I have not been keeping track very close, but I am abstaining from alcohol and sweets during this Lenten period. (I guess through the end of this month or so?) Still chugging along. Thanks for everyone's prayers! I am remembering you in prayer, too.

I wanna say I started reading Acts the other day, and Im a little lost but i just started, so hopefully as I get deeper into Acts Ill get a hold of it and understand whats going on! I hope you guys are doing well if you guys have any dilemmas post the up!
Thats good to hear , be careful! I had a cinnamon bun once so far this period, it was there on the kitchen table annd I was hungry..
For a helpful book on Acts, I highly recommend "The Untold Story of the New Testament Church" by Frank Viola. Excellent historical treatment which remains faithful to the Scripture.

Hey guys, sad to say that I had to reset my counter; Felt pretty dissapointed at first but I really want to quit this so I won't let the fact that I fell consume me. I've learned things that can tempt me and now I can avoid them, felt I let you down so sorry for that, but with the help of God and you guys I know I can beat this. I'm feeling confident and good now that I have written this
Hello, guys! Sorry that I was absent these days. I had a very busy week at work. I'm still being able to resist, and it's been a while since I stayed one week out of PMO. It feels really good, it seems that I'm taking control over my desires. You guys are on my prayers everyday. Today I'll start reading Ephesians. @1StP412 keep going! Our loving Father loves us no matter what! The closer we get to him, it gets less difficult to resist sin. We are all together on this, brother! I hope you have an excellent weekend! God bless you all
Daaaaannnnnngggggg.... Its all good, I feel for you, just keep going, sometimes our fall can be motivating to get back up, and Im glad you feel that way!
Thats good to hear, Im happy your still here and keeping strong, Good luck with work and definitely get involved in the bible cause it will help to build up your faith and will help you get your mind off PMO, God bless you
Day 12. Hope you guys are doing well this Sunday Father God I keep pray that accompany @Tao Jones @Looking4Freedom @skywalkersbo @1StP412 for this coming week that you keep them strong and at peace, help them with their fasting as well have them harness their self control over their bodies, and I pray in Jesus Name, amen Guys I wanna ask if you can keep me in Prayer, last night I had a super strong temptation that got me going crazy, but thank God I did not give in, You guys really are a blessing and do help me out a lot, this fellowship we have here is powerful and amazing so thank you guys.
Great to hear, @LonelyStrength . You are not alone in this! I am standing firm on my commitment to no alcohol and no sugar. The disciple's life is one of routine periods of fasting. This is a good practice!
hey guys, I'm new here and I'd like to join this 40 day fasting commitment too, I am inspired with a lot of things you guys wrote. Yesterday I felt really hopeless, I have been trying to stop PMO multiple times but always relapsed. However discovering Nofap and the active community around it gives me some courage. Please pray for me guys, I need al the help I can . Of course I'll be praying for everyone in this thread too.
