>For this was what I was longing to do; but as yet I was bound by the iron chain of my own will. The enemy held fast my will, and had made of it a chain, and had bound me tight with it. For out of the perverse will came lust, and the service of lust ended in habit, and habit, not resisted, became necessity. By these links, as it were, forged together--which is why I called it “a chain”--a hard bondage held me in slavery. But that new will which had begun to spring up in me freely to worship thee and to enjoy thee, O my God, the only certain Joy, was not able as yet to overcome my former willfulness, made strong by long indulgence. Thus my two wills--the old and the new, the carnal and the spiritual--were in conflict within me; and by their discord they tore my soul apart ------------St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions Book 8.

I love listening to Augustine's Confessions over again with this.

https://librivox.org/confessions-by-saint-augustine-of-hippo/

The initial narrator captures his tone and emotion near perfectly.
More enjoyable than reading it the first time.

I quit porn after reading "The Easy Peasy Way", and I mean cold turkey, like no static pictures of females or anything of the sorts, at first it feels weird and after some times you start feeling better, your urge to FAP and think about sex slowly weakens. After about 3 weeks, you can go without fapping for days and without having sexual thoughts that don't let you think. After about a month I can say that I feel way better than I did in a long long time. The last I felt this good was when I was still a kid who never watched porn or fapped. It's awesome to not be a cumbrain anymore.
