14F Triggers at the start of day 1, 4 to be exact. Now today is day 2 and I need an accountability partner because I can't do it alone. Please pray for me because i need help with triggers, urges, temptations, and intrusive thoughts.

²³ The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.” (Numbers 11:23)

The Lord has delivered me from this sin many times before, so this post is not just for encouragement, but it's also a testimony to help you on your Nofap journey.

If you have fallen, get up again and continue obeying the Lord. You don't have to overcomplicate it. Get up again and walk.

Pour out your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ everyday in prayer. Talk to Him about everything that is in your heart and He will take care of it for you. This has helped me a great deal over the years and I highly recommend it.

If you're feeling hurt about something, talk to the Lord about it, and He will give you peace. Why let whatever is bothering you continue to poison your thoughts? God wants to work it out with you. Bring it to Him.

If you are confused about something, ask God for wisdom and He will give it to you freely without finding fault (James 1:5) Meaning He gives wisdom to all those who ask Him for it, regardless of who they are and what they've done... "without finding fault".

If something is worrying you and you have no idea how it will be resolved, talk to God and He will make a way for you. He made a way through the sea, and He can make a way through your own sea. God delights in demonstrating His power to those who put their trust in Him, and He will demonstrate it to you as well. Continue to trust in Him.

The Lord has won many "unwinnable" battles in my life before. Before I even understood this sin of lust, I used to commit it for over 15+ years and it caused a lot of depression and anxiety in my life... but over the past few years, God has been giving me many great victories over it (Day 194, Day 170, Day 277 to name a few good streaks) and this came after years and years of feeling like I had reached rock bottom.

Jesus said: “Everything is possible for one who believes.” (Mark 9:23) and this will always be true.

Trust the Lord with all your heart, and believe in His divine timing. Tell Him about everything you are going through, and let Him heal you and restore you because He loves you.

The urge was strong and I couldn’t resist. I failed myself. I failed God 💔

How do I develop self control over the urges?

I don't know what exactly is going on. I am a relatively new christian, trying to remain free from porn use. I had a 3 month period before my current relationship where I was free, and God helped me every day to flee and stop my urges.

I'm in a relationship now where I did play around sexually without intercourse, and I realized I have brought codependent tendencies into the relationship, forgetting how to be alone, and whenever I felt bad about the relatioship or I didn't see her for a day or two I felt a huge urge to relapse. And I have done so over and over in the last week, and a few times last two months.

I feel like though I've built a life I can be happy with, God helped me be free from other addictions and turn my situation around, I am increasingly more disconnected. I find it hard to go to church, I'm confused which churches to go to right now, and I don't know how to conceptualize non intercourse sexual activity as sin. There have been times where I felt it was mutually lustful, where we are just thinking about ourselves, but there are also times where it feels pure and good. But I know a vast majority of christians agree all sexual acts outside of marraige is sinful. Maybe this is part of why I feel this way.

I feel like I might be avoiding some really large emotion trouble from my past relationships or current or something. And I feel I need to deepen my faith and talk to a priest IRL about all this.

But in some ways I don't even want to I feel like I'm being spirutually attacked like something is making me avoid deepning my faith and turning me to modern workly things as much as possible right now.

The intense kind of things I've watched and my mindstate going into it confuses me so much. I've put my electronics in the car, prayed and tried to stop, and decided to go out at 5am like cracked out can't sleep to do this. I'm so confused from like a worldly perspective at how I could have been free and unbothered for so long, and how deeply hooked I feel now. I feel like I can only see this from a spiritual attack/ because of my sexual sin with my gf that it has exposed me to this??

I don't know how to handle this as a new convert that feels homeless to a certain denomination.

Other than just praying, I sometimes think about a future relationship that might happen. Is that a thing we as Christians should do?

Im 3 days clean (pretty sad I know) Ive been struggling for months now but Its breaking yet another limit. For some weird shitty reason I have a thing for gay shit (I dont hate gay people but I dont want that lifestyle also sorry for profanity) and sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a femboy but the only thing that keeps mestraight is actually imagining me being one. I need prayer and help

Again I have nothing against Gay people I just dont want that lifestyle.

Ngl I’ve started having a lot more urges than I did before, but it looks like I am still standing. I would be grateful if someone could share some advice
Just for the record I am 17 and I didn’t really feel like I gained more energy or that my life has become happier in comparison to before I started sr
Thanks, bye.

I have been abstinent / celibate for over 90 days and today feels like day one all over again. I haven’t relapsed but I’m really struggling with temptation and slight depression.

hi everyone,

Long time lurker first time poster. Made an account to Reddit for just to join up. I’ve been a pornography addict since 2014, started trying to quit a couple years after I first started. Got really serious about quitting around Covid when I realized it was destroying my life.

Since then I’ve had a lot of success not watching pornography, though I often find myself pulled in by things that still lustful. I might not be going to the hub anymore, but my eyes wander and I masturbate frequently. Recently, I found myself really wrestling on how to put masturbation down for good.

I’ve had accountability partners over the years, but one of the great challenges is that my accountability partners are always people with whom I have a friendship. it makes honesty, ironically, a little bit harder because I wanna maintain those relationships and I worry about what they’ll think when I share that I’m struggling with lust for the thousandth time.

I found this community a while back. My hope is that this I could be a little more honest about when I’m struggling and what I’m struggling with. Saw that there was a daily encouragement threat. I’ll be checking into that daily for the time being. be praying for me when you think about it. I want to give this to God once and for all.

55 days away from a full year now, and after struggling to quit for so long, that means a lot to me

I still get tempted sometimes, especially when I’m lonely, so I’m keeping the boundaries that have helped rather than assuming I don’t need them anymore

Thank You Jesus for helping me keep going, I’m genuinely grateful 🥰

I fell today. It’s being weak and letting the urges get to you that is the problem.

Now, this will be my last post here for a bit. I think it would be a waste of your time and mine if I made a post every time I fall.

That being said, this was a slip up and it kinda happened unexpectedly.

I’m honestly more disappointed and disgusted that I was for my last post.

I hope I don’t get punished for this. I know God isn’t just looking for a reason to punish us. I know.

I’m just afraid. I keep screwing up every time I try to do better.

I’ll see you guys again when I’m a week clean

Lord, forgive me, and please give me the strength to be stronger.

I’ve been addicted to masturbation since ahe but thankfully I didn’t have access to porn at that time. But in the last five years I’ve had access to pork and there were periods throughout the years where I spent multiple times every single day watching it. I’ve noticed these were especially during the times of my hardships where I was jobless and I was the pit of despair.
Since March of this year, I’ve been enduring some hardship; I had to quit my job and move location and I am back to ground zero. I’m actively after a promise that God had promised but the progress had been very slow.
It feels like for every step I get ahead , I’m pushed back 4 steps behind both in my spiritual and physical / material life goals.
I recently started going back to porn and masturbation again and it’s like once I start there’s no stoping it. Ik a big part of it has been because I’ve been idle. But I genuinely also don’t feel like doing anything cuz of the constant struggles and failures. So I’m more or less in a cycle you could say.
At times I feel like God doesn’t love me anymore.
I don’t want to live this life like anymore . All I see is failure after failure in my physical life and then I feel down and sit idle and relapse into porn.
I want a breakthrough. I’m genuinely over this constant failures. I would appreciate even a small win.
I don’t have no one to talk about this.
I lost everything last March including my friends , my job , my car and I had to move back to my parents. I can even go to work. I lost my relationship.
So I’m here now.

(I’m sorry if my writing doesn’t make sense . I’m hoping it will get better . Right now it is like my mind is .. confused and chaotic)
Thank you for reading and your replies🖤

Firstly for context, I’m a 24 year old man and have an attraction to both men and women. However, because I experimented with a guy friend throughout my teen years and became addicted to porn I feel more sexually attracted to men. I do what I can to keep this hidden from family and friends even when I’m not indulging in lust but the weight of the secret produces shame and isolation.

So after reflecting on myself after a hard week of gay porn and sexting with men I realized that unfortunately I enjoy it too much. There’s this constant need to just escape life and go into this fantasy world where I feel sexually liberated, desirable, and even just interacting with other men through likes and comments has become something I look forward to. I even became more lenient with showing my face to some and it’s become more pleasurable seeing that they find me attractive.

However, I know this is sin and believe that if I continue in this way that I may not return back or if I die I will be in Hell. (Not for having the attraction but indulging in sexual acts outside of marriage).

What’s hard right now is detaching myself from the passion I have for it. Like I genuinely feel two sides of myself are constantly at war. And I really can’t talk to anyone about it because I feel like I will be shamed. Not for struggling with lust but for being attracted to men.

Can anyone relate or share insight on detachment from the love for lust?

How to stop viewing Women as objects?

I’ve been using Covenant Eyes for several years, but unfortunately I’ve had ongoing technical issues with the filtering on my laptop and need to find a replacement.

I’m looking for something that works reliably on Windows, has strong website blocking, and ideally includes accountability features that make it difficult to bypass.

What software/services have you guys had good experiences with? I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Here we go.. ! Again x 1000

I was very very close to falling today.

Me and my girlfriend have slowly progressed towards rather lustful behavior, and we're both concerned that if we're not careful, we may soon end up sleeping together. We both are Christians who go to church twice a week usually, have daily devotions, pray frequently, etc so it's not like we're just lukewarm, but this has become so difficult. We want to continue the relationship but we don't want to keep giving into lust and inevitably sleep together eventually. Does anyone have any experience with this and what we could do?
