I strongly believe that  we suffer because we are unaware of who we are, so first step would be to become more aware of it, answer to following questions will serve as great tool to overcome your addiction,1) when do you watch porn? what is your mood like just before you start watching it?2) are there any specific triggers after which you feel like watching porn?3) what time do you watch porn? and where do you watch porn?4) what are your reasons to watch porn?AVOID TRIGGERS,Once you figure what all events, people, emotions leads you to watching porn, try to avoid all of theseDo understand that stress, fear, boredom cannot be dealt with the help of watching porn, it might just give  you temporary comfort, but is not useful for long term. develop healthy ways of coping with these uncomfortable emotions.Develop mindset for failure, its not easy to make any change, and you might fail at it multiple times, which is absolutely normal in the process.These are few of things which you can start reflecting upon, for more work on the same, i would highly suggest you to consider therapy.Hope this helps,write back to us so we can help you step by step with this
