6. Study the Word of God
concerning sexual purity.
Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains
of wickedness, in humility receive the Word implanted, which is able to
save your souls. - James 1:21
7. You must destroy any pornography in
your possession. You can't wean yourself off pornography.
Think of the hidden pornography in your home as a ticking time bomb
that will ultimately destroy your family.
8. You must learn to flee
temptation. Self-deception may enter when you think you
can play with fire without getting burned.
Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not proceed in
the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not pass by it. Turn away from it and
pass on. - Proverbs 4:14,15
9. Give yourself time to work through the
process of recovery. More often than not, God chooses to
take us through a learning and growing process, that can be very
painful. Victory over addiction should be viewed as a marathon, not a
sprint.
10.
It's cliche, but you must approach your addiction one day at a time.
Look for little victories and rejoice in the progress
you're making. Recovery is a cinch by the inch, but a trial by the
mile.
