In need of prayer

Just hit the two week mark myself, and I'm about the same place you are at. I'll keep you in my prayers, just keep me in yours.

 

God is always with you. Keep going! I'll pray for you!

 

I recently gave up during week three and let me tell you, it DID NOT have to happen. Remember that you and God are in control. With the strength God has given you these past two weeks you are more than capable, believe it!

 

I'm in my third week too and things are getting hard. You are in my prayers brother.

Stay strong and clean!

 

Relax a little guys. I think praying is great, but I want to remind you that God loves you regardless. I think about my own experiences over the years and I believe the times that I've felt his love the most is when I was not at my best. I know I've been blessed despite my many imperfections. Think about the end goal here and recognise and realise that overcoming this problem will make you a better person. Probably happier too. A person who has self control. The benefits outweigh the negatives I promise, but try not to beat yourself up too much. Everything this site mentions about the psychological and physiological affects of maintaining this long term addiction are true because I've experienced and am experiencing most of these issues. Kind of weird for me to say this (especially since I'm claiming to be only a one day NoFap'r), but as 42 year old man with long periods of abstinence from pornography at times I know I'm more at peace, make better decisions and am happier when I'm not using pornography. My addiction has resurfaced since my divorce almost 2 years ago. A lack of discipline and the urge for pleasure derived from masturbating and viewing porn has reactivated my addiction. I know I use porn as a coping mechanism for loneliness or as a way to deal with stress. But I know that I will grow and be happier if I can return to a state of abstinence. I also know for a fact that my sex life will improve. I've developed an inability to ejaculate because of excess FAP'ing which has been embarrassing for me and sometimes affected the self esteem of my partners. My current girlfriend thinks there is something wrong with her and that she's not attractive. She knows I have a problem with porn, but doesn't understand the physiological affects of this addiction. I'm sad that I'm hurting her, and sad that this addiction affects my desire for a real life beautiful woman. Battling and persevering will make me better and you too. Problems and issues will and are going to happen, but you and I both will receive benefits and blessings for attempting to change and gain control of ourselves.
