    Hey guys, sorry for letting you down the recently. I just didn´t feel good and everything is kind of weird these days. I can´t really motivate myself to do somethin on I´m also starting to eat unhealthy.

    my afternoons are also pretty strange... I normally get 7h 30min sleep but today i napped 3 hours in the afternoon.. I also had a very urge.

    Hope you all are doing good.

    lets try to "control" that ZERO

    - it was one of my favorite lines ive read by some user on here ,....
     
  4. It's OK, what matters is that we are confessing when it happens. The goal is obviously to abstain from PMO, but we slip, and when we do, we know that we have Christ who will forgive us:
    If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 8,9
    Our natural tendency is to sin, and when we have used sinful actions as an escape from pain, stress etc., then it's especially difficult to not sin, so we have to do a couple of things. First, believe that there is a better way, one that leads us to eternal life, and second, while we are adhering to this belief, make a conscious decision to take the pain and suffer through the "cleansing" period until it becomes a little easier. Hopefully we have by then chosen alternative things to occupy our time with, like education, physical fitness, cultivating our family relationships, making new friends, working towards success in our business lives, and those kinds of things. It's day 5 today in my new 30 day challenge, and I hope that more fellow Christians on this forum will join me in this challenge!

    Thanks for those words Fanchman. From now on I´m going to start posting on a daily basis again.

    Day 0 - first day after my relapse, and of course, it´s a little bit rough. I went to the GYM today, it was really hard motivating myself for it, yet I´m kind of proud I pushed through it. I´m working out a new routine for myself which will be helpful for me on journey to abstain PMO. I did confess to my sin, but now it´s time to actually better myself!

    I relapsed again... now I feel like I´ve murdered or raped somebody... my whole life is not going well at the moment... I really need to get my act together something is going fundamentally wrong.
     
  7. Try to put your finger on the source of the pain that is leading you to PMO. That may help, because then you can pray specifically for that burden to be lifted. What I have found is that verbalizing the pain and struggle somehow can take a lot of the load off, if you don't have Christian brothers or sisters to confide in, do it here on this forum, or just say it out loud to God. My new avatar is a special place on a hilltop that I frequently visit to pray to God.
    And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned. Numbers 14:40
     
  8. Day 7 for me today on my 2nd most recent "30 day challenge"
    Working through marriage difficulties, working through career difficulties, working through difficulties with my kids, it all seems to be struggle these days!
    If this was the only life we had, what horror! There must be a better place!!!
    He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 12:25

  9. Day 8 on my current journey to sobriety. Abstinence does create a clearer mind over time, and can improve thinking and confidence. The last time I PMO'd I barely made it out, I felt so disgusted with myself, and almost went down the old spiraling vortex. The hardest part for me is going to sleep unless I'm dead tired, because that is when I would act out, right before bed. So, I'm staying up a little later now, which makes it hard to get up as early as I want to.
    But the insomnia (hopefully temporary) is well worth it, because the horrible guilt of failing over and over is gone. There have been so many lost days, weeks, months and years of time that I could have done better things than lust. Thanks to Jesus Christ, He is merciful and will accept us at any time, it's never too late!

  11. Day 14 of my second 30 day challenge. I slipped unfortunately right after I finished my first challenge, but got right back on board and started another one. The desire to watch porn has diminished greatly this last week. My mind has been on other things, thank God for this! I hope this will continue. There was a period I just had to force myself through the pain. I know there will be many more episodes of this, but it will become a little easier over time, I know that. The Lord is showing me things lately. He is showing me that life is short and precious, and we are complete IDIOTS to waste our time on PMO! He is showing me that a man has to live with PURPOSE, and if we don't know what that purpose is, then we better be searching for some answers!
    The Lord has a plan for all of us, but it is up to us to PURPOSE to live out this plan. Every one of us is uniquely gifted with certain talents, uniquely created and uniquely placed in a certain spot on this planet to witness to Him, to serve mankind, and to walk a righteous path.
