Here is a checklist to destroy most (and hopefully all) sources of porn in your life.
The effectiveness of this checklist depends on your actions.
Ready to begin?

[ ] Tell someone you intend to destroy all sources to your pornography, and to take serious preventative measures. Ask them to follow-up on your plan (share this plan with them). You can find groups and people to share this with in the links area. Find a priest, pastor or counselor. You don't have to be religious to visit a priest. Yes, they may try to "convert" you. If you are not ready, just tell them you are immediately interested in being free from this addiction. Alternatively, you can look in your local newspaper, or phone book and find the local chapter of SLAA or SLA (SEE LINKS PAGE) and share it at a group meeting, or with an individual who seems to have recovery.

[ ] THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IS AT THE END OF THIS LIST...

-[ ]- Do not delude yourself by thinking you can view "safer images" or "safer sites" there is no such thing as a "safer" site.

-[ ]- You must admit that you are deluding yourself with these "safer sites," so you and you alone have the responsibility to do something about this little sneaky/peeky game that leads you to something worse.

-[ ]- This is like an alcoholic saying "I won't drink, I'll just lick the outside of this glass of rum".

-[ ]- You wouldn't drink just a "safe" amount of strychnine, would you?

LASTLY, AND MOST IMPORTANT - Develop a spiritual hunger for God - the closer you draw to God, the less and less you will want porn.

Destroy anything that supports your habit in any way

- graphic pictures, words, etc.

The bottom line is: if it's bad for you, it needs to be destroyed and eradicated from your life..
