After 22 months without P and M

Discussion in 'Success Stories' started by Barnabas_, May 15, 2019.

  1. Me too man. Actually, God can be anyone new father, and He is a perfect father. That helps to fix the relationship with biological father and be a father to your own kids. God loves us like a father loves his child and that helps a lot for relationships and restoring confidence from a broken childhood. Cause when a child had only one parent in the family then it lowers confidence a lot.
    A good movie about fatherhood and being a father than you didn't have is Courageous (2011). Heres and end speech of the movie, but the whole movie is good -

    You are right. I need Christ every day. He is the source of my strenght.

    "...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." (Hebrews 12).

    Watched 2 days ago a film you mentioned:

    >A good movie about fatherhood and being a father than you didn't have is "Courageous" (2011).

    Thanks. Great one. Can you recommend other 1-2 inspirational films like that (do not have to be about fatherhood)?

    One of the best films like this for me is "Hacksaw Ridge"

    Liked also "God's not dead".
     
  7. Well I can suggest movie "Like Arrows" (2018) its more about family hood. And movie "Overcomer" (2019) Its pretty good quality movie too.
    Actually theres a lot of movies but sometimes smallest poorest movies makes deepest impact. Its like that not super beautifuly made girlfriend but who beauty almost only you can see and she's most beautiful in your world.

    For me movies like that -unpopular but touching would be 1) FLYWHEEL(2003) 2) Grace Card(2011) 3) Run The Race (2019)

    Thanks for recommendation, I appreciate it. So far watched Grace Card, really good! :)

    Yesterday realized that for this moment, porn really have disapeared from my life (thinking back about it - porn is disgusting). It is a miracle and pure grace. It is just as if it is not existing to me, have not had urges/temptation to watch it in the last 1.5 year (although a few times there was a temptation to masturbate, always to release tension/stressful situations - fortunatelly have worked it out in a different/healthy way).I pray that it will last forever and this dark period of sexual addiction to P and M is gone for good. At the same time am aware to stay humble in this recovery process: "So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!"

    This is an interesting online course (free of charge), helping with porn addiction:

    My observation is that addiction like this makes people very self-centered. The more freedom I discover the more I focus on others (and less on myself, how I look, how people look at ME).

    It means that feelings like compassion to others, empathy, understanding - are more and more present.
    Instead of "me" and my ego being a center of the world in this process I learn how to serve/help others.
    This is a process and still needs to be learnt, but it is much better that when being in addiction to P & M.

  14. Good streak man but you are still second. Jesus have bigger streak.

    Can say that you can look on wikipedia all Hendrick brothers movies and they are all good worth watching.

    He is the author of this streak. Jesus Christ, I am powerless without Him.
    I tried on my own strenghts to stop both P & M for around 20 years, but I couldn't.

    Like Psalmist said in Psalm 29:1
    I ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

    Thanks:)
