A new start - Lets do this together

[MovingForward-Now]

Hi all,
Small tread on me and what I want to do.
Also plan to commit time and to help others once I am ready.

• I have been struggling with a porn addiction since I was 13 years old I'm now 33
• Have been feeling better from time to time but I constantly fall back in toxic behavior watching porn
• Also have visited prostitutes
• Have a girlfriend that is stable and I now want and need to change

Please give me tips and let's discuss how do I stay strong and how can I beat this>?
I'm an engineer and researcher and a lot behind my computer suffering a lot of issues with focus.

Looking forward to growing stronger and making new friends
Thank you.

I am not the most expert person here at all but if you are looking for tips then the one thing I will say is this:from my many experiences failing to stop and being in my best attempt so far, trying to"be strong" is not effective for many people. It's about being smart. Identifying what triggers you to use and systematically eliminating as many of those triggers as you can. Fill your life with productive and fulfilling activities. Sitting around doing nothing on the internet, Netflix, or your phone is a surefire way to find yourself using eventually.

Also, it's not the end-all be-all, but https://easypeasymethod.org , while not written particularly well (lol), made a big difference in my mindset.
