It’s kind of weird normally I would be very tempted, but I am not after three days of not thinking about porn. It is very easy to keep going every time. My mind is going back I am trying to switch my focus on something different and it kind of is too easy. I’m feeling like the true lust. The true tempting hasn’t reached me and if it will, it could be a very hot battle and I’m not sure if I’m able to win it I feel like the true fight hasn’t started yet. I have the problem that I can’t understand why I need to quit, but I know it is bad. I know it is not normal to watch porn and it has many benefits to not watch it
1 Corinthians 6:18 it says flee, not fight, but flee. It means run away from the temptation. Desire is built into all of us from birth but if we start saying "I have to fight it” or ”if I just don’t think about it it’ll go away”, you’re going to fail. Point being Lust is one of the most deceiving, dressed up pretty, conniving sins there is. It’s how the enemy lures us in by thinking well it’s natural but then we begin to fantasize and fixate on the thought or perverse act and it pulls us down. It’s like showing someone a jar full of cookies and saying now don’t eat any until after dinner and you know how the rest goes.
