Judgment of others

Here has been my biggest problem with this. You try and tell people you stopped jerking off / porn and your friends will treat you like a pariah or that something is wrong with you for wanting to do so. Or they are like “no wonder u have been so angry lately.” Like nah I’m just trying to kick an addiction that I’ve been struggling with since early teens. As for the anger thing, this is what I struggle with. I feel like the body needs a release and sometimes the solution seems nothing else but masturbation , particularly if you aren’t having sex.

Any advice on this would be helpful.
