One question people are commonly asking is "How long does it take to overcome porn addiction?"
There are really two stages to the process.
First stage is breaking out of the obsessive-compulsive cycle and that stage takes anywhere from 30 to 90 days. And the reason for it is because it takes about 30 to 90 days for a person to form a habit or to learn a new behavior and make it a habit.
Second stage of overcoming pornography addiction is relapse prevention, and this stage is an ongoing process throughout the rest of the person's life.
So while it only takes 30 to 90 days to stop compulsively watching pornography, it takes a lifelong effort and maintenance to prevent yourself from going back into your addiction.

I've found that not masturbating is the key to this. Masturbation is what seems to enforce your relationship to porn. After stopping masturbation, I have little interest in porn and so regard my recovery as being the time I no longer felt urged to masturbate.
Having been a porn addict myself and trying to go sober for living life more fully, I find it hard to stay committed. Its about seeking to find things that matter and seeking to try to build a life outside of this. The purpose is to eventually get to the point where other people matter and hold you accountable.
A big big thank you from the UK! This is the best resource I have found yet on combating porn addiction. I'm starting the suggested 30 day programme today!
