I know this isn't what you want to hear, my dear, but this type of moral dilemma is always easier to solve if you take "God" out of the equation.
"Wrong" is best defined as "detrimental to myself or others." (Of course, then you have to define "detrimental," and so on to infinity; but let's start with this.) Whatever you're doing that you think is "wrong" - does it hurt you? Does it hurt other people? If the answer is no, then you have to rethink whether it's really wrong.
I say this because all too often, "religious" notions of what's wrong are based on pure superstition and psychopathy. Sex is the quintessential example.
If you decide that it actually IS "wrong," though, the next question is, Why do I do it? And this is usually NOT an easy question to answer. You have to do some real "soul searching" - and you have to do it for yourself. Self-destructive behavior is always the "tell" of some deep-seated complex that has to be addressed and resolved.

fogetting God is taking the easy wayy out....so dont listen to the guys above me
you need to just keep trying....chin up....it'll work out in the end....just keep asking God to guide you and help you
he will
and you'll feel so much more achievement if you stop doing this sth....no mater how hard it is....than just giving up on the good....and following in the wrong which you are now struggling with
at least you realise its wrong...thats a good step!!
good luck!! God be with you!!

These are the kind of prayers that God the Father answers, things that tempt His children. You must understand first who you are. You are spirit made in the image and likeness of your heavenly Father. Your spirit hears His Words, but your flesh is weak, therefore you have to ask your heavenly Father for His strength, to overcome this temptation.
All prayers for riches and material things of the world are answered by Satan. Luke 4:6

You'll eventually grow out of it. In the interim you can either develop a nervous breakdown over it or just accept it.
The only reason you would need to do anything about it is if it causes pain to others. I bet it doesn't.

First, remember that, here on earth, we are in a continuos war against sin. You should hate your sin and decide to overcome it.
You can overcome your sin by praying when you are tempted to repeat it. Jesus asked us to pray so that we will not be tempted.
If you are catholic, go to confession whenever you repeat your sin, so that God will give you the strength to overcome it. Also take communion.

It's all part of being fallible. Ask forgiveness, and know that God hears your prayers. Also, ask him for strength to overcome your weakness. God Bless!

You're wrong. You and all the rest of us are living without God. Heave a sigh of relief and go have a pleasant day, eased of guilt.
