I'm feeling really stuck with this porn addiction and it's taking a big toll on my time and energy. Lately, whenever I'm alone in my room at night, I can't help but watch porn until I fall asleep, and I end up masturbating. I've tried to control it myself, but it's just not working and it's affecting my productivity. Could you please offer some advice on how to overcome this?
