Depends on what addiction you have but most likely, you will need therapy and/or medication to help you out with your issue. Any kind of addiction is a serious issue that is difficult to be in control.

Often, willpower is not enough and needs to be accompanied by a medical follow-up or even a institutionalization for a few weeks or months, depending on the severity of the addiction.

An addiction is not just limited to drugs but can be anything that you are no longer master of and that would include gambling sex/pornography and other addictions.

Good luck

Can you try to wean yourself off porn? Maybe start by limiting it and slowly reducing the time watching it. Sure it is still ok to masturbate... all guys do it frequently if they are not having sex but they will not admit it. How old are you? Hang in there or Dm if you just want to chat about it.

What kind of addiction? Gambling? Alcohol? Cigarettes? Drugs?

Regardless for some people cutting it cold turkey works, for me what sort of works is limiting it bit by bit. Going cold turkey is incredibly difficult for me.

You presumably are aware that what you are addicted to is kind of relevant here to give you advice

Cold turkey and willpower.
