Enjoying my afternoon walk. Getting out into the fresh air instead of staring into a screen makes you appreciate life so much more! God bless everyone!

Getting serious withdrawals rn. Anyway to do anything to help with them? Going to mcdonalds soon

It isn’t about going day to day to day staying away from porn and lust, it’s about growing closer to the Lord. I can’t do it by my own strength

Ho bisogno che qualcuno preghi per me. Sto guardando pornografia e vorrei smettere. Aiuto!

Today marks 43 days free from porn.

The biggest miracle isn't that I stopped watching porn.

It's that I stopped running from God every time I failed.

For years, shame kept telling me:

"Don't pray. Don't open your Bible. God must be disappointed in you."

That was the biggest lie I believed.

These past 43 days haven't been perfect. I've still been tempted.

But every time I run to Christ instead of hiding from Him, the temptation loses a little more of its power.

If you relapsed today, don't let shame keep you away from Jesus.

Run to Him, not from Him.

Please pray that I stay faithful.

I'll be praying for all of you too. ❤️

I just relapsed. It’s disappointing to undo my progress and keep falling back. I hate this cycle. I think I’m no longer stronger in will power to resist this thought of acting out. I become helpless when tempted and my will power dies. I started relying less on will power and started hiding electronics. Although this worked for a while but sometimes the urges hit me hard and don’t give me a chance to hide my electronics or think about my strategies of getting out from this loop.
I recently came across an advice of dealing with the root cause instead of escaping into corn. This is powerful for me and it completely resonates with my situation. I just fell today because of stress. I didn’t much to resolve it, but run to soft corn and ended up to going to the real one and acting out.
Please pray for me and any advice would be much appreciated!

I need help I need ways that you have used to over come urges and have a long streak as of now my life is on a crash course to hell and I need to get clean for good for my mental health and I keep relapsing and I’m not getting clean any more the longest I have been clean for is 4 days

I’ve had a lot of success helping my friend form church quit after she shared with me she was struggling with a masturbation addiction, if anyone needs help or just wants to chat feel free to msg me

Around 1 week ago i started doing bjj.Its not while sparring but when i arrive home i get strong erections especially after sparring with girls(M16).Also being barefoot erects me and i dont know what to do.

Was day 1 yesterday and day 2 today? Do people even read these? I don’t know, had a long day I wasn’t very tempted, still haven’t gotten back to my Bible but I am trying to build better habits. Taking care of myself and such, definitely over ate today but I had a lot of emotions and dates and hanging out with friends going on, I’ll need to get back on the diet tomorrow, I work a double so that’ll be easy not to eat much.
God bless, have a good night, and keep it hanging 🤙

Ive struggled with pornography (for 6 years) as well as using AI chatbots (for 2 years). Im in need of an accountability partner that can point me to Jesus and help me strengthen my relationship with the Lord.

I am struggling with both of these, it’s really weighing on my life and my relationship with God. I tend to get deeply immersed in AI chats and fictional characters, and it’s been difficult to pull myself away. I grew up with a lack of emotional attunement from parents so I often run to AI chats in hopes that it would satisfy my need for attention, validation, stimulation, and affection. I have moments where I feel so satisfied in my relationship with God but I always end up drifting away from Him, the one who can truly satisfy.

I would love if I can get some help, DM me please and thank you.

I have a long weekend ahead of me, which means I will have more free time on my hands. When I have free time, I am more likely to relapse. Pray for me to use the time given to me for productivity and not be idle. The enemy is indeed crafty, but God's grace is stronger.

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I relapsed and I really to talk with someone about things in my life.

So I started no fap recently and although I had failings I was making slow but steady progress. However, recently my vacation ended and I started college again. And I'm tired after college and my natural instincts tend to kick in and I tend to fap. Is there anyway to solve this problem?

My husband has been trying to quit porn for a long time. He's been reading through Reddit, joining different communities, and asking people who have successfully recovered for advice. He genuinely wants to change, and I'm so proud of him for not giving up.

I've decided to join him in this journey. I'm even using his Reddit account to reach out to more people, ask more questions, and gather as much advice and support as I can because we both want to give recovery our best shot.

If you've overcome this addiction or have helped someone who has, we'd be incredibly grateful for any suggestions, tips, or personal experiences. Even small pieces of advice could make a big difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for helping us through this journey.

Day 2. It was still hard, but we made it through together. Today we tried meditating for a while, did some therapy exercises, and went out for a walk just to talk openly. He shared how difficult this feels, and I listened without judging him. I reminded him that one bad habit doesn't define who he is and that I'm proud of him for choosing recovery. We both know this journey won't be easy, but seeing him genuinely try gives me hope, and today was a good day.

When I stay away from lust I start to realize just how stupid it is to look at that kinda crap. It’s all fake, I hope and pray to find genuine connection one day

I hope you guys can help me figure it out I know watching porn is bad and having de xxx before marriage too but why does god want me to wait when it’s a need like when I need to go to the toilet I can’t just hold it in you know I need to it’s the same thing with sex it’s like a human basic need even in some cases were people live in prison they offer prostitutes for them so that their needs get satisfied I don’t understand why god wants to punish me for having needs if it’s a human basic need

I fornicated while watching porn. Please pray for me

GUYS ITS BEEN A FEW DAYS SINCE I FELT LUST OR WHATEVER BUT
I stumbled across a post about “what’s the worst subreddit of all time” then I clicked on each subreddit from morbid curiosity and there was this one sub where there were all sorts of weird horny stories and I read a few I got a bodily reaction to them. Idk if it’s a mortal sin I’m not attracted to them at least idk.

I have sexual thoughts about acquaintances and friends, and it's worse because I watched an anime with lesbian sex.

I can't keep doing this, it's disgusting, I find semen disgusting

I used to feel so much guilt but now I hardly will, I haven’t been reading or praying as much as I should or as much as I used to. My addiction is getting worse and I feel lost cause I want to be a better Christian and a better man but this addiction is too much for me to overcome.

Hello fellow people, really appreciate all those who are trying to better themselves on this sub and Share what works for them , it is motivating and uplifting.

I too would like to share a practice, which is very underrated but is honestly one of the most important pieces of the puzzle 🧩 and that is TO LOWER YOUR GAZE, BOTH OFFLINE AND ONLINE. Your socials should be clean from any explicit content, if something pops up click not interested with time your feed will become more cleaner.
In real life protect your gaze from the opposite sex. Your current/future spouse deserves that not a random stranger.

Your eyes are the gateway to your heart, guard it.

This practice along with God’s special mercy is what has keep me years free.

Trust me try it, a very solid system to go by.

I used to be a goal keeper, many moons ago. And when you let in a goal, make a mistake, it can feel like a crushing weight. Like all 10 other players on the pitch are blaming you. Like you've irrevocably screwed up. Easy to let that get to you and ruin the rest of the game. The mistakes pile up and make it worse.

But any time I got that look of defeat on my face, the team Captain always took the ball out of the net and told me "it's nil nil mate, we go from here."

Eventually I kept that optimism for myself. They score again? Doesn't matter, 0 - 0 we go again. Come back with the same focus, same intensity, same game.

Nofap is a little like being a Keeper. You can be doing great for a long time, but when that moment comes and you mess up...It only takes one. But you can't focus on those times. Move on, do better, refocus and do it till you get it right.

I've let in waaaaaay too many goals as of late. I think it's time I try and put an end to that.

It's nil nil, We go again boys.
