idk, I feel lost right now, like where did my month of building self discipline go to if I just decided to fall right now. However I know what I need to do in the future. 1st not bring my phone with me into the bathroom, it stirs up temptations and it destroys me every time. Next if I ever feel lust or look lustfully, I must run, run from the temptations for I am not strong enough to win. 3rd I must pray sooo much more and actually rely on God; God is the only way out of death for he himself defeated death on the cross for our sakes!! Next if I encounter a lustful thought or I am by myself I must change my environment, and pray the Jesus Prayer—“My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Have mercy on me a sinner”—Through this prayer the devil has no space to encapsulate my brain, for a empty mind is the devil’s playground. I must rewire my brain to always pray, I must rewire my brain to long for long term dopamine and joy and not cheap dopamine from porn. The only way to achieve true joy is through God!! I must use my phone less, I must start finding new hobbies. I will begin working out, I will begin reading, I will pray more, I will call my friends when i’m in need, I will run from sin, I will always fill my mind with prayer, I will always put God first, I will never fall back—at rock bottom where else is there to go—, and I will win through God, for Salvation is soooo near I can feel it. Pray for me please!!

Prayers up for you brother! Don’t beat yourself up! You had a streak of success, something that you did not have before! You are trying to rid yourself of this addiction to lust, something that you were not doing before! You are turning to God and other sources of help, something that you have not done before for this addiction. Keep your faith and your courage going. Instead of thinking and saying I will and I must do something…just do it ! Your actions of doing things will help rewire your mind of finding new ways of achieving that dopamine rush

You got this brother, defeating the devil takes time and more than just ourselves. Stay strong and remember that through god we can accomplish anything.
