Understanding helps you take a bottom up approach to overcoming porn addiction.

There are so many reasons and everyone is different so it must be you who comes to the final realization.

Armed with this knowledge you can take on these causes and find ways to come to terms with them and eliminate them from your life making you a stronger person and killing the weed at its base.However, some people have an uncanny ability to over think things and investigate and understand but never get around to actually taking action! Nothing amount of soul searching will actually help you quit unless you have the will to take positive actions not only against the top down aspects mentioned but against the root problems which are a lot harder.

With acceptance and understanding you'll gain access to one very effective weapon in ditching your addiction to porn - resolve. The resolve to act on your goal will be a very powerful tool that you will need more than once on your road to success. Act on what you have planned. Throw away the magazines and DVD collections that you have which can tempt you into coming back. Clean your computer of any bookmarks, videos, or pictures and install a porn blocker. Move your PC to a highly visible area to make it impossible for you to access such sites.

There's a lot more useful and constructive things that you can do with your time, all you have to do is pick one out. Learn model kit making, read a book, pick up painting, spend more time with your family, start a collection - anything! As long as you use that spare time that you used to have for porn viewing for something more worthwhile.

Another essential component in breaking a porn addiction is learning how to listen to yourself. Find a quiet place. Take a notebook, a pen and some sincere questions. Looking inward before you take a step outward is a powerful skill to master. Because you are often led to walk by the voices in your head, it's pretty important to get them straight so you can help direct your destination.Ask yourself questions like, "Why do I view porn? What is it I am seeking? What does God know that could help me out?" As you ponder these and other questions that come to you, you may just be in store for some profound personal insight that no program can provide... unless of course it has you do this activity as well :)
