I need prayer and help. One hobby I have is to read the Sherlock Holmes mysteries I really enjoy them. I know there is nothing wrong with a hobby but the thing is its take over my life. What I mean is I've fallen into obsessing over Sherlock Holmes. I only wanted to have Sherlock Holmes as a hobby cause as I said I do enjoy the mysteries. But its become where I'm watching the Jeremy Brett version of it on a daily basis and I'm looking at pictures of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes for many hours every day. I'm daydreaming of Sherlock Holmes alot and I can see that my prayer life and my Bible reading habits are suffering cause of it. I didn't mean for it to happen it just did. Just feels as if over night here I am in this mess again. I feel like I have to keep watching and thinking of Sherlock Holmes its become an addiction the way a drug addict needs their drugs or the alcoholic needs their next drink. I've already asked for prayer for this from some but the thing is I need to be kept accountable. Need someone else to hold me accountable to getting out of this mess and staying out and keep it as a hobby not obsession. I'm very vulnerable to obsessing over literally anything cause of the way my mind works. Thing is no one can read my mind so no one can say "oh I see she's struggling I'll help her out." And what makes it harder is its the thought life its not like ok if I stay outta a bar I'll be fine. And daydreaming is very easy for me to do I can make up stories at the drop of a hat within seconds. So I need ideas on how can anyone can keep me accountable because I need that. I need to know that ok if I struggle I can go to them and they can help me out or if I delve into this this person will know about it and is gonna ask me about it. I feel this obsession has gotten out of my control. If you saw my Pinterest and my Youtube videos you would see how out of hand its gotten and I need help. Please pray that I find someone who can help me and that GOD help me out of this addiction and just keep it as a hobby.

sounds lime the issue is you want to hang on to your sin... but without it being at a sinful level. this is like a drug addict saying 'i want get high a little but not be addicted'. if you want over your addiction you have to decide if you want over it more than you want to keep it in your life. it is a choice.. one or the other.
