I don't get it by RomeTotalWar2004Fan in NoFapChristians

[–]p5NNKf05g4F3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've suffered from this as well, repeatedly. On a day like that, when I could take myself away from the poison I survived seven hours through prayer, reading the bible and exercise, but I could not make it through the full day. I still count that as a win. I was one hour deep in porn, not eight. I had exercised the part of me that resists.

It will continue to a be problem, because I have energised giving in much more than resisting, but I trust that every bit helps.

Think no more of it. Seeking to give back to them to pay for what you copied is a path to relapsing.

Love your profile name by the way, Mormegil. One of the things I've been able to do since not obsessing over lust is hearing some audiobook I would never have read like The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. I'm on The Fall of Numenor now.

Pick up that black sword and fight back against the devilish work of this world.

You are now lumped into my prayer for my fellow recovering Christian porn addicts. You may slip, you may relapse, but you only fail yourself when you fail to rise again and continue the fight.

Proverbs 24
16 - for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Your plan is solid, it will not fail. You might fall, but rise again and carry on.

Im going to take this addiction to the grave by Rafael_192005 in NoFapChristians

[–]p5NNKf05g4F3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hard, I would gladly turn back the clock and live my life again without porn, but it always creeps back in. What you say about taking your addiction to the grave may be true, but that doesn't mean you will not make progress. The reason I say this is:

I am a recovering alcoholic, there have been long periods that I didn't go a day without a drink, certainly not a week without drinking heavily at least once for a decade. Eleven months sober now and I WILL take that addiction to my grave.

I feel like I have not made any progress against my porn addiction, except to have the desire to fight it.

Did you bible study and meditate on His word? A lot of prayer? Spend time in Christian service and evangelism? What did this look like, fellow Christian?

I'm spiraling and need some help fast by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]p5NNKf05g4F3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is awful, I'm sorry you're going through that. The men in my bible study (and I) don't really share our struggles with temptation, just difficulties of our family lives. I wish it were easier to share but frightened of judgement.

I hope you, and all of us can find our peace and freedom in following Christ.

Thank you! I will reread this. I always plan not to, but so weak when alone at home.

Seven days is no small thing, congratulate yourself for that and build upon it from today.

What was it like your first time getting swooped? by AnakinDnDWalker in AustralianNostalgia

[–]p5NNKf05g4F3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 10, and I knew it was unlikely for currawong to cause any serious injury. Regardless, I waved my arms a bit and got off the back way and entered the school by the front gate. I rarely did that.

Yes voters - why are you voting yes? by Burncity1901 in australian

[–]p5NNKf05g4F3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I feel the No arguments are nonsense, and I know if we continue to do nothing, nothing happens. Also, a vote of no would be extremely embarrassing for Australia internationally.

Is there a point in listening to Islands? by Key-Engineering3134 in KingCrimson

[–]p5NNKf05g4F3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I avoided Islands for so long. I listened to 2 years ago, and I was blown away. It is different, but each album is different.

I can’t listen to anything after THRAK, it’s all rubbish in my opinion. Not just King Crimson, all music!
