How do I overcome?
My addiction to masturbation and lust has consumed many aspects of my life, even leading to the end of a relationship that I never expected would end. I try to fight this battle on my own, but I often find myself failing. I’m not sure if it’s due to a lack of self-discipline or something else, but I continually falter. I am striving to place my trust in the Lord to help me with this situation; however, every time I relapse, I overthink my shortcomings and feel like I’m not good enough, leading me to believe that I’ll never overcome this issue. I lose hope often and sometimes struggle with faith, but I genuinely believe that one day I can be free from this challenge in my life. I remain optimistic and hopeful, and I will continue to do my best to make progress each day, even if it’s just a little.
I am in the same boat. Me and my girl were together for 4 years. We went long distance for a few months and that sent me spiraling into porn addiction. By the time we saw each other again I felt like a stranger to her. She ended up breaking up with me which sucks but is also the best thing that could have happened to me. Sometimes God’s lessons are tough but it’s important to thank him for giving you the courage to go on. As for self discipline i think we can all say we struggle with that on this app. All we can do is keep each other accountable and try to rebuild our minds that we have torn apart through sin.
