Breaking away from addictions

Addictions. Almost everyone i know deals with one form of it or the other. I dealt with several times,and i know of many people of my age bracket that do also deal with it. Some find it painful to break away so they continue,others think they have no choice.
People get addicted to several things,like the internet,television,pornography,drugs,sex etc. Most addictions are harmful to those that do them. Though there are good things to be addicted to,but in many cases people get addicted to the wrong things.
Addictions are formed when a thing is done or used continously over a long period of time. In the instance of a drug,a person that takes it more often than is required over time can develop the habit of going back to use that drug,however to his detriment.
The question now is how can a person break away from an addiction? As a fresh addiction free person,i know the process can be long and arduous,but possible. Though sometimes it requires a higher power to help one out,which it happened to be so in my case. There are different ways of breaking from addictions as it depends on the kind under consideration. Lets look at pornography magnificiently. Pornography as i know it is a very dangerous thing to get addicted to. It is the viewing of sexual pictures,videos,and other sexually explicit materials. I've been there,done it and won the T-shirt to show for it. It wasn't easy. I started by praying about it,then reading books and learning from materials how to break free from such a scorge. With time i was able to stop,but for only a while. The process continued but at one time or the other i just put a full stop,not a comma to the disastrous habit. I had to resist the urge to read or watch anything that was pornographic in nature. But all in all it took the grace of God.
Some might be wondering why all the fuss about pornography but i can tell you,its very detrimental to one's health;physically,mentally,emotionally and spiritually. Just take it or leave that way because you are hearing it straight from the horse's mouth. All addictions including porn ain't good for nothing. They only make a person's life go down the drain. So if you are currently battling with one,i beesech you to take the necessary steps to break it now before it turns into something really awful!
