Yea only don't add me as your accountability partner anymore...I'm still dealing with the same thing from time to time. I don't ask anyone to use any programs on me because I know that I would just find a way around it if I really had to. Besides, it's not solving the heart, which is what needs to be healed. Blocking sites may work for some people but I think that it's more important to be around others all the time who are Christians and get your mind completely off the subject. I have been away from church for the last 2-3 months and it's really hurting me. Now that I finally have insurance on my car again I will be going.
So Travis...I would suggest if you REALLY want to get rid of this horrible habit...tell your dad first off that you don't want those magazines. By telling him that you don't know, you're giving yourself another opportunity to give in to temptation. Find a good church that you can attend and have a few friends go there too or get into a good youth group that might be able to help. I know it's hard to find a decent church sometimes (from what people have told me), but it can be done. I have learned that no matter how hard you try, you cannot do this alone...you NEED other people around in person to keep you accountable and to keep challenging your faith. It's the reason I can't seem to kick the habit either...I have been away from church for over 2 months now and I find it extremely hard to get myself to read the bible or pray without someone there to encourage that I do so. I went 2 months without even THINKING about anything to do with sex and that was only because I went to my college group about 2 times a week and even once a week would be good.
At this point, you have to ask yourself, do you even care to get better? I have asked myself this and the honest answer is "Yes, but I have no strength alone." Until you find a group of people to really know you and be able to be there when you need them, it will be very hard I think. I went 3 years without pornography. Over the last 1-2 years though I have been helping so many people and it finally took a toll on myself the last few months. This is me talking from personal experience...separate yourself from the source of the problem and give yourself time to heal and pray about it. Don't spend all of your time on the computer if you feel it will lead you away from God either.
