How to Overcome My Addiction to Online Porn?

Question by Bumblesnortapus: How to overcome my addiction to online porn?
I know of rehabs where a person can go to detox from drugs and alcohol abuse/adddiction. Where can I go to get help with my onlne porn addiction? It’s ruining me! I should study for a college exam and hold down a job but I quit my job to look at porn (my mom pays my way and lets me live in her attic) and now I want to go to porn sites and look at barely legal girls instead of doing anything else. How do I get help?!?!?! Also, will my mom’s insurance pay for me to get better?

Awww I am sorry to hear it. Admitting it is half the battle. I actually watched some porn for a little while. I had to quit cold turkey. I think that’s the only way. To make the choice to stay far far away. And it probably helps that I have God and church and other things to distract my mind. Sometimes yahoo answers distracts my mind lol…but I think every addiction must not only be removed but replaced, because if it’s not replaced you just have an empty spot. The longer you spend not doing something, the less you are tempted to do it. There are other things I gave up that I don’t miss anymore. Soap operas are another example. I’m a woman lol….Oh and maybe you have a root problem that can be covered by insurance. Maybe you can just go see a counselor or something…since I am not sure if there is a porn equivalent to AA…Best wishes to you!!!
