Angel - Yes, you can be forgiven. Do find a priest and go to confession. I know it is hard, but the priest has heard it before - too many of us have been there, done that 😦 - but once it is dealt with in confession, you can make a fresh start.

That isn’t to say it will all be easy after that. You’ve indulged in some bad acts, which have become bad habits, and bad habits can be hard to break. Take a look at the article that is linked in my signature, about SAINT Margaret of Cortona, for an example of a canonized saint with a past… She was a big help to me in breaking some of my own bad habits of a similar nature. It will take a lot of prayer, a lot of work, a lot of picking yourself up and starting over after you fall, but it is worth it in the end .

God bless - Saint Margaret, pray for your children! :gopray:

Sorry for the consecutive posts, but Angel - since I posted the previous note, I’ve seen your other post about dealing with an eating disorder. Please, DON’T fast for forgiveness:nope:. Fasting is only one form of penance, by no means the only form, and should definitely not be used as a penance if you are struggling with an eating disorder already. Do be sure, when you meet with a priest, to let him know about the eating disorder - not so much that it is a sin - it is a disease - but the priest needs to know what you are dealing with in all areas in order to best advise you. “Penance” for you in this situation might be to make yourself eat three healthy meals each day, to tell God that you are trying to show more respect for yourself as His precious daughter!🙂

Remember, God loves you - pray, and try to take care of yourself for Him.
 
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a wonderful healing experience for your spirit!

Even if we are not too fond of the priest, we can remember that it is Jesus we are speaking to, in the person of the priest. Do it for Him, and you will have His Peace!

It would be very good if you could find friends that are seeking to follow the Lord in their lives. Surely there is a youth group at your parish?

Pray consistently and daily whether you feel like it or not…that is the way the Lord knows we mean what we say. The Lord will show you how you should be following Him.

You have gotten a lot of good advice here.
