Safe-Eyes has been a tool that the Lord has used to help me in ways that I have not experienced in over 20 years. It not only has a filter (that also helps to filter sites like Google images that are normally overlooked) but also has usage reporting that you can setup to save on the servers at safeeyes so you can't delete them off of your pc.
Just the simple fact that my wife can get in and see the sites I've gone to has been motivation enough to take away any desire to look.
And please keep in mind that my addiction was full blown. It has been something that I have tried to stop doing actively for over 10 years and this is the first time I've experienced this.
I've used other filters, but because I wasn't tracked, when the temptation came around I would just spend an hour trying to find a site that wasn't filter'd or find some way to disable to thing, but you just can't do it with safe-eyes.
Even when windows has a problem and gives you one of their famous "Program errors" and the safeeyes app shuts down, when you reopen internet explorer, it automatically re-launches and you are safe again.
More than likely, God will NOT take this sin from us. We have to be willing to give it up. The Scriptures tell us to "Wash YOUR hands you sinners, Cleanse YOURSELF you evil doers". That is God talking to us. God didn't fill our heads with all this junk, and we can't just say "God take it away" to get out of it.
We need to take steps to cleans ourselves of this sin.
Strength and power to you my brothers. Stand firm, clothe yourself in the armor of God, and take a step and get safe-eyes or equivelent on your pc's and set someone up as your accountability partner. You can over come.

Romans 12
New International Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Living Sacrifices
1) Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

There’s an old American Indian saying: Two dogs, one good, one bad. The one you feed the most always wins.
Saints, you can’t be tempted with something that’s not already in you ... something you are not about.
Our mind is the control center of our life, and we are the result of what we meditate on.
Proverbs 23:7 tells us: “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. The word thinketh in Hebrew is ‘sh’ar’ and means to act as a gatekeeper or a doorman to our heart.
Did you know the mind potentially can store 100 trillion thoughts? That’s just one of the reasons 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 teaches us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. We must guard our minds against the temptations and discouragement of this world. “Set no wicked thing before our eyes, that it should not grasp hold of us.” (Psalm 101:3)
Friends, we are tempted when we are drawn away, enticed and baited by our own evil desires of lust and passion, and when the evil desire is conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it fully matures, brings forth death. (James 1:14-15)
That’s powerful stuff, saints. Basically what this scripture is saying is if we meditate on what’s going on in our mind, it soon becomes an action and before long it’s a habit that ultimately can destroy us.
We must guard our minds and hearts against discouragement, because if it goes unchecked it will lead to depression. Folks, the devil wants to plant fear, failure and sickness through our thoughts and pictures in our minds. He knows if he can get us to see it with our mind’s eye, and meditate long enough, it’s just a matter of time before it’s coming out of our mouth, back into our ears, down into our heart and right back out of our mouths, until whatever ugly seed he has planted has become a reality and a stronghold. It’s just that simple.
How do we take our thoughts captive? We set our minds and keep them set on what is above, not what is on the earth, and we kill, deaden and deprive of power all the evil desires. (Colossians 3:2, 5).
“And finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think, meditate on these things, fix your minds on them. Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in Me; and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9)
Folks, we change our thoughts and renew our minds with the spoken Word. We put our hope and trust in the Father-God, knowing He watches over His Word to perform it, He will raise up a standard against Satan on our behalf and He will deliver us from the snare of the fouler. I’m living proof of that. But ... by the Grace of God ... there go I.
We must guard our hearts my friends, for what the doorman of our mind allows in is what we become. Which dog are you feeding?
The bottom line is this... STOP SINNING.
