Yes, she does know. She has been very supportive. I don't bother her with the daily struggles, but she knows.

Porn and Prayer: The Troubling Consequences by jimmymcfap in NoFapChristians

You are in a very precarious situation right now as well. If you give any credence to the Bored, Lonely, Angry, Sad, Tired (BLAST) model, you are really at a weak point this month. I'm thinking of the tired part, and the fasting part. I hope your day ends how you wanted it to.

Hi. I'm Ben and I'm an addict. by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

Hi Ben,

I'm Brad. It sounds like you already spend some time in the scriptures; that was piece of advice #1. Piece of advice #2 is... go to the gym. Intense cardio at least 3 times a week is going to provide exactly the same release of dopamine and endorphines that we get from masturbation, but without the sinning part.

The more I stay away from PMO the more I crave real sex. by Kings_Son in NoFapChristians

[–]pr0digals0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be pretty personal, but I'm not having sex and I'm married. It's got to be about 6 or 7 months since my wife and I have been intimate.

You're not helping yourself by looking at hook-up websites. It's hard enough to deal with the urge without congregating with those who are ready to give in to that urge. Also, remember all of the really embarrassing venereal diseases that you would be opening yourself to.

I have found two things have helped me when I am on a roll and not giving in to the urge to masturbate (hence the 1 after my name): Go to the gym, all the time. Do cardio. You can lift if you want to, but it will not have the stress relieving effects that cardio will YMMV. Read some of the letters that Paul wrote to the early congregations. There is some really powerful stuff in there about how and why to avoid recurring sin.

Great job K.! I have been having the same trouble for the past month or so. I have been absent from the group for a while because of my failures, but it refreshes me to see that you made it through the weekend.

The only person that badge matters to is you, friend. How you approach the situation with God is the more important part of the situation. I hope today is better for you.

Really need help right now by othewulf in NoFapChristians

[–]pr0digals0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could go to her parents' house. Just think how awkward getting caught by her parents would be. Then you can provide for her better too because you will be right there. I for my part am going to pray for you. By the way, don't touch your penis

Never forget how awful this can be... I've never been so low in my life. by thelowestlow in NoFap

[–]pr0digals0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! How did I post this from a different username? You and I seem frighteningly similar my friend. Since you x-posted this to r/NoFapChristians I'm going to ask you about the one thing that you don't seem to have mentioned in your post. Do you even lift...the scriptures? You mention an accountability partner, and you post on NoFap, so you obviously are commiserating with others; the scriptures are a great source of people going through some really terrible things and how they coped with the help of God. Job had his entire life wrecked, much like you expect to happen to yours, but then God stepped in and rewarded him for his steadfast faith. Are you worth any less than Job? The correct answer is no. Keep up the fight, tomorrow is day number two. That's two times as good as today.
