So for the past month I have been living by myself it used to be me & roommates but they are on a vacation and it’s been me alone and I am currently single. I used to struggle with like Instagram and you know social media triggering me to have a relapse but I have kind of had that under control, but the loneliness and boredom brings back the thoughts to watch porn and jerk off do any of y’all struggle with this and any solutions?

If your loneliness is causing you to sin, I would recommend to run to God. Pray to the Lord. He is always with you and once you realize this you’ll realize that you’re never alone. You have a best friend, a father in heaven who is alive who can relive in you through the Holy Spirit he will help you to remain pure. Be consumed by his presence. He loves you and doesn’t want to see you fall. Run to him

I struggle with the same exact thing. Pure boredom and being by yourself is what lures in most people who have the addiction and it’s something that I’m currently going through and looking for solutions to. I’m going to start simply distracting myself. Probably going outside, reading, praying, anything that will take my mind elsewhere. I wish for the best of luck for you on your journey to overcoming this
