OUR REPLY:

We are praying for you right now. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Get connected with a church that has a "Celebrate Recovery" program. You don't have to attend the church, just the program. It's people working together to help overcome addictions of all sorts.

2. If you feel the urge, first pray for strength and then read a chapter in the bible. I would hope by the time your done, your urge would have passed.

3. put on a filter on your internet browser and lock that stuff out. password protect it and have a good friend set the password. 

The more obstacles you put in your way from sin, the better chance you won't commit that sin.
