Welcome to the forums! A lot of people on this forum also suffer from porn addiction (including myself). I would recommend writing down why you play video games and what your triggers are. How do games make you feel? Why do you want to quit? It's time to investigate these reasons.

I also recommend only trying to quit one thing at a time so you don't overwhelm yourself.

Good luck

Today i worked at my local dog shelter.

Took our own dog whith us and had a good day.

deleted my steam account, and uninstalled my games.

Feeling alot calmer already when not playing the toxic game that is cod.

On to the next day 🙂

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

Getting out of addiction is replacing gaming and porn with something that
fulfills the needs in the real world. 

Social connections, recognition, making progress and moving towards something
that means something to you. 

I am on cold turkey but be aware that needs are unmet once you quit those 
addictions, the faster you find something equal to gaming and porn you succeed.

It's really something we need to practice.

On "porn free radio" on Spotify the podcast he is also talking about that he is 
getting better at recovery. It's a skill, being aware what need is unmet and
then look how we can act in the world that the need is met.

Good luck!
