I am also a struggling porn addict, but I am slowly gaining traction in life.
16 here.
My friend. When you will quit porn, then all stress, all pain in life, will go away. Trust me on this. I was recently scammed/blackmailed for a sexually-charged convo I had with someone, and word got out about it. I was extremely fearful that I violated laws, but many on TSR assured me that in the worst case scenario it is highly slim, as that would bring upon mutually-assured-destruction, but in the most realistic scenario I will be okay, as the blackmailer has backed off, and has not done anything since (coming to 2 months since that day).
But word got out that I am a porn addict. Someone in school found out my reddit posts and comments, and knew it was me and that I am a porn addict. Although I have been trying to exercise plausible deniability, let's face it, it does not work. Moreover, the search results are still online, and I am in the process of taking them down, by the help of GDPR regulations.
I was saddened for two months. Powerless. Utterly powerless. Lost all the happiness in life. Many cancelled me.
But I must rise. If people diss me for my porn addiction, I cannot help it. It is there. Yes, I was a goddamn porn addict. So damn what? Why cannot you recognise my achievements or my successes? Just because of two mistakes I did in my life DOES NOT DEFINE ME!
I hope my ongoing experience motivates you. Stay strong bro, we can do this.
