I feel I have sex addiction and I made a promise to God to not have sex until i was married again. I have failed in my promise and I ask for prayers. Or a way to beat this addiction and to truthfully live out my promise to God

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

James 3:15
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.

1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

According to St Paul, flesh is from your own, the world and devil.

So, get marry asap.
Stay away the flesh of the world and devil.

Jesus the Savior must carry your sins for you every time you commit. Run very far away from the sins or the flesh.

You can get help for sex addiction, if you believe you have one. Counseling may help you - perhaps also talk to your Priest and ask for his advice.

This is not good advice. First, he already knows it’s sinful. That’s why he’s trying to stop. Giving him Bible verses about how bad it is just beating up on him for no reason.

Second, “get married ASAP” is a bad idea. You shouldn’t rush into marriage just so you can have sex. Also, if he genuinely does have a sex addiction, he needs to address that before he’s a good candidate for marrying someone.

Exactly what I was going to say. Marriage won’t cure a sex addiction.

Edited to add: You are in my prayers. Stay close to our Blessed Mother. Let her guide you.

I agree. If your “addiction” is just wanting to have sex, then it might be good, but usually an addiction means that you want variety and novel experiences. Having those compulsions would ruin your spouse.
 
Hey Texas. I’ve found a rosary to be a really helpful. Also a Jesus I trust in you prayer, can help during temptation.

Also focus on your goals, put your time in that direction when tempted!
