stopping addiction to porn??? :(

[cant-stop-loving-her]

I have a friend (obviously a guy) and he is "seeing" a girl but they are not together..yet...

 

he has a problem that he is VERY strongly addicted to porn and want to stop it, .. it has almost nothing to do with the girl he is seeing.. just doesnt want to do it everyday...

is there a way of getting rid of this addiction, graduaally or fast??

 

and he says he's been getting behind in studies lately.. does masturbating affect ur brain?? or ur mind or sumting???

 

thanxx...

i would say try to make him go cold turkey

I have never had to deal with addiction, but for me lowering sex drive dramatically decreases my desire to look at porn. So anything that would have that effect....

I think what would really work is the software monitor from the guys at

its based on trust, he put it on his computer and you get a list of the web sites he's been looking at, its best if its not his gf but a freand.

 

get him to have a look and see what he thinks.

Unplug the internet and study at a friends house or in a different room would be a good start. Sounds like excuses for not getting down to some serious studying to me to be honest.

It is best to try to get your friend concentrating on something else; I am dealing with a recent addiction that has come up and it is hard to go cold turkey, let me tell you. But it's possible your friend can stop; he simply must find something else to focus on...namely life itself.
