I’m embarrassed to tell people I have a porn addiction and really want to be free of it but it’s hard to talk about, especially since I’m a girl and I don’t feel it’s as normalized. What do I do

I can’t say for certain what will work to help as each person is different but one of the most consistent ways is therapy. It’s not perfect but it does work for a lot of people. Another would be to just remove all your access to porn, it’s what I did to deal with it personally, I got an app that just prevented access to pornography. It’s not easy to overcome as any addiction is but it is possible to do.

Yeah I get that could feel embarrassing but I’m sure someone u trust or that’s been through something similar would listen. There might be support groups online for people going through similar shit

Covenant eyes, it costs money but I would just make a new account, once the subscription was about to run out refund it, wait a couple days then repeat. Use a VPN if you’re gonna do that.
