Day 0

After relapsing for the 7th day in a row and realizing that I went as far as trying to bypass the internet filter. Not even turning it off. Just finding loopholes. I had to finally admit to myself Im a drug addict. And my drug is dopamine. I may need professional help with this guys. Any of my Christian brothers and sisters have any advice? I don’t want to go to my pastor. I just feel too ashamed for that. I need someone who doesn’t know me and that this won’t change their perception of me. I’m not a bad guy, I’m just a weak man. So weak. Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be normal and not have this addiction. I am actually truly envy those people. Anyways guys, sorry for being negative today and not having a positive message. I’m just not doing OK today. I know tomorrow will be a new day. I don’t know everything will be all right. I still have Jesus and that’s all that matters.

Hey bro I would recommend trying some fasting. Don’t eat breakfast and break your fast at like 2pm.. it’s hard if you’ve never done it. But it worked for me… something happens when you deny your flesh. You get stronger in the spirit and you also get closer to the most high

The race is not given to the swift but he who endures to the end you fell so what get back up the fact that you want to quit is sign that light battling the darkness pray to god that he gives you the desire to stop give Jesus the authority to work over your situation by trusting in him don't even focus on your situation just focus on loving god and that desire wont even be there sooner then you think

I do the same thing, commit to a filter, constraints, rules, then I find ways to break them. Accountability is the one I hope works the most. Addictions hide in darkness, only exposing them to others voluntarily will solve it.

Hey bro, I encourage you to reach out to someone you know. The first step from moving away from serious sin like porn is telling someone. It allows you to address the problem. But just like with all sin, in order to overcome it you have to believe it doesn’t have a hold on you. The Lord tells us that no temptation is impossible to overcome. I used to think that was a lie, and I would give myself the excuse to watch porn every day by “trying not to”. But now I tell myself it’s not an option anymore. My focus goes from trying not to sin to now just trying to glorify God. I’ll be praying for strength and purity man.

Hey brother, it’s been a tough week for me. I’m struggling as well, but one thing I always want to put in perspective is that every sin is willfully done. Even if it’s not “intentional” it’s still willful. I try and ask myself why would I willfully sin against a savior who shed his own flesh and blood for my salvation and redemption when I am so unworthy. Reflect and pray on what he gave you and how far he went for you. How far are we willing to go for him? What will we give for his glory?
