Overcoming a Hidden Struggle with Pornography

Assalamu alaikum, I’m reaching out because I’ve been fighting a battle with pornography for years, and it’s eaten away at me since my teenage days into adulthood. I feel like putting my struggles into words might be the only way I can finally break free. I know as Muslims we’re supposed to conceal our sins, but I’ve kept this locked away from everyone close to me, hoping I’d quit on my own. Yet, somehow, I keep slipping back into that same pit I’m so desperate to climb out of. Maybe I’m not holding myself to account strongly enough, or maybe I’m just not being real with myself about how bad it’s gotten. I fully understand how harmful pornography is-it wrecks the soul, clouds the mind, and weakens the body. But when I’m alone in my room, it’s like all self-control vanishes. I feel like such a hypocrite, begging for forgiveness right after, but I can’t seem to stop. There was a time I met a sister, and after just talking to her, the urge to watch porn completely disappeared. I stayed clean for a long spell, almost six months, and I felt so much lighter. But somehow, I stumbled back into it. If anyone has advice on how to truly overcome this addiction, please share. I’m posting this because I feel hopeless and I’m desperate to stop. I know this topic is sensitive, but I’ve hidden it for too long, and I’m not brave enough yet to confide in anyone I know face-to-face.
