Advice for one afflicted with the addiction to looking at forbidden images

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I am a young man who loves good and loves its people, but I have been afflicted with an addiction to looking at forbidden images. What is your advice to me?

Answer:
This is a trial, a trial, and you must repent. You must stay away from looking at forbidden images, screens, the internet, and these things that bring evil. Stay away from looking at them. If you seek help from Allah, Allah will help you with it. Yes.
