I`m 29 years old, son of villagechurch leader in Norway...and very grateful for this website, and all the comments and confessions that`s helpful for so many!!
I`ve had my struggles too, and for many years I was trying to stop this monster from eating up my life.Many failures followed my path. A good friend of mine had the same problem, and we knew there`s so many others out there. Last year I got married, but realized that even a wonderful marriage to a beatiful women didn`t do the trick on this problem,although it had a tremendous impact on my life in general. But now I needed to fight harder, cause I wasn`t the only one hurting anymore.
SO, after some more failures I decided I`ve had enough!!
After some crying, along with my heartbroken wife, I called my friend and told him it HAD to happen this time. We decide to be accountable to each other, call every week for a checkup, and pray for each other EVERY morning.
IT WORKS!!!
Now it has been working for about 6 months, but not for free! It`s GOD POWERED hardwork, but the strength is building up, like it is with any workout. But there are some crucial points:
NEVER let go of Jesus

PRAYER DO have the POWER like the Bible tells us

ACCOUNTABILITY is CRUICAL

KILL ANY thought that MAY have the wrong motive

STAY in FULL ALERT for ANYTHING that may get you started

TV, Music,TV(most of it promote unholy attitudes and nonbiblical ways of living), and again TV, magasines, commercials, people in the street-in the church-at work etc.
Ask yourself: are you having the right motive looking at/listening to this??? If not: DON`T!!
Keep your focus straight

The strength is in JESUS, and we remain strong when He remains IN US!! JESUS IN US=STRENGTH to be like Him!!
