Time for a change?

I've been thinking a lot this past little while about making a change in my therapy. I feel like things aren't going really when where I'm at, I feel like the therapists don't really care, and have kind of given up on me. In the past year one therapist dropped me because he didn't have a constant time to see me, I've been seeing him for years, and my new therapist can't see me at the only time I can come in. I've have a really hard time with that, so that's why I feel like they don't really care.
My bishop found this therapy group that he wants me to try, I went to him before I got divorced, he was the first therapist I had ever seen. He's a little different, but he uses the gospel in overcoming and healing from this addiction. I really think a change would be good. I just need to sit down with my bishop to see if he can help out with the cost.
I've been struggling again here recently, just since Thursday, I started looking at pictures on the computer at work, that moved to trying to access YouTube and long at pictures on Google. I even was able to access chrome and check out some porn sites before net nanny shut it down. I got away from praying and reading my scriptures. I turned to the world to escape and not to my God. I am so grateful for his patience and mercy. I would have given up on myself a long time ago, but He is always there waiting for me to turn to him and have him help me. I think that's part of why this trial is so hard, to why recovering from an addiction is so hard. As addicts we fantasize about things that aren't real, we escape reality and turn to this fantasy world. We don't want to face reality. In turning to God and asking him to remove my shortcomings and character weaknesses, I have to face reality and deal with the mess that I have created. We can't hide from God, we can't trick him or escapes into some fantasy world, we have to face it and fix it.
I have to do this, I need to be sealed to my wife and kids, I need to be a righteous father and husband. I want to be happy, I want to have peace and control in my life. I need to change, and I can change with the help of my Lord and Savior.
