ooh, i think that 12 step program might be a good idea.
alas. i believe in the great power that prayer has. So, first i would say devot a lot of your time, as much as you can (maybe a 1/2 hour to hour?) in prayer each day. Ask God for guidance, thank him, talk to him, praise him, and in doing so heal your soul. Ask others to also pray for you.
Other than that, if you see yourself falling into old, bad habits, it is time to completely irradicate those from your life! no matter what it is, find any and all way possible to get the problem away from your site and reach in your everyday life. If it is something computer wise- use blocking programs, if it is a person -distance yourself from them. Just discipline yourself as much as you can. It feels so good when you have stopped these habits, but i can feel like the lowest of lows to fall back to them.
When faced with a temptation, logically think it through, and decide on your best course of action, instead of allowing any basic instincts to take over.
I wish you the best, and God bless!

The Bible says that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
I would encourage you to spend time in Gods word and pray.
The fact that you are bothered by the things you are doing shows maturity and growth.
You never stop growing and learning no one just arrives it is just that as you get older you learn from your mistakes.
The one that can truly help you is Jesus talk to him openly and honestly and willingly He would never condemn you see john 3:16,17.
Take life one day at a time and live in the moment don't look backwards look forward and live for today.

You are not alone.
You must have a relationship with Christ, daily walking in His steps, and praying and reading His Word. Asking for His help, giving you strength to resist temptations.
Read the Book of John.

K.. first things first, are you saved? Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save your sins and the whole worlds sins? If you are saved, you can make it! I'm a Christian, and we all go through tough times, but The Bible says that "My grace is sufficient for Thee.." Even Christians make mistakes. Its apart of our sin nature. Trust God, and He will give u peace like you've never known!! My prayers are w/ u. God bless!

Everytime you wanna go back to an old habit remember Christ died for our sins; the forgiveness of our sins.

Instead of using this fictional Christ character as a means to get your life in order, look within yourself and realize that you can be a better person all on your own. Just believe in yourself.

What you face is in Romans ch 7 and you need to go into by faith into Romans ch 8 - Where you gain the victory over the sinful nature by putting it to death, crucifying it. God forgave you of your sins and made you a new creature in Christ, however; you need to come to God and give him all of yourself, completely wholly, entirely, allowing God to fill you with His Spirit, empowering you to live the life God has called you to live in Christ, by the Spirit's leadership, by the Spirit's empowering, by the walking in the Spirit in His fullness.

Keep fighting for it. Renew your mind and thoughts with scriptures. Get some good Christian friends to hold you accountable.

How about the peace and love of your own mind? Christianity is a distortion of history: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/first/

Not your fault. Christ is just a figment of someones imagination.
