I have hade the same problem as buckr02. I was on week 2 and 1/2 but recently gave in. For some reason ( im fine now ) I got so depressed. I was underneath my covers crying about it. Basically i think i can make it farther now that i got that far. But i need prayers on not getting depressed. Im not feeling giulty any more im going to confession soon. but when i was depressed i was underneath my covers crying all over the place. and i actually started rubing my head agianst the wall and counted up to 120 but i got bored of counting. but i felt bad this wholle day. So i need prayers just that the relationship between God and me doesnt decrease (because i got kindve negative and mean on accident while resisting temptation:( )
and prayers that i can get over this and still remain in Catholic church. -thx

I’m sorry you have to go through this. I offered the other person you mentioned some advice, and I think it applies to you also. So I will cut and paste it here.
“How wonderful that you are even trying, and so hard at that. God sees that and is very pleased with that. 🙂 Trying counts for a lot with God. Don’t ever quit trying, no matter how many times you may fall. Please keep praying and trying, no matter what. God will get you through this, have faith in Him and trust in His love for you. And you are doing great. Keep that good friend, and make best friends with Jesus during this difficult time.”

As for other advice, you mentioned you will be tempted to do this again in a week. Where are you when this temptation strikes? Who are you with? Are you with someone beforehand? Are you reading something? Watching t.v.? The internet? If so, you might seriously consider not being there, or limiting your time spent in that place, with that person, or that form of entertainment. Even if it’s nothing bad in and of itself. If its bad in and of itself, like pornography, drop it like a red hot iron! That would be my advice. Prayers for you! 🙂

Headaches beforehand? Or headaches from the guilt after doing it? You might have a minor medical problem, such as depression or something similar that needs treated. That, along with continued prayer and trips to church and confession, might help you be more successful in conquering these urges. Just some thoughts. Prayers. 🙂

Hi Mini gerbel,

Try a cold compress, (for the headache). You’ll lose the urge real quick… 😃 👍 I agree with LovingHim, you need to find something to distract you from whatever is bringing about the temptation.

I’ll keep you in my prayers.

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, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Continued prayer for you. Stand up straight and tall. You are special to God and He loves you just as you are. He sees your tears and He cries with you. He promises you a better tomorrow. He whispers : “Be not afraid. I am with you always. I will comfort you. I will always be here for you and I promise never to leave you”. Look up minigerbel ! The sun is always in the sky. Its only hidden by the clouds for a little while. This too will pass and you will be well again. Nothing lasts forever. You are here for a reason and you are needed because God don’t make no junk ! Be gentle and kind to yourself remembering you are human and not divine.
Say a mantra : God loves me…God loves me…God loves me…and believe it because it is true.

The light of God surrounds me
The love of God enfolds me,
The power of God protects me,
The Presence of God watches over me
Wherever I am, God is. And all is well.

God never turns from us…not ever - no matter what we may have done. It is we who turn away from Him and His Loving Mercy most often found in the Sacrament of Penance …remember saints are sinners who don’t give up no matter what. Keeping you in daily prayer…
 
MiniGerbel:

I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this difficult time.

I’m praying for you to be stronger when temptations attack you.

Prayerfully,

Renato
 
thx for prayers all. im not on porn any more. i havent been on it for a long time but its masturbation. thx again all
 
**Well as a woman…not sure I have much to add in this department except that I do understand sexual sin and what a harm it is to ourselves as the temple of God. That being said, I’m speaking with some experience that this is a temptation maybe even an evil presence that drives us to do things against our bodies that are not good for us. If it leads us to feel badly later, something has to be wrong with it. Admittedly you are in a way better place seeking help…that could’ve saved me a decade of pain. Okay so enough advice…let’s pray.

Jesus, we ask that you as the Multiplier of All pour out your Mercy on this soul. See the attempts to fight temptation and help him to see your face when brought into tempation. We ask that his eyes would be fixed on you daily. We know that you suffered greatly in the garden and it was there that you experience the mental trials we experience. Hear us our Savior, there are many of us who need your presence to lead us away from the temptations the enemy places before us.

We ask the guardian angel of this soul to contine to fight and pray for him, and we bless him for working so diligently to enable some acknowledgment and some restain to be present.

We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.

You might even want to take back up the guradian angel prayer OR the litany for the poor holy souls is a good long take your mind off it type of thing!

God bless!! wendy **
 
Hi MiniGerbel,

As someone that truly knows what you’re going through, I think I have some things that could help.

You said that porn isn’t a problem, which is good. If it ever is though, even occasionally, I would suggest a content blocker. And even if it isn’t a problem, maybe someone else will read this and think of it. The program I use is called Naomi (radiance.m6.net/) and it works great. It uses a password, so what I did was make a really long password I couldn’t remember and then gave it to my brother.

Ok, another thing I would suggest which has helped me a lot in the last 9 days is to start writing in a journal. This helps for two reasons:
  1. Firstly, if you always fall into sin when you are sad and depressed, writing in a journal is a GREAT way to let out your feelings in a productive and safe way.
  2. I am planning on sharing my journal with my wife some day (if i get married), and so writing in my journal is almost like me needing to answer to her. I say to myself, how would I feel telling her all the times I failed, when instead I could tell her of all the times I succeeded in saying “NO!”
My third piece of advice is to stay busy! Lately, when I’m having temptation and am stagnant at home, I’ve started playing video games or reading or coming on this forum to get inspiration. In general, though, I’ve just been busier with homework and seeing friends and working, and it’s really helping.

Finally, go to confession frequently! It has unbelievable powers.

These are things that I’ve only just started implementing in my life, but they’ve helped very drastically. I’m on day 9! Every day is a new longest streak for me now and it feels great. Good luck, I’m here for you and know what you’re going through, and I’m praying for you because I know how hard it is.

God bless

God bless you Buck. You have such a good heart to share and care so much about Mini. I will keep you in my prayers. I posted a response to your other post and have not forgotten about you.

Mini, I absolutely love your sense of humor. I have seen other posts…the one where you said may the Lord smite her…hee, hee. You have a way of making me laugh. God bless you. I am keeping you in prayer.

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, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
