Too hard to handle on your own

Well, like many others I started to view porn, from friends, either by internet or videos. For many years I struggled with this addiction in my life. Even people from my own church group, left a blind eye or were part of the problem. I am a born again Christian and have been walking with the Lord for about a year and a half now. It was for a whole year, that the Lord redeemed me from porn, and it was the greatest feeling in the world to finally be free from this. But it was about a few months back that things started getting harder to resist, the things in the past that I got freedom from. I noticed once my walk with Jesus waned, the temptations, got the best of me, and I slide back into porn on and off. I would confess it to godly friends from my church and they would pray for me, and would have victory for a while. But, I need to let those who have a similar story. You need to have accountability, you cannot try to stop the evil cravings on your own. Get some accountability software, get rid of your computer if you don't need it. Put it in a place where there is high traffic, pray daily, and keep your fellowship with the Lord as strong as possible. If tempted, read the bible, call a christian friend, pray, get prayer. Jesus wants to redeem you, from this vice, but this christian life is not to be done alone. Please pray for me, andpray for each other.
