Why do I have so little self-control over watching and doing it after porn?

Question

I have been doing , flicking the bean for 7 years now, and I can't stop, I do it almost every day, I have taken breaks at times but they didn't last more than a few months. I feel like I have no control of my body, I know its dopamine, but it happens everytime when my parents leave, my body just does it automatically lol. How do I stop myself. Should I stop every route I take which leads me to flicking it or is there a way? I need help, its "destroying" my life. I need it to end!

This is how it "destroys my life" and I know its not strange or dangerous but:

1. I've developed hand and body tremors which I'm almost sure is due to my long history of masturbation which weren't present before this issue
2. I feel more nervous to the point where I can't participate as much as I use to in social situations and develop weird noticeable features
3. I am addicted which means I depend on it like a drug and its on my mind most of the time
4. I feel depressed, more tired and angrier because I do it

How is masturbation destroying your life? It’s perfectly normal. You say you do it “almost every day.” That’s pretty normal. A lot of teenagers do it 5-6 times a day. I’m just unsure why you think it’s a problem. Teenagers are full of hormones, and most of them spend a significant amount of time playing with themselves or someone else.
