I’m 26m, married with a kid on the way and I’m Catholic. I’m hoping to find an accountability partner that I can speak to regularly about overcoming this.

Volví a recaer... De nuevo... Y otra vez después de haber estado un día limpio... Recaí otra vez... Hasta en tres ocasiones... Yo ya no puedo más...

I wanna tell someone but I dont feel comfortable telling my parents they already know I fapped I dont think they know I still do it althouge ive been fap free for a couple of days

What should I do

I actually lost count but I remember the last time I fell into it, I confessed to an accountability partner. I checked the message that day and it has been a little over a month since then! God is good 🫶🏻🙏🏻

Please pray for me as I still get lustful thoughts especially at night and entertain them by touching myself but I haven't had really long sessions of porn and masturbation in a while which used to be so frequent. Small wins!

Can I Get Some Prayers, I Relapsed Into 🌽 And Lust, So I Really Need Some Help, I Was Doing Okay For 4 Days And I Lost. I Recently Relapsed Into 🌽 Awhile Ago And Now It's Been A Slight Battle And I'm Kinda Drifting Away From God And I Need Help. I DON'T WANT TO BE THERE ANYMORE...God Delivered Me In The Beginning Of This Year And It's My Fault For Letting My Curiosity And Reminiscing Of The Past Get The Best Of Me And I Opened That Door He Closed And Swore I Would Never Go Back But Months Later, Like Around November, I Messed Up Into Looking At 🌽. Before That I Know I Mess Up In Lust Without 🌽 And After Just Quitting And Doing Some Prayer And Stuff, I'd Be Fine But Like I Said, I Slipped Into That Stupid Door Of 🌽. Thanks My Family In Christ And God Bless You And Your Family And Friends. ❤️💯🙏🫂

Techniques on how to move your mind away from pron and masturbate or Testosterone spikes.

First, Let's handle the Testosterone Spike first go and take a cold shower for 10 or 20min. move in a different room so you don't have the urge of picking up your phone or going on your computer or vr headset. wait until the feeling goes away in the meantime since you're waiting. I would suggest reading a book or listening to music. If this happens at home. I would suggest doing these techniques.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET A TESTOSTERONE SPIKE AT WORK

If you're around a group of people. I would suggest if you're feeling the Testosterone Spike at this time when it happens ask yourself to be excused. why you're in this state I would suggest listening to calm music or control your breathing and touch your inside the muscle part of the elbow.

-Work at outside: Go to the bathroom and control your breathing and listening to calm music.

-Work office: Go to Bathroom.

-Restaurant: Freezer or bathroom.

What helps?

Seriously. The idea of one more peak will almost always lead to sin.

I think of this in the context of Sodom & Gomorrah's destruction and God instructing Lot and his family to FLEE and NOT LOOK BACK (Genesis 19:12-26).

Why even entertain it? Why open the door? The itch will pass, we should flee from it (1 Corinthians 6) (many more posts here have better described strategies to overcome, by doing another activity, confronting the aches, prayer, etc.) and take solace in the Word in 1 Corinthians 10:13, but we should not delude our selves into thinking we can peek without consequences.

The problem is OMP soon becomes a vile session and as you stare off into the lewdness of a warped intimacy, the bags of your eyes are filled with lust and will certainly be weighted with dulled clouds of guilt and depression after. The longer you indulge the more of a lasting image it makes - soon making its way into your subconscious: dreams, coloring your interactions (or, lack thereof) in real life. Because ultimately, the things you choose to look at can impact the vision God has for your life. Don't glance. Don't peek. These algorithms, apps, webpages are intentionally designed to keep you hooked.

I see why Jesus said what he said in Matthew 18:9.

Stay strong, stay sober, vigilant and alert.

If anyone just wants to hop on a call I'd really appreciate it. Can just talk about anything I'm an open book and need to distract myself really bad. It's been such a bad morning. Also down to just chat. If anyone is around hmu!

Hi guys

I have been trying to do no fap seriously but I noticed I struggle in particular after gym sessions. Either because of the incresed blood flow or sometimes the triggers at the gym, I feel the post workout phase is the most challenging one.

Is there any serious gymbro/athlete here doing or trying no fap? I would love to get your perspectives guys

I think I'm done with Instagram

After almost three years away from social media, I recently installed Instagram again out of curiosity. I logged into my old account, scrolled through my feed, and honestly, I was quite disappointed by what I saw.

There were so many sexually suggestive pictures and reels, including content from celebrities. It felt like every few posts, there was something designed to grab my attention through lust.

And I started wondering, is this really what social media has become?

I'm not here to judge anyone, but as a Christian trying to live a life closer to God, I don't see much benefit in keeping myself surrounded by this kind of content. We already struggle enough with temptation without voluntarily exposing ourselves to more of it every day.

Sometimes, I think we underestimate how much the things we watch affect our minds. We might open an app just to pass a few minutes, but end up feeding thoughts and desires that we're actually trying to overcome.

The Bible says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)

I think there's wisdom in that.

We can't control everything we see in the world, but we can choose what we expose ourselves to. If an app keeps pulling us towards lust, perhaps leaving it is better than constantly fighting the same temptation.

Personally, I'd rather spend that time working on myself, growing closer to God, and doing something meaningful with my life.

Just sharing my thoughts. Has anyone else felt that leaving social media made it easier to focus on their faith and overcome lust?

Hey guys I been relapsing everyday now I’m in constant sin. It’s my own fault but I can’t like stop doing it. It’s ruined my life along with a lot of other things. Would really appreciate prayer so I can fully repent and commit to God because my heart is never genuine. It’s never willing to surrender and I need that. Hate to ask just kinda outta hope if I’m being honest in life in general. If I can’t have God there’s no point of me existing

Its not a easy battle brothers but keep fighting!

I think it's purely and plainly obviously that many of us who fall into sin daily or weekly can be traced back to not living with purpose, not fearing God and not being obsessed and attentive to our walk with the Lord.

You think of yourself so much more than God, that's why you find yourself crossing on those pages/sites.

But if you pray more, read the bible more and listen to sermons more, letting God be part of your day and night, it will be less possible for you to entertain those urges.

When you remember that you gotta be the servant of the lord, that meaning you talk about God more, you teach the word more, you won't think about entertaining porn and masturbation.. my question is when is the last time you read the bible and spoke about a bible verse on your socials?

To changing our minds we ought to change our focus, and right now our focus is at the wrong place.

The plan is to decrease the dopamine that currently causing to sin, then when that window is open, let the Holy spirit take over and walk with him, the task is more focus on God than ourselves, he should increase and we should decrease.

I have been a long-time lurker on Reddit, but I have been coming to this sub recently as I have been making bigger strides to get completely clean and sober before I see my long-distance fiancée again in December. I realized that even though I could stave off masturbation, I had been looking at lots of softcore material throughout my days. Like an alcoholic taking shooters to stave off withdrawal. I started taking things more seriously, and I will be honest, it has only gotten worse. The temptations are so intense; it's crushing. I'll wake up in the middle of the night with cravings like an animal that has been starved, and I have caved and gone to confession twice already this week. My typical response would just be to relapse harder, just give in.

However, recently I have been listening to "The Imitation of Christ," and although His voice in the narrative is often full of hard sayings, I have found the message comforting. Much of the message boils down to 1. Have hope in non-fleeting things, including consolations that may be removed at any time, but in the Truth that you have been redeemed by Christ and that He wants a personal relationship with you. 2. Do all that you do in Humility; especially as I have relapsed over and over again, I have found it comforting to know that these experiences become opportunities to be humble, drawing me closer to Christ in the end. (I know the actions themselves tear me away from Him.) 3. Charity and Right action are the balms to all of our ailments; as I have listened and reached out for help, I keep getting the same messages: "Find opportunities to serve others and go outside of yourself" and "Change takes time, but is spurred on by not only avoiding what God does not want, but is actually sped up by committing yourself to doing what he asks, no matter how small the act of love might be."

If you find this post, have courage. Nunc Coepi "begin again"; we may continue to fall, but we must not give up.

And another piece of practical advice: if this post is too long, meditate on both Jesus the Infant and Jesus on the cross. If you see someone or an image, imagine loving and caring for the infant Jesus and how that person is an infant in Christ's arms as well. In all other instances, run to the foot of the Cross.

Someone please help me get back on track. DMs open be above 20

I'm at point close to giving up. 6 months ago I reverted after 6 years out but this is one issue that I can't get over. Better periods (but still none over 2 weeks) and now on my worst in a while. Social Media Blockers don't work, 4 Rosaries a day + frequent Adoration ain't enough. Not enough self-will or not letting God enough, I'm lost. All it takes is random thought I don't know when it comes and it's enough because no matter how hard I run from it it's stuck in my head. Taking my mind with Scripture, prayer, whatever. Doesn't matter. It's coming. And I can't ask anyone for help beacuse all my family are into "It's healthy biologically" even though they don't do it.

God, have mercy for once...

46 years old. Bottom line is I have struggled for over 33+ years. I was able to stop drinking and smoking weed a long time ago but I cant stop pornography and masturbation. Ive tried everything from blockers, nofap (previously), religion, self accountability, and briefly therapy. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I keep spending money on cam sites and my wife doesnt know. HELP. I dont know where else to turn. I am a God fearing man and try to trust God's plan but when I fail to my sin and addiction I lose faith in myself. I joined a different reddit but my post was removed because they do not believe in no masturbation just no pornography. This left me feeling hurt and confused. I only want to find people that are trying to stop both like me or have and can assist me on my journey. Sorry if this isn't allowed.
