  7. Dependence: Relying on porn for emotional regulation (e.g., using to cope with stress). Relevance: Withdrawal causes anxiety, irritability.
  8. Addiction: Losing control, prioritizing porn over life (e.g., missing family events, erectile dysfunction). Relevance: Damages health, intimacy.
  9. Crisis: Facing severe consequences (e.g., divorce, job loss due to porn use). Relevance: Forces choice between denial and seeking help.
  10. Treatment: Admitting issue, seeking therapy (e.g., joining support groups like NoFap). Relevance: Reclaims control, rebuilds habits.
  11. Relapse: Returning to porn under triggers (e.g., stress prompts binge). Relevance: Part of recovery; requires renewed effort.
  12. Long-Term Recovery: Sustaining porn-free life (e.g., healthier relationships, hobbies). Relevance: Restores fulfillment, resilience.

Real-Life Impact: Porn addiction disrupts relationships, work, and mental health. Recognizing stages aids early intervention; treatment and recovery restore balance.
