Porn addiction

Hello everyone, I am a young boy who has been struggling with porn for years now. I just broke a streak of 1 month and it was very hard to admit that I had to start over from day1. I have wanted to stop with it but it seems I tried many things but never succeed to overcome it. I never talked to anyone like this about that, so I hope it will help me.

You get born into this world and darkness is out there to kil you, deceive you and trap you ... it is hard, living life here down, it is hard. And we gotta fight for our life. Me, you, everyone. Because where will you go? Give up and surrender to it? Okay, it is your choice at the end of the day... You will die. It is hard. Look, I am believer now, and I am just sharing what I believe to be truth now... you dont have to agree and I dont want to push anything on you, my motive is to help you. Sin opens door to the evil one to your life. Sin brings death. And there are things that especially more open door for the evil one and demons to operate in your life... especially playing with occultism... even pornography... it is really dangerous thing. You know how many people struggle with it? Especially YOUNG MEN... but also women. I also struggled with it... actually it got so bad that it would be highly inappropriate and gross to talk about this here... but like I know what it can do to a man. Now? I am free from it. It is gone. Thanks to God. (and to decision of my will to stop, and make a change - because your life, my life, is in our hands eventually).

That said, do not give up. You dont even have to count days and streak, it is not important really. What matters is... IF you stumble (you dont have to, but especially in the beginning you will likely stumble because you are as a kid, as a baby learning to walk... doing first steps... they will fall and stumble... but the thing is... they get up and continue... and because of that... eventually... they learn to walk and not fall. And if you struggle for years up and down and it doesnt really get better... than maybe the problem is your mind, and your decision. Do you want to stop? 

I wish you all the best on your journey. Look, there is hope. You aint alone. Encourage yourself... watch people´s testimonies who beat it... dont give in to that voice in your head... you know what I am talking about (I will never make it... I am trying... I am doing what I dont want to do... I am weak... I am failure... what if... how come.... ) 

God bless you. I will pray for you

Hello dear, I am struggling with this also. I am 19 and I have been doing since 16. I was clean for 9 months but I did it again and now it's a usual thing to me.

I am using website blockers and screen time controllers and I have made my life busy I hope this will work for me. I suggest you too to use website blockers it really helps and busy yourself and other things. I haven't eliminated it but I am suggesting you what I am doing nothing else ð«£

Hello,

I think when you always trying to stop something, ended up doing that thing.

Let's try like not focusing on things that you don't want to do, be present and accept yourself first as good person. Start like you don't have any bad habit at all and be conscious on your work or hobby or whatever you're doing. Don't think about the past or the future,just focus on present and go with flow. Don't be hard on yourself. It's definitely difficult to make things right suddenly, everything takes time give it a time. I hope you'll be happy as you wanted.
