I have a problem with male homosexuality. not that I can participate, but it's somehow... attractive. I've been dealing with this for years, and probably always will... but I really want help. I need to get back to God, desperately. my life is crashing, and I'm scared. when you search for alcoholism, and recognize the first few stages of the addiction in your own life, you get scared. I've known I've had a problem, but recently it got really bad. I've told my small group, my parents, my best friend. but that hasn't helped. I'm not strong enough to stay away. I think the key is to deal with it day by day, but I forget... and then I get discouraged, and reading stories about it and looking at porn make me feel happy again... just a while ago I was completely ignoring God. I still don't have a daily devotions, can't seem to remember... but God has been getting at me through school, church, small groups, friends, adults... almost every conversation convicts me. that tells me He still has hope, but I'm having troubles. any advice?

Choose a schedule and try to stick to it. First thing in the morning works for me. Maybe set your clock radio to Christian station so it reminds you when you wake up. I'm not really a fan of contemporary Christian music but I like the reminder. Don't change your schedule that you pick until you have gone one week. Say to yourself that Saturday is the only day I am allowed to change my schedule and write in the accountability forum about how you are doing. If nothing else know that I am praying every day for everyone whose life is affected by Sex addiction. I am sure others are too.
