In doubt

I knew quitting this addiction was not going to be easy, but after 2 long streaks (15 and 11), my best in year, I was confident I was going to be okay. But I just relapsed after 2 days, I go to the gym, I try to avoid instagram content that could tempt me but I still relapsed. This is harder than I imagined. Can I really do it ? I was really optimistic because I made great progress with this app, but it seems my journey to being a better man is filled with traps and difficulties. I noticed a lot of people are turning to god and talking about it on this app, I was never a convinced believer, can He help me overcome my addiction ? How so ? I respect religion but there are some things I disagree with, I want to try, but I don’t know how to do this.

When you find yourself in those traps and difficulties is when you need God the most. That’s the time to come to Him in prayer —> (pray this: “God, I cannot do this on my own. I’m broken without you and I need you now desperately. Fill me with your love and joy than only you can give. Nothing in this world can ever satisfy this life except you. Thank you Lord in Jesus name. Amen.) God doesn’t speak to you verbally (hearing his actual voice) but you can feel his presence (the Holy Spirit within you). The Holy Spirit is our main helper in this life and is always with us wherever we go.

“With man, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” -Mathew 19:26 As a fellow believer in Jesus Christ, I know 100% that God Himself can help you but you have to allow Him into your life. You do this by surrendering your life to Jesus (pray to Him by confessing your brokenness as a sinner in this world of suffering and ask for forgiveness). Remember that God wants your genuine heart and not the eloquent words you use to talk to Him (he already knows what your going to say before you say it). He knows how you feel more than you can ever imagine. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts” -Isaiah 55:8-9

Do you see all the religious people here struggling with addiction? That's because religion doesn't actually help you stop your habit. You don't need to believe in religion to beat addiction. You need to believe in YOURSELF. That's much more empowering than begging for help from an entity you can't see or understand. When you believe in yourself, you have the power to change things. You are the center of your own universe -- when you help yourself, your universe helps you.
