temperance or control... you have the freedon to choose. but instead of ice cream why not try fruits, some fruits are sweet and really have a good taste.

Don't trash it, donate it to a charity or school. They'll be happy about it. And I'm sure you'll get lots more satisfaction from that than just hammering it down the drain.\nAlternatively, do something serious about your addiction and keep the d*** thing and do something useful with it, like doing research for your studies, writing papers, ..

If your truly addicted then you seek help quitting.\nI suppose you can addict to it just like anything else and if its interfering with your life,, you go get the professional help you need before it messes up something you really wanted and needed in your life.

There are other services for help with addictions that do not involve organized religion.  Here are some sources in no particular order.\n\nCouncelling/Physcology\nEducation/Bookstore/Self Help\n\nThe more you know about yourself and why you do the things you do the easyer it is to change things in your life.\n\nAlso you may need to get other people involved, it is the nature of help.  You may need to tell a close friend or family member of your struggles and ask them to check in on you.  Make sure it is someone who will be understanding of your struggle and will not try and change you but will just be there for you to regularly have open honest conversation with.\n\nIf you do not know of anyone who would be good to talk with, go out and make new friends, join a club or a group and get some people involved in your life.  Trust me it will help.\n\nAlso speaking from ongoing experience don't try and kick porn overnight. Or being disapointed in yourself when you give in.  Focus on moving towards getting better and knowing that you can get better.

I read that there is a medication in the works to work on the addictive part of the brain. Right now there isn't a cure.  You can stop doing the addictive activity but it's not a cure, just restraint.  Lot's of times it turns into changing the addiction to something else. I quit drinking and now I eat too much candy even though I wasn't much of a candy person before. I also buy more scratch tickets.

Games are actually addictive... (I found this out when I found out indoor tanning is addictive). It's not like a drug addiction but it affects your brain the same way. \nI would find a way to keep yourself busy. My boyfriend was the same way and he was smoking grass when he played. It came in hand in hand. Once he stopped smoking, he was able to wean himself off gaming a little too. You have to try to set a timer or something to get yourself off and find other things to do. Go for a walk or go to the mall or anything to get out of the house. It is good you registered for class... keep busy!

Repent. This is the most you can do. Remember Jesus died for our sins. \n\nThe next time you feel the urge to do it again, pray to the Lord Jesus Christ,"Please help me not to fall into such temptations again Lord, amen". I believe that the our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ will forgive you. But you must remember not to do it again, for in one of the scriptures, it says, "Sin no more or you shall perish, without remedy"(Something like that)\n\nI will pray for you and at the same time, you must believe you can curb this addiction. \n\nGod Bless

Addictions are serious things to leave.  Viewing pornography is very addictive and you need help to get out of it.  Talk with your husband and install some parental control on your PC, with the only condition that you will set the password protection in it, so he cannot turn it off.\nIt's not impossible and it can be done.  Just make sure you are both in the same page, otherwise its going to bring you a lot of misery and shame.

Set a time limit for being online. Then, read a book; put a puzzle together; write a letter (on paper with a pen/pencil) (GASP), find someplace local to volunteer, learn to cook (or if you know how already, cook), and then there's the always famous, if you're really bored and tempted by the internet; CLEAN YOUR ROOM. Ha ha! Hope this helps, I also have a 13 yr old, his addiction is video games. Good luck!

I had that problem with my ex-hubby I caught him constantly spanking the monkey online, calling 900 numbers It is an addiction just like drugs or alchol except they are addicted to the fantasy that the porn and other things gives to them. The problem lies with him not you. Blame him not you and if this is how he really is trust me you are better off by yourself.

Too much of anything is bad. Same with porn. Once in a while it is fine, but being addicted is NOT. Talk to your friend, and say that u dont like it and that u cannot be a true friend if he insists on this.

You are in the early stages of the addiction.  I believe you also suffer from the need to accumulate useless information and Yahoo Answers feeds the need.

you're not a sex maniac. that's called exhibitionism. do you do it in real life too, or only on webcam? I seriously doubt it's a true addiction, because if it were, you'd be doing it in real life & exposing yourself to random people & probably would've had a run-in with the law at least a time or 2 as a result...for the record, "enjoy it very much" doesn't constitute an addiction. if that were the case, most people would have a clinical addiction to chocolate, sleep, and video  games!
