I don’t think smoking and watching porn means you are possessed by a devil.
If that were the case, the majority of people in this world would need an exorcism.

It just means your willpower is not strong.

Smoking pot often skews a person’s perception and makes one make choices they wouldn’t normally make if they were sober…in the same way drinking does.

But I don’t smoke pot, I visit them b/c they’re my friends from
way back.

GLam, I need to ask you an honest question here: who is responsible for your sins, your failures in self-discipline, your frequenting of near occasions of sin? Are you? Is this friend? Or did the devil make you do it?

I get the sense that you’re trying to pass the bill here and to avoid responsibility for your own failures and even more broadly for your spiritual life. Consider that the reason that we’re in the predicament we are now is because our first parents tried to pass the bill as well, rather than admitting their responsibility and saying to God, “have mercy on me, a sinner.”

If you keep on doing this, your spiritual life is unlikely to return to a state of health unless you can admit that you have sinned “through my fault, through by fault, through my most grievous fault” and coming to a true contrition and sorrow, instead of blaming your faults on others, which is certainly at least venially sinful.

Hi folks,
I have been going deeper and deeper into
sin against my conscience, smoking,
pornography, unchecked spending(when I
am in serious credit card debt). I seem to
be POWERLESS in face of it all. Moreover
I don’t have love for my bros. and sisters in
Christ, in fact I have bitter envy at those who
are high in the Spirit and seem to be pious. I
dread going to confession today b/c I am
habitually and seriously sinning.
One idea I have is that I visited an old friend
of mine who is selling Marijuana as a living
and the more I visit him, the more I fall into
sin. I’m NOT addicted to marijuana, but I think
that spiritually he and his wife are an open
door to the demonic, I need help really bad.
I am going to request to see an exorcist from
my confessor!!

Please do not take this the wrong way. I think you do not need to see an exorcist. You need self-control. I understand cutting ties with your lifestyle will be a challenge or change you may hate to make. Then again, I cannot assume that people who need exorcism are fully capable of knowing they need one. Just pray. I do not think you are wretched or evil. Do not take this the wrong way. Your sins are not as far-fetched as you think. I would think you would need to see an exorcism if holy things offend you, you can levitate, you can speak Latin, you actively pray and praise Satan, you are tempted to destroy the Eucharist. I would take drug use and pornography seriously that is the gateway to the adversary.
 
The MAIN problem I have is lack of
self-confidence, first in myself and
then God’s ability to rescue me from
my sins. I’m UNHAPPY most of the
time and even to the point of crying
b/c I’m NOT living according to my
formed conscience. I KNOW that
I’m disobedient, but I CAN’T HELP
myself from falling into graver and
graver sins.

Pray for him. Go to Mass and offer the Eucharist for him.

Get some life giving friends.

Sometimes “easing” into a solution is not the way.

Sometimes you must just cut the person/people out. Period.

It’s like ripping off a band aid, do it slow and it hurts a lot more than just ripping it off.
 
I have broken the relationship, I told them
plainly that I will NOT visit them anymore.
Thanx for all your advice.

Well, you can feel free to ask if you want, but** this sounds to me like a cop out.** There’s nothing supernaturally demonic about what is happening to you. It would be easier if it was. This is a battle over control of yourself, plain and simple. You cannot exorcise your own spirit.

You need to get these negative influences out of your life. It’s better to be lonely than it is to be surrounded by bad influences. You need silence. Bl Mother Teresa tells us it all begins with silence & prayer. You need to get started with a self-improvement routine, possibly with the assistance of counseling. Reclaim Sexual Health would be a good program for you, which also is helpful for substance addictions as well.

God bless you.

I assure you I’m not using this as a cop-out, I am
sinning almost against my conscience in my
pornography addiction, I KNOW BETTER!!
I think that this is all b/c of my cigarette addiction,
IT HAS OPENED the door to the demonic,
please pray that I may be able to get rid
of THIS CRUTCH.

There is some serious stuff on that list, and I would guess that there is more. You do need help, and all you can get.

Now I know your intentions are good, but you aren’t willing to put it out right now. You’re into it deep and like doing it too much. That is precisely the problem, you like what you are doing too much.

Well, there is a way out. And that is Mary. She gave us a personal pledge thru her miraculous medal. **She promised graces to those who wore it **and who trusted her. If you are already wearing it, then you aren’t using it to it’s fullest. You need to hold it in your hand and say this little prayer to her, “Mary, help me to want to quit these sins”. Notice the prayer didn’t say “…help me to quit” but "…help me to want to quit.

You aren’t going to quit anything unless you yourself want to do so. Then when you want to quit, you will quit. Just ask Mary each and every time you find yourself sinning or tempted to sin, to help you to WANT to quite. It may seem like this is useless at first. But there will come the time when it will happen and it may occur in a way you never thought about. She has never been know to refuse anyone who sincerely asks for her help. But your patience is a requirement along with complete trust in her.

I AM wearing a miraculous medal, and I WANT to quit,
please pray to the blessed Virgin Mary for me that I will
have the WILL-POWER to resist falling into the pit of
pornography and smoking again.
 
Pray the rosary daily:signofcross:
Wear the miraculous medal and the green scapular of conversion:)
Go to confession
Go to Mass
Do deliverance prayers
Read spiritual books
Do PENANCE!!!
 
I have moved to another location and
it seems to work… I’m not tempted to
sin like I was when I lived in my old
place.
I am praying the rosary DAILY and
attending DAILY mass and frequenting
the confessional.
Thanks for ALL who prayed, you are
priceless in God’s Eyes!!
