I gotta say, way back in the day you posted something on my thread along these lines that was extremely eye opening and something I still keep on coming back to.

You nailed it!
I know the feeling, you just want to stop feeling bad, you need to escape to a place of pleasure and fun. Porn is an extremely potent drug! Thats exactly what it does. It just does a little less damage to the physical body than drugs.
Its not easy dude, not easy at all. But the struggle it real and really important to our tikun in this and next worlds.
What worked for me is to sit with that feeling and push it for a few minutes, and see that this desire is nothing more than you brain wanting something that feels good, but nothing that you actually want, because you know how problematic it is and how terrible you will feel afterwards. So just sit and feel the desire ebb and flow and allow some sense to come into your brain meanwhile. Like what am i actually planning to do? how will i feel afterwards? can i mamesh not get up and walk away? you will see that you have power and options beside being a robot and doing what a small part of you wants right now.
Love
