Ask HN: I am addicted to Porn. Help me quit

There is a subreddit [1] about this where you can get a lot of suggestions and help.

As suggested before, breaking out of your bad habits is a great way to get started:

- never find yourself alone in a room with your computer (put the desk in the living room, etc.)

- get an app like Loop habit tracker [2] to track your "porn free" days and keep the streak going!

- do more activities with your loved ones (any kind of activities)

(I'm currently 65 days in. I know how it feels. It gets better with time. The fact that you've reached for help means you're already on the good way! Good luck to you!)

Everyone I know has a computer in their pocket.

Leave it on the coffee table or kitchen table when not in use. It's then nearby the majority of the time to hear notifications, but it's located in a common room of the house.
