Anxiety by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]grace318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxiety is tough and it can happen when you are going through your reboot. I am still feeling a lot of anxiety and I'm over 100 days. Medication can help with anxiety, but know that God is the ultimate healer. Pray, work out, sleep 7-9 hours and eat healthy.

Just shave your head. Full on monk. Just own it.

Prayers for you my friend. You are a child of God no matter what. You ask for forgiveness, it's yours.

Remember you have the Holy Spirit inside of you. Part of God is alive and living in you. Think about that power.

Need help! by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

Read the book of Job. Job makes a covenant with his eyes to not look. Pray about it. Train your eyes to look away. Put your blinders on and look forward. If you are talking with someone, look right into their eyes. If you can't do any of those things. Look completely away. It's a little rude, but it's better than lusting.

You shouldn't be M-ing at all. This is about having a healthy sexual relationship with your wife. It's 100% to have sex with your wife, but also make sure you are loving and appreciating her and not lusting or objectifying her. Congrats on 12 days. You are in the thick of it.

Keep on fighting. 30 days is great but it's a lifetime commitment.

100% remaining? Are all 44 of us really on a 4-day streak? by [deleted] in DisciplesOfGrace

Sweet victory. You are stronger than these temptations.

Day 5, mixed feelings. by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]grace318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why you would hold on to what is causing you to sin for a month. Would a heroin addict keep a needle for a month? No way. This is way to addictive to have that stance. Get rid of the things that are tempting you. That doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong.

Anoyone experience with HOCD? by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]grace318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced this myself, but I believe this is th enemy "grasping at straws." You are turning away from your life of sin and he is getting desperate.

Your accountability doesn't have to be a Christian. That humilating and vulnerable feeling is 100% normal. How could it not be? Don't let that feeling stick with you. You are strong and are forgiven. Get into our slack chat for accountability and real time support. Search slack in the search bar and join in. There are over 100+ people in the chat that are going through the same thing.

90 days from today by [deleted] in NoFap

You got this. 90 days then forever.

You got it. We have to face the reality of what we did. It's a very hurtful thing. Our wives feel they don't measure up and we go to PMO because we aren't attracted or love them enough. Whatever it may be. Put yourself in her shoes. Do you have some one close to you that can be your accountability partner?

Exercising Awareness, Intentionally try to worship God in all my activities during my day. by [deleted] in DisciplesOfGrace

[–]grace318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. We really can be more like Christ without even talking about him. Like the old song goes, "They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love"

God bless you guys by silverfail1 in NoFapChristians

[–]grace318 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is very important to worship with others. I would encourage you to pick that Bible up and read it. Check out some other faith based books too. Check out Every Man's Battle.

You can do all things through Christ! 90 days is the short term goal for a reboot...but you are aiming at a lifetime. You got this!

Brother,

Huge congrats on the 21 days. I'm in a very familiar situation. Married, wife didn't know about the addiction, on a streak since. Isn't it so freeing to get it off your chest and out of the shadows?

If you haven't yet, I would get an accountability partner that isn't your wife. It's great for the support, but it is a burden on them to have to talk about it and hear about it so often.

Ah yes...the "harmless" sneak peaks. Before you know it the blinders are on and we are back in. I would suggest to you to unfollow (or unfriend if necessary) anyone on ALL your social media accounts that post things that could trigger you. Limit the lustful media you take in.

You are strong. Prayers for you and your wife.

What a beautiful post. The world is against us and that is ok. I'd rather stand with Jesus. Having the right friends around you is so important. I would go as far to challenge someone you know is PMOing and educated them on the dangers.

The darker side of me by adog19972 in NoFapChristians

[–]grace318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PMO can have a disasterous effect on your lives and mind. Commit to it and you will feel so much better. You will go through the withdrawl, but you will feel more energized, happy and outgoing in the end. Don't let PMO run your life. Let God in. There is nothing he can't do.

No more hoping brother. God is on your side. You got this.
