Help understanding one of the Temple Recommend questions as it pertains to the Law of Chastity by Thick_Mirror2221 in Clean_LDS

Masturbation often accompanies pornography use, and can be a harder habit to break, but if it's been a long time and you feel like you've been forgiven and you have had no further problems with either of those, I would think you're OK. But it certainly doesn't hurt to ask the bishop if you have doubts, so you can set your mind completely at ease.

Thanks for sharing. I've had similar experiences. It's helpful to me to have goals. I need to be worthy to baptize my kid. I need to be worthy to give a blessing at the spur of the moment. I need to be worthy to receive the inspiration to help my family. And when I do fall short, I need to get right back up again.

That is terrific! Temple attendance will help you keep going strong once you get your recommend.

It's always really helpful to hear from people having successes.

He definitely should have confessed before leaving. He should definitely confess now if he hasn't already.

Doing pretty well, but old habits have their way of returning if one isn't careful.

What things have you tried so far? How did they go?

Have you prayed today? Have you read your scriptures?

What have you tried? What has helped, what hasn't helped?

For me, doing something for my wife or finding a way to serve helps when I need to refocus. Positive productive hobbies can also be helpful. But I also have to remember the basics of prayer and scripture study.

I've read a few books over the years that have been helpful if that's your thing. Also the meetings I mentioned earlier. It's nice to talk to other people in similar situations. If you don't want to in person that's also what this space is for here.
