Pornography is the number one problem I now encountered in the Church when members seek help.
Some suggestive helps here: anything that is a sin usually will start with a thought, whether by you or by those across the veil [minions of Lucifer]. In dwelling on the thought, eventually lead to an action. So the question is what to do with that thought? Immediately, sing a church tune when a sinful thought enters the mind. Or - immediately tell your self, I WILL OBEY ALL THE LORD'S COMMANDMENTS. Or - do something that can easily erase the thought by work or reading. I am sure you may have something that can help you with this issue and see you are already pushing to cleanse the mortal flesh.
If the above fails, meaning it is continuous, immediately go to bent knee prayers and ask FATHER to help you to overcome it. Sincerity and humbleness brings tears to the Spirit and easily provokes the Spirit.
Now, you need to avoid anything on TV, web base, magazines, or anything that is suggestive, which may weaken you to dwell on those thoughts. Avoid it at all cost.
Create a focus gospel desire that will require study the scriptures, ponderous time frame, prayers in seeking the desire to be answered by GOD. Make worthy gospel goals to bring back that spirituality to your spirit, There are others I suspect your bishop has already stated.
However, I commend you in seeking help and acknowledging your weakness. It reveals that you are seeking to perfect those weaknesses.
