Breaking porn addiction is not an easy process. Various emotions come up and old habits are hard to let go of. No matter how hard it may seem, it is possible to\u00a0overcome and heal from your addiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As with stopping any addiction, you\u2019ll need to take time and establish new habits. People can get pulled deeper into their addictions due to boredom, anger, loneliness, depression,and other various emotions. The key is to find other ways to deal with your triggers, and develop new routines, or habits, to support you in your healing.<\/p>\n \u201cRock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.\u201d \u2014 JK Rowling<\/p>\n Quitting porn, especially cold turkey, is hard and a process where you\u2019re going to have to rely on various tools and resources to help you throughout the whole approach. One of the first things we recommend is installing a software to block porn on your computer and phone. There are many apps and software programs out there, such as\u00a0Covenant Eyes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Net Nanny<\/a>, to look at and see which one best fits your needs and budget.<\/p>\n During this time it\u2019s also important to establish boundaries. Boundaries are essential to set for yourself so you can decide what your limits are and what compromises you\u2019re not willing to make. By taking time to determine your boundaries, you can use these lines to help you in your road to recovery. An example of a boundary you might set for yourself is not getting on the computer during dinner, but instead spending that time with your family. Another might be no longer hiding somewhere to use the computer, but to use it in the open where you won\u2019t be tempted to view porn.<\/p>\n While you determine and set your boundaries, consider them for all the areas in your life: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. This is also a good time to share these boundaries with your spouse so they can help you hold yourself accountable.<\/p>\n
