Willpower alone isn’t working

I got this app last night. I’m 20 now and I’ve been watching porn since I was 12 years old despite growing up in a Christian household (my dad is a pastor) – I always told myself I would quit tomorrow, next week, after I move house, when exams start, when I get a girlfriend etc… but it never lasts and eventually I relapse when boredom, stress, or doubting God kicks in. I deleted social media two years ago I’m hoping this app also helps me to stay focussed, grow closer to God, strengthen my relationship with my girlfriend (who has been so gracious to me), and lead to true repentance. I do believe watching porn has heavily damaged my relationship with God, and I’ve taken His grace for granted too long. Pray for me brothers 🙏🏼

Idk how you feel about saints but you should ask for the intercession of The Holy Theotokos, Holy Mary Mother of God. She will help you get closer with Christ and help you with your fight. Same with Saint Mary of Egypt she’ll help you too. Wish you the best God Bless.

I know it’s going to be uncomfortable but I think you might want to go to your dad. As a pastor I’m sure he’s used to being told about this topic. Honestly I’d do it just to get it off your chest. Get a couple older Christians who have beaten this thing, and some of your friends to keep you accountable. Praying for you brother

I feel the same way. I’m trying to stay away from any from of porn at all cost. But I’m trying to stay away from both.

Good for you bro ! I’m 28 now and would give up anything to have started this journey at your age. You have so much time left, enjoy your 20s without escaping!! Sit with the pain and discomfort, it will teach you everything.

Will power is weak at the beginning my brother. Don’t try to fight the lust instead try avoiding the things that make you lust.

Downloaded this app for the same reason, about to be 3 days with no urges. What helps me is checking this app out of habit. To remind my brain what the objective is. Discipline is what makes Bosses

Welcome to the journey bro. You deciding to fight the addiction is a choice most guys don’t make. God hasn’t left your side. He’s waiting on you to choose Him. There is nothing that can separate us from His love. I’m praying for you bro. You got this!

I think when I was a teenager he suspected I was doing it and talked to me about it a couple times, but he doesn’t know it’s still ongoing or the extent of the situation
