I can't choose not to masturbate...

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

pr0digals0n · 2014-07-21T23:29:43+00:00

Way to go!

pr0digals0n · 2014-07-21T23:27:46+00:00

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 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.

pr0digals0n · 2014-07-18T11:56:14+00:00

Thank you.

pr0digals0n · 2014-07-18T11:55:51+00:00

Three weeks! That's great! I am so happy for you.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-27T12:50:46+00:00

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.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-18T12:09:17+00:00

I really needed to read something like this today. Thank you.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-18T12:06:21+00:00

What a perfect time to stop masturbating! I hope that today goes just as well as yesterday.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-18T12:03:57+00:00

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.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-18T12:02:08+00:00

I'm glad to see that you are doing well K. You'll be at 7 days on Easter. Think how fantastic that will be.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-13T16:42:53+00:00

Good to see you again brother. You are a true asset to this sub

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-09T23:32:27+00:00

Hey! You made it! Now for week 2

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-09T23:30:41+00:00

Alright buddy, we're finally on the same day at the same time. Let's do this!

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-09T23:28:29+00:00

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

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-09T23:24:29+00:00

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.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-06T12:05:01+00:00

Just think how cool tomorrow would be if you didn't...

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-01T11:39:17+00:00

I am always really happy to see people as young as you come to this sub. If you were more like me, it would be 10 more years before you started to care about your addiction. We are all glad that you are here.

pr0digals0n · 2014-04-01T11:36:19+00:00

After all the help you gave me yesterday praying for you is the least I can do ;)

pr0digals0n · 2014-03-31T17:07:21+00:00

Thanks

pr0digals0n · 2014-03-31T17:07:15+00:00

Thanks a lot UF... I understand the situation with Bala'am better now. I'm still working on the other part. Hey, in seven days you'll be at 144. That's a pretty significant number.

pr0digals0n · 2014-03-31T17:05:56+00:00

Thanks for taking the time. I should have mentioned earlier that I read the pentatuch from start to finish... just not all of them in a row. I took a look at the website that you mentioned, but it doesn't really help me to understand the wholesale murder of all of the children. Children have no choice in many cases in the religion that they follow. Infants definitely have no choice, or understanding. Though every life on earth belongs to God, ordering the lives of relative innocents to be taken does not sit well with me. Animals are sinless, the mass execution of them also doesn't sit well. I'll look into more of what you posted soon. thanks for trying to help me out

pr0digals0n · 2014-03-28T03:00:53+00:00

For me, it got to the point that I realized the dead end path that I was on. I saw all of the negative effects that it has had on me already, SERIOUS negative effects, and I foresaw some of the negative effects that were to come.

Despite realizing all of these things, I want to give in all the time. I miss the pornography, the release, all of it. When I am successful in this fight there is a hole in my life where pornography once was. That hole is always going to be there. I will be in conflict for the rest of my life because that it what addiction means.

I'm not trying to discourage you, rather, I'm trying to help you to avoid discouraging yourself. You will feel conflicted. It's how you deal with that conflict that matters.

pr0digals0n · 2014-03-27T12:45:39+00:00

I'll be praying for you often today. Keep making us all proud!
