I make it anywhere from 6-12 days without doing it, and then I relapse. It is always the most difficult 6-10 days after stopping. I gave in. I am disappointed in myself yet again. I hate that I am giving into temptation. I continue to try and pray to Christ asking for the wisdom which I know He gives me but yet I sin again. I feel like He is super disappointed in me. I feel hopeless. This community is awesome and I tend to see some amazing success stories— I am asking for prayers to help turn my struggle into my success and for strength to overcome my sin, so I can then help others.
I am praying for you Mikey. I am right in the same place as you. I have learned in this walk having someone to talk to face to face makes a difference. James tells us to “confess our sins one to another.” It’s hard but God tells us to do things for a reason. I have been following a binge-purge cycle for too long and some days I only see my sin, but Jesus sees me as his child. He see the same in you. Do not give in to the temptation of letting the enemy convince you Christ does not love you or is disappointed. Repent and get back up! You got this brother. “Lead me in Thy truth and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.” Psalm 25:5
