Day 25

Nearly a month into this thing and I’ve had it pretty easy for the most part. However, over the last few days I’ve found myself drifting off into lustful thoughts too often, and allowing myself to linger in them too long. And well, today I had my strongest urge I’ve faced since I downloaded Quittr. In the past, when I’ve had an urge there would be this pit in my stomach along with the knowledge that I WAS going to give in at my next opportunity. That’s what I felt today, and it scared me. Well, right now is what would be my next opportunity, but instead of entertaining such thoughts, I figured I’d write out how I was feeling and you know what, it’s helped. Still, I’d appreciate your prayers. Not just for tonight, but that I would get out of whatever plateau I’m in. My ultimate goal is to be free. I don’t want to live in fear that if I accidentally see the wrong picture, it will awaken some deep dark desire in me. I want to be free of all of it, and my next step is getting out of this little rut and getting my head back in the game.

This is exactly where I’m at right now as well. I have just accepted with God that it is going to be difficult but that I trust He will get me through it. My mind still remembers how living out this sin felt in the past. Full of emptiness, shame, and unworthiness. This equates to: Distant from God. I don’t want to go back, I don’t care if I have to pray all night long. Refuse and turn away, when you get these thoughts make an active decision to leave whatever is causing them. Social media, boredom, environments where girls are being less than modest, whatever it may be. Leave. Flee. I do it once a day at this point, it’s become reflexive now. I’m praying for you, brother! The Lord has been so good to the both of us, He will continue to be so!
