I lost my life and cant get it back

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Brokenwings27, Mar 31, 2021.

  1. Oh, wow! Thanks so much for this! You've really opened my eyes! What a revelation! [Too much?]
     
  2. I think honestly you need to forgive yourself. If it was as simple as feeling guilt for sin you would have felt that way about watching pornography in the first place. You allowed yourself to reach a level where you violated yourself in the worst way and mentally scarred yourself. Not saying seeking god isn’t the right thing to do but we tend to seek god mostly when we are in times of great distress and not so much when we feel everything is good. God has already forgiven you but the more you obsess over what happened the more power you are giving it. You need to realize the mistake disassociate it from you as a person and start rebuilding the life you wanted before. It is the only solution. If there was a mind eraser or time machine available believe me I’d be right there with you fixing my mistakes.

    Yes, I think it's enough, thanks for pointing out.

  4. You are not your actions. While horrible and shattering as it may have been this was only a small moment in your life. You are making it a larger and larger moment the more you obsess. You went against your standards and your beleifs and feel like a degenerate which only really shows you actually aren’t one otherwise you wouldn’t feel so bad. The devil is telling you to keep feeling the way you feel so now you just have to choose god(forgiveness and change) or the devil(wallow in self pity and loathing)

    Ok let's address the issue step by step. First step, tell me what fetishes did you actually carried out and are ashamed of ? Go in detail, let it all out. No judgments here.

    Youre definitely right about this. I cant deny that. My job is to put this experience in its proper place. The one lie of the devil that i keep believing is that God holds it against me the same way he does. God wants to santicfy me and theres no santifcation with condemnation

  7. Exactly the devils goal in all this was to destroy you and make you feel like a sub-human. He may have one a small battle but he won’t win the war. Bury him and bury your transgressions because that’s where they belong god doesn’t say I will save you and make your sins more bareable. He washes them away and makes you a better new person. Go take your life back it’s yours and you deserve the good one god wants for you.

    You answered the solution to your own problem here. Your beliefs, well change them and leave past where it belongs, in the past. Every moment is an opportunity to become what you could be and about STDs bro get yourself checked. And common you had gay sex so what. A lot of straight girls have lesbian sex at least once so what, and even some guys. But now get over it and become the person you wanna be. Make the rest of your life the best of your life. Live strong and enjoy every moment.

    I cant deny it. This gives me peace that the problem is not the problem itself but how i figure out how to gain strength from it.
    Romans 8:35-39
    King James Version

    35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

    36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

    37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

    38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

    39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Ive been going back and forth with this struggle but i know the answer is in God and in peace. I am trying to stay on that side and build my house upon a foundation of rock

    I do. Sadly I feel like I cannot offer further advice beyond what others have given. Roady especially is worth listening to, he really knows what he's talking about!

    Yes but those were true feelings at the time. Its calmed down a lot, but some of it lingers. I guess the only thing im left wondering is how am i supposed to take delight in anything knowing i did what i did? It kind of feels like its ruining my further potential.

    Ive learned to stop labelling as much and predicting the future with such assurance but rather observe my thoughts and feelings about it and thats helped.

    Stuff like "ill never be the same, ill never enjoy anything again, im done"

    Thats how i may feel at the time but its been proven to me that some of those feelings can lift and have subsided.

    Now the most i do is question the future and what this all means for it

    Will do. I appreciate you trying to help. Some of the things you said im starting to come back and realize. I think i just needed to delve into the dungeon slay the dragon and come back to home base. Im starting to return back to myself which is the greatest feeling and all i could ever ask for.

    Look up the tikkun hakali or pm me for a link. It’s a Jewish prayer recitation and I’m not Jewish but it’s helped me a lot with guilt. It brings some peace

    Yes im starting to gain autonomy over my feelings, well being, and thoughts again.

    Something i had lost complete control over when it happened.

    This alone is a good sign. Im not in helpless dispair i can actually guide my thoughts and feelings at least.

    I do get pulled down sometimes but its not as bad as it was before. That was simply unbearable
