I know I've posted about this before, but it really gets me down at times. Not to mention I feel like a hypocrite at times. I always tell everyone else that such lusts are abhorrent and yet I can't even stop a stupid inappropriate content addiction!

Some spiritual guidance would be great.

There is little I can do for you. Until two or three months ago, I used to be like that too. Then, somehow, I just stopped feeling such a strong urge to do it, and I have not done it ever since. I suppose that part of the reason was that, in January, the race for the presidential elections began here in Portugal; I suppose that it just bid me look more into that subject and took my mind off inappropriate contentography for a sufficiently long time. Now, of course, if I am tempted and the thought crosses my mind, I will consider it and think about it; however, I will now more easily reject it.

So, perhaps I can give you only a handful of advice: 1) pray that God may help you; 2) read the Bible and focus on your spiritual relationship with the Father; 3) talk to some trustworthy brothers and sisters at your church about this subject; and 4) get a hobby with which you may occupy your time, so that, if nothing else works, you may ‘force’ yourself to stop due to a self-impose lack of time.
