Understanding it is the first step to overcoming it.
Then there was a book, "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, which helped me see that I didn't have to let my urges control me.
My feeling is that pornography and masturbation addiction are kind of like the old experiment with Pavlov's dogs, who would start drooling at the sound of a dinner bell even if no food was offered, simply because it was a conditioned response.
You've conditioned yourself to respond to momentary urges by using pornography and masturbating. And, since those are inherently unsatisfying activities, you are probably left with a feeling of dissatisfaction each time you indulge, making you want to try something more intense the next time. The 90-day reboot helps you re-condition yourself so that you can let momentary urges pass and focus on whatever is truly worth pursuing in your life.
