I'd strongly suggest that you see an addicition counselor or therapist that specializes in addictive behavior. Or dive head first into a formal recovery program or group. I will say though that you can't usually "think" your way out of it on your own. Throwing all this out there on forum such as SR can be somewhat helpful, but to be brutally honest it seems like you are just spinning your wheels at times...which is fine too. But it won't solve the core issue. Perhaps your faith can guide you too..there is help in the church for that as well. I would be willing to bet that your priest or others in the church know of faith based resources/programs you could try out.
