1) Remove triggers: Instagram girls and taking a break from social media in general. 2) Spend more time out of your room and/or doing something productive or you love (boredom is the biggest trigger) 3) Tell someone you trust and see if they can help you by holding you accountable 4) accept that YOU WILL FAIL A LOT. Not an overnight fix, slowly phase it out of your life. You got this🔥

Working in this too. Are there particular websites or app you use to watch porn? In my case, it was Twitter so I deleted my porn account and the app. I also try to keep myself busy by playing games, going outside, and other stuff

Mainly rule 34 and reddit. I deleted twitter cause ik it gets bad but I always find myself goin to some website. Ive heard people say “keep yourself busy” but i feel like its not that easy

Delete Reddit for starters. Keeping yourself busy does actually work especially if there’s things you haven’t had the chance to do like cleaning, or getting rid of things you don’t want anymore

I do got a question, my friends and I talk a lot over insta so i can’t just delete the app. And there are times where i end up doomscrolling on reels because of it. What should i do about that?

Download beeper or a similar app and connect it to your insta so you can continue messaging without needing to see your insta feed

Doomscrolling is a separate issue, but kinda tied to the same ultimate problem. If you care abt this friend then get their number, but I encourage you to try no socal media for a week then come back. If you start doomscrolling again try another week or two. Eventually you do this enough to where you don’t really need to be on insta.
