The most effective treatment for pornography addiction is a 12-step group, similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. This will help you examine the problem and work with others in a group setting to decrease your dependence on pornography. This has been proven by studies to be the most effective method.

Brief Answer:
Follow-up
Detailed Answer:
In that case, I recommend seeking help from a psychiatrist, who can provide one-on-one psychotherapy. This therapy will focus on helping you abstain from pornography altogether, and to focus on normal healthy relationships with real people. There is no medication for this problem that has been shown to be effective, but psychotherapy can help.
If you do not have a psychiatrist in your area, I can provide ongoing therapy on this website. Simply ask me directly using my private link below.
