Direct answer: After a breakup, porn can become an immediate escape from loneliness, rejection, and emotional withdrawal.
Why this feels harder than it should
The relief is short, but the shame and isolation afterward can make the original pain worse.
The belief shift
Treat the heartbreak and the compulsive route as connected problems.
What to do next
Reduce private access during vulnerable hours, increase real human contact, and seek support for the loss.
Where Override fits
Override is built for the acute window. It can create temporary friction around selected apps and guide you into an active reset without publishing the full intervention method online.
It is not a replacement for therapy, accountability, community, or deeper recovery work. It is the tool you prepare for the moment those supports are hardest to access.
Prepare before the next urge.
Set up Override while you are calm.
