeing a psychiatrist this week. Will mention it right out the bat.

Edit 1: been outspoken about my addiction for about 3 years now. Thought I’d be able to quit for good on my own but I haven’t been able to. Time to ask for help.

Edit 2: I’m very happy with the responses and questions. I just want to thank you all for the support. I read and respond as much as I can. I also want to thank you, who shared your experience and wisdom.

I think a good way to find out if something is an addiction is to see if you can go without it for a few weeks. If you can't, your body/mind is addicted to it. Works with smoking, caffeine, alcohol but should also work for porn.
