This document has some good thoughts but is not super practical. Some things that I’ve noticed help:
  1. Get accountibilty software like Covenant Eyes on your phone and computer
  2. Get an accountibilty partner that you trust and who has had similar struggles, either who has overcome them or who is still struggling. Call them when you are tempted for encouragement and prayers
  3. Pray, obviously, but not just for avoiding temptation. Pray for the person that you have looked at with lust. Pray for those involved in pornography. Learning about the negative affects of porn for those who work in it sometimes helps. Not to mention, porn use aboslutely fuels human trafficking. Pray for the victims.
  4. Identify your triggers. Change up your routine. Find healthy ways to deal with stress.
I could write about this for hours. I will say that for many people prayer is not enough to combat the temptation of lust. For many it is an addiction , which requires a comprehensive approach for breaking those habits.
 
Something that I find helpful; go to confession once a week, even if you have nothing “serious” to confess. I find it helps focus on living a strong, positive life.
