Porn addiction has become a well known addiction over recent years, especially with how easy it is to now access porn and how much more socially acceptable it has become. Below are some ways to help yourself deal with your porn addiction and reach recovery.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    It may be embarrassing, but you really help yourself get over your addiction by seeing a specialist. There are also groups that meet to support each other through the process.

  2. Step 2

    It's important to make your access to porn more difficult. You can help by getting rid of all pornographic magazines and movies. You can also block risque movie channels, and set it up so that your computers will block access to pornographic websites.

  3. Step 3

    If you don't trust yourself with these basic blocks, you could set up a password that you know you'll never remember. Chances are you won't be willing to deal with a huge hassle to figure out how to get past it.

  4. Step 4

    Trying to understand your addiction will help you deal with it and make lifestyle changes. Under Resources I have listed a few popular books that deal with porn addiction.

  5. Step 5

    If you think your porn addiction was caused by something in your life, you should try and deal with it. Seeing a psychologist may be in your best interest. Many psychologists have experience with porn addictions, you can even look online to find a psychologist that has experience with it.
