Well as for background: I've been a member all my life; born into the covenant. I've grown up strong in the church, and have been as faithful as I could, until a few years ago. Pornography and masturbastion has gotten the best of me. I've talked with my bishop several times about the issue: upfront, no facts left out. I've been wanting to resolve this problem almost right after it started. I've had a counselor being involved, a workbook to help overcome the problem, but both of those seem to be off and on. I've talked with my parents, though my dad is very hard to cope with sometimes. He's one of those guys that have a 'just get it done' mentality to him with problems. Don't get me wrong; I love him to death and he's very successful with his career, but I don't feel he understands completely about the addiction. The main problem I've been having is putting and KEEPING those things in action. I've tried and haven't stopped trying to keep them going; seeing the counselor, talking with the bishop regularly, reading my scriptures, etc; but I just can't keep them going. I've removed all availability to pornography in my house, and such, and it still finds its way through to me it feels like. Any suggestions as to how to balance it? I want to resolve it.
