Hi, I’m looking for advice on how to overcome what feels like an increasingly uncontrollable masturbation addiction. It’s gotten worse over time, and I’m starting to feel completely stuck.

The urges usually hit me at night before I go to sleep, especially when I’m not doing anything productive. During the day, I’m at work or keeping myself busy with other activities like gaming, but as soon as I have free time in the evening, it takes over. I tell myself I’ll stop, but I always end up relapsing, and the next day, I regret it deeply.

At this point, it’s not even satisfying anymore—it feels more like a habit than something I enjoy. It’s exhausting, and I know it’s tied to my low self-esteem and lack of confidence, which I’m also struggling with.

I haven’t told anyone about this because I’m too embarrassed, so I’ve been trying to figure it out on my own. But honestly, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to break free from it.

If anyone has any tips, personal experiences, or strategies that could help, I’d really appreciate it. I want to take back control and stop this cycle once and for all.

Thanks in advance for your help.
