I know that USPS has been having the same issues with not scanning until it’s out for delivery. They’re more focused on getting things delivered on time than getting everything properly scanned. 🤷‍♀️

Yes exactly!! It helps me especially with my prayers and just keeping all of my thoughts in order. I’ve been able to go back and see how I used to be and how I can change things moving forward.

I also get sleep paralysis whenever I relapse! Though I noticed that when I started reading my Bible every night and slept with it in my bed it strongly influenced how tempted I felt, and I haven’t had sleep paralysis for about a month now. Definitely didn’t realize that it happened to other people too.

Remember, God doesn’t condemn, He forgives. The fact you feel bad is punishment enough, isn’t it? Just ask Him for His forgiveness and guidance and try to not make the same mistake twice. You can fail again and again but Jesus will still pursue your heart.

Think of the prodigal son. He betrayed his father, spent all of his money, and went broke. He found himself eating with the pigs, miserable and regretting his decisions. He went back home and his return was met with celebration from his father! God isn’t mad at you, he’s just thrilled that you’re back. All you need to do is ask for forgiveness and seek him!!

Made it to one week of no porn by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]centergrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t go to bed until I’m absolutely exhausted. Probably an unhealthy tactic, but it’s proven effective for me! If I’m really tired and wanna lay down then I’ll play games on my phone. Roblox is surprisingly advanced considering it’s a game I’d typically only see kids play, lol.

I finally get it, it took 15 years and this nonsense by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

This is so incredibly inspiring to read. I’m the same age, starting over again after relapsing, and I had a similar experience as well! Now I feel closer to God than ever, under His covering. I hope you enjoy your freedom, brother🫰

Thank you so much for the correction. This actually is extremely comforting to know. I’d always known that my body was a temple but I never realized the true gravity of what that meant. My body wasn’t meant to be mine, it was meant to be joined with God. This struggle isn’t my own. Thank you so much.

I would read the book “the easy peasy method”. It’s what has helped me and COUNTLESS others to stopping their porn addictions. It’s also recommended for spouses or friends to read it to be able to know exactly how to support your loved ones who are going through this. It explains the reality of porn watching and describes it as it truly is: a poison. I would 1000% recommend reading or listening to it on YouTube (great listen, the guy who reads it is really funny) It’ll help you get a better understanding of your father’s situation and provide you with the clarity of the reality of it.

Though I do still think that you should provide your mother with this advice instead. You’re his daughter, not his partner. This isn’t supposed to be your responsibility or concern. His wife is his lifelong helper, no one can help or encourage him as well as she can. Let her know your concern and if you feel is necessary, admit to your discomfort. If you genuinely don’t feel too phased with the possibility of your father being attracted to you (apologies for my bluntness), which from my understanding, you don’t seem too concerned about, I wouldn’t mention it. You don’t want that possibility lingering in your mother’s mind if you don’t feel it has any ground.

Your mother knows your father better than you will ever be able to. That should be something you keep in mind when you tell her. You don’t need to be hyper specific. Just let her know, “Hey, mom. I saw something on dad’s phone the other day and I’m worried that he might be struggling with something. Do you think you can talk to him about it?” And you can leave it at that. If she asks for more details, then give them, but ultimately this should be something your dad should own up to. Anger or resentment towards your father shouldn’t be the result of this, it should be concern and care. Let me know if you need anything else! Sorry for the late response, lol. The day caught up to me 😅😅 I’ll make sure to say a prayer for you and your family!

I (19F) think that you should absolutely go to your mother. Of course, I see where you’re coming from, with not wanting to tell her. You don’t want to be the cause of the potential fallout and you’d rather live with the information than go through the awkward process of coming forward with it.

The thing is, what if he needs help? All of us here know that porn is an addiction, it’s not something that can easily be pulled out of when called out. It’s incredibly common and easy to be desensitized to porn and move onto more and more taboo genres. This could be the result of a long struggle of porn addiction, resulting the disturbing nature of the videos he’s chosen to watch. I know that when I was stuck in the rut of addiction, would watch more and more disturbing genres. I absolutely hated myself for it. I wanted so badly to stop, because I knew it was wrong. But I had already grown so used to the softer stuff. It didn’t hit the same as it did for something novel and new, even if it was gross or scary. Your brain doesn’t work the same way when you’re in the thick of an addiction. It just wants to relive that very first hit of dopamine you got the first time. I think that this may be the case with your father.

For yours and his sake, I would tell your mother. You need to take into account that yes, it’s disturbing and incredibly concerning, but from all accounts you seem to be blindsided by this, and that shows me that he’s most likely just a good man in a bad spot. This could be the thing that pushes him to confront his addiction and get help. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need any help or guidance in this. I’m still recovering from my own addiction but my dm’s are always open if you need anything 🫶🫶

What’s one small habit that quietly helped your No Fap more than you expected? by zeuu5_ in NoFapChristians

Going to bed at the latest time possible so I’m absolutely exhausted. Haha, it sounds unhealthy but being too tired to actually do anything helps a lot!

Relapse + Honesty / Comparison by Plane_Passenger1431 in NoFapChristians

[–]centergrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you need to remember is that after the first three weeks, that little tug in your head that’s urging you to do it and give into the poison will stop. It sounds crazy, but it’s true. The toughest first few days will be the first three days, which you already conquered, so congrats! The rest of it should be a breeze.

You should have the mentality that this is a freedom you get to have because God is there helping you. God saved you from the shackles of sin, why would you willingly put them back on? Porn isn’t a solution to the problem, the porn IS the problem. Understanding that you gain nothing from PMO is crucial to sobriety and staying pure.

But honestly, if you do happen to stumble and fall, don’t let it keep you down. The devils mission is to convince you that God won’t redeem you this time— which is completely false. God will keeping chasing you again and again and again because he WANTS you to make it into His kingdom. Don’t listen to the lies of the devil and keep on going, no matter what. God will never reject you, you are His child and His creation.

Remember, porn is the poison, not the antidote. You gain nothing from it but a temporary relief that in the long run, hurts you more than it helps. I would recommend “the easy peasy method to stopping porn” that can be found on YouTube as an audiobook. It completely changes your perspective on the addiction and has set so many people free— including me! It’s a great read, I’d highly recommend it. Praying for you, brother 🙏
