If asked the question "Would you take a pill that would make your desire for porn disappear in one go?", 90% of those struggling with porn addiction would say Yes. Why is this so, indulging in porn is something that most of us find ourselves doing and yet we are not in any way proud of the actions. If this sounds like you the article below will help you understand why we fail in our attempts to overcome porn addiction.

Below is a list of reasons as to why you may be failing in your goal to let go of porn addiction.

1. You are not persistent in your resolution.

In the first days of getting exposed to Porn, it's always a voluntary action you still have control on when to watch porn however as time passes the voluntary action becomes a compulsive behaviour and you find yourself doing it even when you dont want to do it, for example you wake and are left with only 30minutes to prepare for work anything above that you will be late for work so in your senses you would choose to prepare so as to go to work on time however due to the grip that porn addiction has on you, you choose to use about 5 minutes to satify the urge and without knowing how they elapse, the 5 become 10, 10 becomes 30 and before you know it's 20 minutes past your reporting time and you have not even started preparing. 

Breaking this connection that has built over time is not something you are going to say "from this day am done with porn" and then it gets done. The goal here however is to make a daily commitment every morning to let go of the addiction. If you relapse today, tomorrrow is a brand new day to renew your commitment and fight again, same with the day after tomorrow and so on.

You will fail in your commitment to overcome porn addiction but make it a habbit to consistently renew you commitment to letting go of the vice every morning of your life until you are victorious.
