Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Cold turkey from: porn can be ok if you have professional guidance since you also mention bipolar disorder. Congratulations on the progress you have made. Your doc may refer you to a 12 step group for porn/sex addiction. You need someone to check in with. Peace and good health.
