Direct answer: Boredom is uncomfortable under-stimulation, and porn can become a familiar high-stimulation escape.
Why this feels harder than it should
Boredom is dangerous because it does not feel dramatic. You may only notice the pattern after you are already scrolling toward it.
The belief shift
Nothing happening can still be a trigger.
What to do next
Plan empty high-risk windows and use structured tasks with a clear endpoint before passive scrolling turns into the old route.
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.
