About to hit day 5, I’m going to win this time.

Day 4

Day 4-5 is always the worst days for me, this is where it gets the hardest. Today I hit a strong urge and installed a social app and saw a picture of soft porn and had to instantly click off, I knew if I committed to looking at anything further I would later relapse. I’ve found the hardest part is trying to fall asleep on day 5-7. I honestly can’t think without my mind going straight to bad thoughts, I will even read a scripture or pray and it always seems to return to my consciousness when I close my eyes, to be able to sleep I usually relapse. I’m countering this by using Melatonin and luckily my day 5-7 will land on my days off work so I don’t have to wake up early. Good luck everyone, stay strong!

Rebuke it. Tell satan no. This is a spiritual battle. Use the sword of the spirit from Ephesians 6:10-18 matter of fact, use the full armor of God. The sword of the spirit is Bible verses u useagainst the enemy in times of battle and temptation… you got this brotha

Jesus, please give AK strength against sin and grace and peace for his mind. We love you Jesus and need you to guide us through these dark paths and come to the other side in your love. Amen.

I feel the same way; days 5-7 are the hardest to overcome. I’ve found that praying at the start of the day and throughout the day help to keep my mind calm. It’s almost like putting on spiritual armor to take on the challenges. There was a great little story on social media where a man asked Christ why he keeps falling in his battle with lust, to which Christ responds to give everything up to Him; our bodies are weak but Christ never tires and is the source of life. He will help us and guide us on the path. Best of luck my friend!

heres a tip: maybe when a urge hits, do a hard or soft exercise depending on the intensity of the urge. keep reading Scripture and keep doing your best. Im praying for you 🙏🙌
