I'm struggling with a porn addiction and I can't seem to stop. I do it about ten times a day and it's really starting to affect my life. I'm worried and I really need some advice from a medical perspective on how to overcome this. Can you help me out?
It's commendable that you're seeking help. Overcoming addiction takes time and support. I recommend talking to a therapist or counselor who specializes in addiction; they can guide you through strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Additionally, setting clear goals and reducing triggers gradually can also help you regain control.
