| I have found my problem. It is no restraint, I can't restrain myself from looking on my moms comp after 10 pm. I have been able to go at least 4 days to anywhere to 3 weeks but I keep on letting things in and I keep on going to that comp to look at pron and download it. As soon as I let one little thing in I let a whole bunch of things in. I restrain myself for a little while but something always creeps in a few days after I do. I tell myself I will stop but it is only until the temptation eventually overcomes me, through watching tv, or the girls here in the corporate workplace who dress almost seductively and use too much perfume. I can't restrain myelf, only for so long until I creep onto the comp late at night to watch porn.

spe102580,
That's a pretty important insight. Step 1 in the 12-step program says, "We admitted that we were powerless . . . that our lives had become unmanageable." We can't restrain ourselves. We spend lots of years pretending we have control, but it ain't so. Great insight!
Now, are there ways to work with other people and with God to obtain a power together that you don't have yourself? The project of recovery is a project of turning over to God and to others the immediate temptations we can't resist, and of slowly facing ourselves and becoming new people who don't attempt to hide in addictive behavior.
Knowing that you can't do it alone, what steps can you take to get help and do it together with others?
Tim M.

Yeah, it is really difficult to keep away from those things. They fill an emptiness..
