Not to hijack thread. But I just gave into both of these things. Prayers for me also. I am struggling too. I figure there is no need to make a thread for every to post again on.
 
Dear Lord, I pray for Kevin who is suffering now from his addiction to masturbation and pornography. Hold him tightly Lord for he has this weakness that he knows does not glorifly you. Let him see Dear Lord with your eyes that every woman be seen as a child of God. Let him see these women as your daughters and may he come to pray for their release. Thank you for answering my prayer . I pray this in the name of the FAther and of the Son and of the HOly Spirit . Amen
 
Kevin,

You are on the right path! Adoration will change your life. I have been taking an hour for over eight years. Being a young adult who grew up with the beginnings of the internet I know exactly what you are talking about. First let me commend you for the good you are doing. Never forget the graces you receive from Mass, adoration, and confession.

Do not be fooled, you cannot wake up one day and expect this sin or its temptation to be gone. You can however trust in Our Lord’s mercy. Continue to go to confession. I started to beat this thing when a priest suggested to me to go to weekly confession. I struggled with beating myself up and still do when it happens. Remember these words, "there is no sin greater than God’s mercy." I can’t tell you how many times I would sit at adoration and cry for the whole hour, because I was so disgusted with myself. But, each time I could hear Him consoling me. I would always hear the words, “I love you.” He does love you, and no matter how many times you look at pornography that will never change. I am not trying to make light of the matter, but you must remember God is outside of time. It might seem to you that your baby steps aren’t enough, or it is taking to long. I can remember in high school, I committed this act multiply times daily. After I started adoration in college it got better. Perhaps once every other day and sometimes I would make it a week or two. As time, grace, and prayer continued I got away for longer amounts of time. Now I am usually able to turn away from the temptation. Key word in the last sentence is usually. I have been battling for over eight years since I really realized it was a mortal sin. I am still kicking. Don’t give up and continue your good efforts.

There is no sin greater that Our Lord’s mercy.

Each morning I asked the Blessed Mother to pray that I will see her at in every woman I come into contact with, whether in print, TV, or real life. You might also make the Litany of Saint Joseph part of your regular morning pray. He has helped me a lot.

There is no sin greater than Our Lord’s mercy.

I will pray for you and please do so for me.****
 
Id go to the Bible:
Flip to the Psalms, find 51, read it in prayer, repent over your sin and read the 51 section.
It helps.
 
I had addiction to certain sins in the past too. It was hard for me to truly repent in the past because I was so convinced of my own goodness despite my sinning. Think of hell and you would stop sinning. Think of losing Jesus and Mama Mary for all eternity. But don’t forget to think about God’s infinite and unfathomable mercy. Remember He never rejects a contrite heart and His mercy is greater than all the sins of the whole world.

Hey guys, great to be here;

Sorry to bring up this subject, I know it can be akward for many people.

Over the past few years I have become, unfortunately, become addicted to pornography and masturbation. Last June I went to the Steubenville of the Rockies conference and that has been total eye opener for me. I’ve been going to daily and mass and perpetual adoration, but there’s one thing that keeps holding me back; pornography and masturbation.

Everytime that I vow that I would not do this act again, I always fall about 4 or 5 days after confession. I have been asking God to send his grace and to help me overcome this, but it’s always so frustrating after I do this act. I know the Catechism says that I souldn’t beat myself up about this and that this addiction is a lifelong battle with sin. After confession, a catholic conference, or a religious event, I always feel great like, “I’m not going to masturbate or look at pornography,” getting the “Jesus shot” as some might say it. But after a few days or a week or so I always find myself slipping back into the sin and temptation.

Please pray for me to overcome this battle and to keep faithful in God as he will guide me and love me no matter what. I’m going to confession tomorrow and I’m asking for you to pray for me to gain confidence and to not be afraid to confess this and other sins to receive God’s grace!

Please pray for me as I will you!

May God bless you always,

Kevin

i went through the same thing. Pray the rosary daily. Wear a purity ring! Do everythigny ou can to stop. I changed my coursor on my computer and it is now the Blessed Mother. I also taped praises to God on my computer. i will pray for you!
 
Continued prayers promised. Pray especially the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the rosary.
 
Praying, as I am also trying very hard to stop this same addiction. Try to remember this, as it has helped me alot: Chist said, “Whatever you do to the least of my breatheren you did to me.”
Stop.
When you are thinking about it, wrap a rosary around your hands and start praying like mad so you cant do it.
Go outside and pray, force yourself to. Go to a church if u can.
Stop.
Avoid the places you would normaly go to for it.
BURN the filth you have hidden.
Please Stop.
When you are looking at it, think of Jesus crying at the scene of seeing you fall-because you are a good person, but you arn’t seeing your potential, to make the world better…instead, you waste time making yourself and everyone in those pictures feel inferior.
You may say that’s not true, they aggred and posed for it. But believe me, they feel like dirt-like that is the only way they will be loved. Stop hurting them.
Stop hurting yourself. You are so much better than that, don’t you see God loves you more than anything because you are his.
Just because you were abused in other ways doesn’t make it right. God makes things right. And this is not of God. Stop, and if you still feel tempted try holding a crucifix and doing that ****.
You will see that you can’t. Stop, God will help you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Model of Chastity, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Hello there,

So then, how are things going?

I do pray you are in a strong recovery. Are you?
 
I am praying for you.
May the Holy Spirit give you the strength, first of all, of getting rid of every pornographic material and not yield again to the temptation of looking, listening to or entertaining thougths that may induce you to fall in this sin.
May He help you persevere in not doing it, because this sin gets stronger the more you do it and grows weaker if you stop.
May Jesus, the Chaste Lamb of God, show you the way to use your body not for your own pleasure but for God’s glory and to serve and do good to others.
May Mary, the Virgin, pray for you; may you may turn to her whenever you feel tempted and feel her helping you overcome temptation.

Alma

PS. Please allow me to recommend you this small book:
‘How to profit from your faults’ by Joseph Tissot.
It will help you deal with the guilt of your fallings and find hope and resolve to keep on fighting this.
 
By continuing this act, you have let Pornography and Masturbation become your false God. It’s no different than a person addicted to drugs, alcohol, etc. It becomes their God, what they worship and desire.

You must continue to pray and pray for deliverance from the devil, as he has a hold on you. God has allowed this cross in your life and you must abstain, and keep holy His commandments.

There are many great prayers found in Psalms, particularly, getting deliverance from the enemy. I suggest you look through Psalms and find one that you can recite daily, make it your own plea to God to deliver you from your cross.

Dear God, I beg you to help your son, turn his heart towards you and remove the devil so he can be witness to what you’ve done and give all the Glory to You and rejoice your name forever!
 
Dear Kevin,

Taking a step forward to resolve the problem is a good sign. Keep praying in faith. Jesus will touch and heal you of your troubles.

Keep in mind that GOD knows our intentions before hand.

Praying for you.
