Hello everyone. I am new to the group. But i have been on nofap for a while now (47 days). I need help on how i can deal with withdrawals (mainly depression and anxiety). These feelings have been making me question my faith at times which makes me sad. I have been feeling this since day 0. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Pray, brother. And I will pray for you. You are not in this alone.

I wonder why those feelings lead you to question your faith. Maybe take some time to see where they really come from, they dont appear from

Are you seeing a counselor or do you have a spiritual director? Either one could help you with these issues. But one word of caution: when you are looking for a spiritual director, be certain it is someone who is open minded about sex addictions. I made the mistake of not vetting one of my directors, and he treated me like scum after I brought up my porn addiction.

Adoration. Mother Teresa wants me to tell you to go to Adoration. Daily if possible. Mama Mary says listen to St Teresa.

Chanting the holy names of God and praying the 15 Decades Rosary will purify you.

What do you mean by purify? Praying brings us closer to God, but it must be part of a sacramental life.

The heart is material contaminated and must be cleansed. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.

That is the heresy of dualism.
