How Can I overcome Temptation?

I tried my best to avoid those temptations.
I admitted that I am addicted to porn and alcohol.
my body is always looking for it. I feel irritated when I can’t drink alcohol for a day.
I can’t also sleep when I don’t watch porn.

I attempt to consult a doctor but I felt ashamed of what I did if they are going to ask me a question.
I want to stop this but my mind keeps thinking about those things.
Please give me some advice on how can avoid this.

For me i went thru some of this years ago and know others as well so there are a couple of things that help. First remember that you are a slave to this stuff if you dont stop. You do it but you have to do it again and again and it never really satisfies. You have been beaten by an enemy. So don’t let the enemy win. It tries to take your life. They have pills that will absolutely stop you from drinking… i think its anabuse. Really works - you get sick if you drink. Porn is a lie. Women dont really act that way - it seeks to attack your dopamine production which addicts you. You need to win the war by just flat stopping - give the “fasting” to God as a gift. Look up a “dopamine fast” on youtube - interesting stuff. It actually gets easier. Finally replace your two “hobbies” with something or someone far more healthy. Stay busy. Remember you can only think of one thing at a time… so divert your mind. Win the war of the mind.
