I'm 13 and feel addicted to porn - AID's story
I'm a 13 year old boy and I feel way too addicted to porn. When I started about a year ago I thought it was only a harmless habit. But now I find this addiction taking over my life. Every single night I lay sleepless in bed thinking about it and until I do look at porn I can't fall asleep.
Throughout the day I always seem to be thinking about it then I get stressed out and submit to the addiction even more. Now it just seems like it's a black hole sucking me further and further in and never letting me go. Pornography is taking over my life. I have tried everything to quit but it never works. Everyday I grow more and more hopeless and guilty. If anybody any ideas for me please share.

I know how you feel, I was 12
I know how you feel, I was 12 when I started and still haven't been able to stop. But recently the thing that has helped me out the most is a book. I don't know where your spiritual beliefs lie but it is a good book and will help. It is called "Every Man's Battle" there is a whole series out there one for women, teenagers, etc. But that book really helped me get a grasp on everything. It may help point you in the right direction. Get a hold of it now, it will only get worse if you don't
Porn is like a muscle
Porn is like a muscle the more you use or indulge in it, the more porn you end up needing. Secondly at your age i.e. teens your going through puberty when sexual desires are very strong and this only makes matters worse. However the opposite is also true the more you can stay off porn the easier it starts to get over time to move away from using, but its not easy
Don't worry bro/sis,
Don't worry bro/sis, hopefully you will overcome this addiction! Realize that this is not only influencing you, but thousands of other people out there as well!
Porn as a substitue?
Using porn can be likened to comfort eating or over drinking, porn might be used as a form of comfort when other sources of comfort or love or intimacy are not available to us. However, the problem with this is that porn can never be a replacement for those deeper unforfilled emotional needs. Porn can & never will give us love, will never be able to meet our intimacy needs or our need for feeling loved & valued as a human being. Porn is all smoke & mirrors, all illusion it calls to us and promises much but these promisies are just emptiness.
Well said!
Porn is all smoke and mirrors - I like that a lot. There'll be a reason why we make up the illusion, and it's not because we're bad or weak people. Somewhere, deeper down, there's a positive intent to meet the needs that Alex mentions.
