Why can't I mean it

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by goodnice 2.0, Oct 17, 2019.

  1. After 8 months of nofap, now I have relapsed 5 times. 3 were this past night and morning and they were all with porn. After each relapse, I would listen to a sermon about purity or attacking porn. But in my heart of hearts, did I really want to quit? Could I really say, "okay that was the last time, im done with this"? … No

    The Bible says "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to life and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death". I don't currently have that Godly sorrow, even though I want to have it. Instead I had this fake temporary worldly sorrow like "uh oh, I did something bad. I'm gonna have to pay the consequences later"

    I haven't felt that strong conviction and heart transformation to WANT to really quit.

    I want to be able to say with absolute confidence: I will never watch it in my whole life again. @Road To Freedom Finally touched on this: My heart isn't in it!

    After this last relapse, I feel like I destroyed some part of me. My brain is now fried and foggy and I have descended.. I can't continue like this

    Idk how to cultivate that strong desire to never go back to pmo. It seems only hitting rock bottom can generate that desire. Please pray for me, and I will pray for you that you are struck with a burning desire to quit, a desire that will overcome any urge to relapse. Please Lord, help

    Write down what porn has cost you, either directly in terms of time and opportunities wasted, or standard of living with regards to lack of desire, drive, passion and happiness. Once you finish writing them down read it over and over, then again every morning and night, this should help you to recognize porn for the enemy that it is. Go to war with the enemy

  3. Those 8 months are still there in your ”progress”, get back up and keep abstaining, might be a reset, but dont give in!
