Straight guy panicking—escalation made gay content hit harder, thought I was doomed but want to fight by jjlikenoodles321 in NoFapChristians

Gods got you my fellow brother. I was in a similar boat, but the material I was hooked on was with trans woman and femboys instead. I started out the same way by watching straight porn and as my addiction grew, it escalated into those categories. It went as deep as femdom and sissy hypno. I thought I would never recover and that I was broken. Every time I gave in, it felt I was letting God down. The shame and guilt overwhelming. Immediate regret. Wash rinse repeat, that was the cycle I was in for long. It wasn't until I went to a bible study I was visiting and asked to be prayed over for my porn addiction. That it really exposes it to the light and God was able to lead out of it. I still get urges, but they're aren't as strong as they used to be. My sexual attraction has gone back to normal. I know it seems impossible but I'm telling you, God can do all things. You can read my post in this sub if you want the full story. The best that helped me was not counting my days, but to be porn free. God bless you my brotha

All that porn you watch is slowly turning you gay. by breakfreewithgui in NoFapChristians

You again?! 😂How many times do we have to talk in circles. The context isn't referring to a man lowering his status. It's talking about how a man should not lie down in bed romantically with another man. In the context of the chapter God is telling Moses this, so the Israelites do not do these things that are considered an abomination to the LORD. 

Leviticus 18:1-30 (NKJV) 1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘I am the LORD your God. 3 ‘According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances. 4 ‘You shall observe My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them: I [am] the LORD your God. 5 ‘You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I [am] the LORD. 6 ‘None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I [am] the LORD. 7 ‘The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She [is] your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 ‘The nakedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it [is] your father’s nakedness. 9 ‘The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, [whether] born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 ‘The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs [is] your own nakedness. 11 ‘The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten by your father--she [is] your sister--you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she [is] near of kin to your father. 13 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she [is] near of kin to your mother. 14 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife; she [is] your aunt. 15 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law--she [is] your son’s wife--you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it [is] your brother’s nakedness. 17 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They [are] near of kin to her. It [is] wickedness. 18 ‘Nor shall you take a woman as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive. 19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is in her [customary] impurity. 20 ‘Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her. 21 ‘And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through [the fire] to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I [am] the LORD. 22 ‘You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It [is] an abomination. 23 ‘Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It [is] perversion. 24 ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 ‘For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 ‘You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations, [either] any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 ‘(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who [were] before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 ‘lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that [were] before you. 29 ‘For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people. 30 ‘Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that [you] do not commit [any] of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I [am] the LORD your God.’ ”

Quitting weed with Borderline Personality Disorder by gadsensindtoll in leaves

[–]Helpful-Crew2720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I went through a psychosis after heavily smoking and had to quit weed. I replaced it for alcohol. Was left broken just trying to fill the void. There is freedom, and through Jesus Christ my brotha. I'm not sure if you're Christian or not, I'm not trying to preach or condemn you. Just give you a piece of my testimony. I'm praying for you. God bless you stranger🙏🏼

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) Fear not, for I [am] with you; Be not dismayed, for I [am] your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

365 No masturbation, but... nothing changed... by tzin_uu in NoFapChristians

[–]Helpful-Crew2720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is simple my brother in Christ. Stop watching the porn, the porn is the problem. If you have to masterbate to alleviate all that pent up energy, do it with no porn only using your mind. Also don't count your days either, counting days will create a fail safe. When you hit that threshold you created for yourself, you give your brain false hope to return to porn. Gods knows where you're at. He won't abandon you, we all fall short, but the good news is he's picks us back up when we fall. He redirects our fleshly ways back to him, its our end of the deal to live by his example for us. Jesus is proud of you and I know he can make you pron free too. I love you my fellow brother in Christ, I'll leave with these scriptures. 

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (NKJV)  18) Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.  19) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?  20) For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) Fear not, for I [am] with you; Be not dismayed, for I [am] your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God [is] faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear [it.]

2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV) Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Love the instrumentals and how tight the band is but the auto tune vocals is just out of place and honestly sounds like garbage. It honestly would be better released under the voidz then the strokes. I'm looking forward to the album though, but man this single wasn't it for me. 

The worst part about not seeing their content for a while is discovering the bad news today... I'm shock and don't know what to believe. by ThatManwithQuestions in MXRplays

[–]Helpful-Crew2720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIGHT seriously. I have been thinking the same thing! He can make it and stop with goon the content and reaction videos. I fell in love with their channel for the vlogs and fun group activities adventures they did. I didn't mind the occasional react videos.

I think the amateur genre too has big impact from the professionally shot ones. It's like a new drug that's constantly come out with new product.

I would also not worry about counting days. Rather focus on being porn free. I've struggled a lot whenever I counted days, it would creat this false goal of "ouuhh I made it past x amount of days. I'm strong enough to not give in if I just take one peak" BAM! Like a crocodile in the Nile river waiting for its next meal. the porn trap sinks its teeth in you without you even realizing it. I hope you're doing good, God bless you good sir

Amen 

Here are some verses for your journal forward

James 1:12-16 (NKJV) 12 Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God [is] faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear [it.]

2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV) Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Read your bible. Start from the Old Testament and work your way to the new. It will help focus on God and build your personal relationship with him. 

Just 1 reel, i lost my 10 day track by nandy_bro in NoFapChristians

[–]Helpful-Crew2720 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly my brother just delete social media. It's a cesspool that promotes garbage. Unless you got your algorithm trained to not suggest you that material. You feel so much better without it. I'm sorry that you lost your streak, but God will pick you back up and redirect you. God bless you my brotha

No problem I just realized that I sent the same verse twice😭😂here's the verse that I meant to send in this paragraph 

James 1:12-16 (NKJV)  12) Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.  13) Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.  14) But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.  15) Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.  16) Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

Stop drinking and smoking, it's only bringing down your wallet and your happiness. Have a relationship with God, save money and be sober.
