Im trying to break a porn addiction, how long will this take?

Im 15 and im trying to break an addiction to internet porn. How long will it take for the side effects to go away?

It is not an addiction. You make a conscious choice, every time you look at porn, to do so. No one is twisting your arm. Just don't do it. Control your own self. Don't expect anyone else to control you. you have the power just do it. The only other alternative would be to cut off your hands or put out your eyes. You get to CHOOSE. You are a teenager we all went through it and you hopefully will grow out of it but you must control it yourself. Teenagers brains are still forming and growing. Your mind is not fully formed yet and those thoughts will be there for you to control as you control it your brain learns. That is why teenagers rarely make the right choices. You should rely on your parents to guide you in the right direction. Your parents went through the same things. Just because the Internet is relatively a new thing does not mean that they did not go through these things. Believe me we all go through it. You must replace the action to view porn with another wholesome activity. Masturbation is not a wholesome activity. Try getting out side and taking in some fresh air. Go for walks. Join a team. Play ball. Skateboard. Ride a bike. Get plenty of exercise so that your brain will have a better chance to grow. Looking at pictures on the computer is not a brain growing opportunity.
