Backsliding into drug and porn/sex addiction

[TaylorDonBarret]

A few months ago I began back sliding into drug and sex/porn addiction.

Please pray that I will repent and stop these sinful behaviors.

When I do, I will pray many prayers for all of you.

Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom to overcome your temptations & seek the help you need.

Thank you!!! I really need the support. Thank you for your prayers. So much.

 

[pollylodges]

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (TaylorDonBarret), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

I’ll pray for you, and also ask if you live in the DFW area. (Dallas / Fort-Worth, in Texas).

If so, I’m part of a men’s group which focuses on helping men overcome addictions to sex and pornography. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to give you our information.

 

[Boswell]

I highly recommend Sexaholics Anonymous. It saved my life and my marriage.

Act of Contrition

My Lord Jesus Christ, my God, my Father and Redeemer: because You are Who You are, //
and because I love You as infinite Goodness above all things, //
I am sorry for having offended You, //
and with Your grace I firmly resolve to confess my sins and to flee from the occasions of sinning. //
Through the victory that on the Cross You gained against the demon, sin and death, //
I pray, Lord, You grant me in this life, for Your glory, the victory over/from all my passions, //
so that I may achieve a holy death.
Amen.

People promote COURAGE all the time. These groups we’re discussing serve a similar purpose.

Thank you for your help. I was not sure we could promote groups. :curtsey:

Those pictures help me quite a bit and I sure hope they help others. :curtsey:

**Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

God know,s we all have weak spots just keep praying,and God will send the Holy Spirit to help you. :harp:

 

[wild_thing]

O Mary, under your patronage
we find peace in the midst of earthly tribulation.
You are the quiet certainty of the strong soul,
ever on guard against the enemy.
You are the sanctuary of the pure
who remain unstained by earth’s corruption.
And just as, with you,
we find peace during the present life,
so shall we find with you,
when the days of our pilgrimage are over,
everlasting peace in the world to come.

Amen.
