    Hey guys, just wanted to make this a short story on how I broke free from a PMO addiction and how you can overcome it.

    I was PMO’ing for 7 years of my life, and not realizing how bad it was affecting me. Some of the negative effects were: anxiety, depression, weak, angry, frustrated, and felt like a complete loser. This addiction felt like I was never going to break it even when I wanted to stop. That’s how bad it got, and it just got worser over time. I would waste hours just looking at vids until COVID hit.

    When COVID hit I transformed into someone that I’ve always wanted to become. I made a commitment to break this addiction and focus on improving the areas that I was weak in. So Istarted to meditate, do yoga, go outside, and read up on all these things that supposedly can cure this addiction. Well it did for only 38 days. After that I went back to my old self again to that loser that I was. Until I felt this heavy conviction in me which turned me towards God’s path.

    I gave it a shot, and I improved but I relapsed after 48 days. One day I saw this video on YouTube of a pastor talking about how he broke his porn addiction. He said that God is the only one who can set you free from it. You can do all the meditation, yoga, positive talk but at the end of the day it’s not enough because God is so powerful that he can cast any evil thing away from you in your life. I heard this voice inside my head telling me to go repent for all my sins at church, and tell someone that I can trust about this issue. I’m gonna be honest I never thought about going to church to discuss this problem with a priest at all, or telling my mom about this because I thought it was going to be extremely embarrassing. Well guess what I woke up that morning with this strong desire to listen to that voice. When I told my mom about it she completely understood what I was going through and was so supportive that she was willing to do anything to help me. Once I did that I felt like I just took a huge Boulder that weighed a ton off my back. The next thing I did was confess my sins to a priest and he was also supportive and gave me some great advice on how to overcome it. I kid you not when I left that church I was crying like a baby because I felt that love from God and I was now a completely different person. Ever since I confessed God has given me tremendous strength, and will power to resist temptations from the devil and I’ve now been clean for 4 months!

    God is the answer and the solution to all your problems your dealing with in life. Trust me he has blessed me with so many things that I’m just so thankful to have him in my life. I made a promise to him in that church that if he can help me become a better person and fix me that I’ll give him my heart. Ever since then he’s been with me every step of the way. Not gonna lie I’ve been tempted plenty of time but I know that if I pray God will fight the battle for me. PLEASE TURN TO HIM BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU!

    love you guys and I’m praying for you all

    I'm happy for you!

    I also found God in my nofap journey, more specifically when I broke a 100 plus streak. My initial idea was to do nofap and find some random girl to have sex with, my plans changed, and now I'm doing semen retention until I find a wife.

    God bless you.

    Yes I’ve been catholic my whole life but porn ruined my relationship with God so I felt isolated from him for a while. He’s brought me to the light and has changed me!

    Made a similar experience. Tried to quit porn on my own for 10 years. Went to confession on January 2, 2021. After that, I prayed the rosary with the intention of purity many times. You know they say Jesus can't resist to provide any grace when it is his mother asking him for. She asked purity for me. Today on Good Friday at 12:00 I will be reaching 90 days of no PMO. This wasn't my work.

    Amen brother, same thing here. I tried quitting many times before and always went back to it every time things got hard, but when I confessed the sin and what it did to me and prayed, all temptations weren’t tempting, and I also promised the Lord (something thich I was so afraid to do before) that I wouldn’t do it ever again, and since that day i can say I’m free!

    I just want to share some advice which helped me reach my 80-ish days. When you start feeling down; flatlining, don’t dismiss the feeling, embrace it, feel it fully, be sad, cry even but after that get back up and keep on pushing!

    I’m so happy to hear that bro that’s awesome. Yessir temptation can’t overcome us because at the end of the day we are soldiers for God and the kingdom of heaven. He’s going to give us the whole plate of armor to defeat evil.

    Brother, I'm so happy you found Jesus and God!! PMO/sexual sin was the black cloud that was in between us and Christ. Keep walking with him in all the days of your life, even though the rest of the world is not. Trust in Christ, you won't regret it, it will all be worth it!!!

    Happy that you found god and that you no longer suffer from PMO. This is something I needed to see. I have faith myself but I don’t go to church at all but have prayed very much to god to rid me of the social anxiety I deal with. PMO is something I’ve been addicted to for about 14 years and due to it I can only get weak erections. Told my mom about my issues and she told me to go to church just like you did. The inner voice inside has been telling me to go to church for a while but I just haven’t. I’ve just been ignoring the signs and I guess I’ve been afraid to go. Now that I see this post and see how much I can relate to it I know what I must do. Thanks for sharing your story. God bless you

  16. Well, my mother made me. So she's my God? Also, I feel like I'm doing good without him. Am I crazy?

    Well, in video it says that man can't create things like babies, puppies, trees etc. Sure.
    But man made God by writting Bible. So... If man can't make a tree but he can make a God. How much can I believe in that God? That God is made up and I believe less in him but believe more in trees.

    Well, I think this pattern of thought is naive
    .
    We wouldn't like to bring religion into this but I know for sure that God does exist.
    Let those who believe him, believe him.
    You can always ignore if you don't.

  18. Where did the paper come from that we wrote the bible on? It came from the tree. Or the skin of an animals back. And your Mother, where did she come from? Is she an accident? By mere chance a cell formed out of nothing? I'm sure you can see she is of inteligent design, not a mistake or a flaw of billions of years. We can see the wonders of new life explained through science but we cannot replicate it outside of Gods parameters. For example we can replicate conception in a test tube. But that is with Gods building blocks, a sperm and an egg. You cannot make these in a lab. If there is even a shred of possibility that there is a God. Do you not owe it to yourself to either prove or disprove it? I don't mean settling for a belief that he could or could not be. No, all you got to do is ask him. And have a look outside, open a bible and ask God to speak. Everything reflects a creator my friend. I will pray that God gives you open eyes and an open heart. If you seek you will find.

  19. Did you wish that the bible had been written by whom, by dogs? I don't understand why you are so sure but you insist on wanting answers. If you know that God does not exist, then why do you feel uncomfortable when someone decides to seek God? Live your life, and leave us alone.

  20. BozzoBond buddy, If God saved you in his mercy, can you not also show mercy to others? Please think about your choice of words and remember to be kind to all. We love because he first loved.
