I need help guys. I’ve fallen now twice just 4 days from eachother, and I’ve never been so ashamed in my life. God alone kept me clean for 3 weeks and 3 days over Christmas, and immediately after that fall He kept me for 3 weeks and 4 days. This time I only lasted 4 days before falling, I’m an absolute disgrace.

Prior to this the longest I had ever gone in 7 years was 2 weeks during Lent, prayer, and heavy coursework. Before that, roughly 5 days. Pityful really!

My problem still is in being tempted into stupidity. I don’t know if this is unusual, I literally become tempted untill it is soely my will against a heavy, heavy weight. Like a tonne of stone being counterbalanced by a sugar cube, absolutely painful. During which I can think of nothing else, everything is a dulled reality. This happens after the FIRST unrepressed thought, as simple as catching a glimpse of an immodest lady for a half a second longer than I should have. Good God, if women knew what sort of pain they can inflict on people.

The only thing that lifts that drunkeness temporarily is prayer, and confession takes it away altogether. I need you guys to pray for me, really if you knew what sort of effect your prayers had you wouldn’t stop praying. I need it bad.
 
I had the same problem u had, and maybe even worse in my case. Here’s how I solved it:

Also, ill be praying for you.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for him!
 
My friend, God sees the attempts you are making, and values those attempts greatly. He is a Just and Merciful God, and wants nothing more than for you to live life in His image.

I will pray for you today. I know how hard it can be, but I know that with prayer, anything is possible to overcome. Continue your journey, even if it sometimes feels like an upwards battle, and know that your fellow brother and sisters are there beside you, fighting alongside you, in order to become true practitioners of our Faith.
 
I will pray for your intention.

May God show you His ways. Trust in Him.

Hebrews 4:15 May you find comfort in this bible verse.

God Bless! you always:heart:
 
Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen
 
May our Lod help you to practice custody of the eyes and grant you all the graces you need to resist temptation. May he move you to pray the Rosary every day, for purity, etc… May he help you to fill your mind with pious thoughts and move you to engage in good spiritual reading. Amen.

That is such a beautiful thing to say, thank you very much.

Please pray for me, I will offer up a decade of the Rosary daily for anyone who does.

Unfortunately I fell today. I think I found out what causes my “stupid” moments when I’m tempted though. It turns out, because the body has been trained to view…these things as so essential due to being starved of dopamine, the front of the brain is intentionally slowed down so as to prevent you from thinking properly, in order to appease the body. Apparantly the response can be equal to the instinct to fight off death! No wonder, I almost have no memory of it after it happens, so much that I began to think of possession.

I have noticed though, that prayer in these moments actually gets rid of these things, my downfall is failing to be vigilant to know when it happens, and finishing prayer before the danger is gone. I’m sorry for writing a wall of text, but writing publically is the only way that I remember, I forget almost everything when temptation arises.
 
Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
