[Story] I’m quitting 🌽 addiction

Hey guys I've been feeling depressed and a lack of motivation. I start to browse porn for coping when I'm bored, but I actually don't even feel aroused. This falls into a vicious cycle and now I completely lose control and end up masturbating

It's ironic though that porn becomes my drive. I want to quit so desperately because I feel so ashamed about it. I feel like a sucker. I want to be the better version of myself. I'm starting by finding healthier ways to deal with boredom, hitting the gym, picking up hobbies I've been putting off, and actually connecting with people instead of isolating. When urges hit, I'm trying to just wait them out or do something physical to redirect that energy. Taking it one day at a time. I want to build real confidence and motivation instead of relying on this cycle

I'm taking it one day at a time, and honestly, I'm already noticing small changes. I feel present, less brain-foggy. My motivation is slowly coming back. It's not perfect, but I'm building real confidence instead of relying on this cycle. If you're struggling with this too, know that it gets easier
