Struggling with masturbation

[Bulldawg]

I am trying to figure out how to stop this. I have been struggling with masturbation since I was 14 (I am 22 now) and didn’t know it was wrong until a couple of years ago. I have been trying so hard to stop it. But almost every week I fall. I go to confession every week but still end up falling.

Then when I fall I get really sad and feel so guilty. And I want to hide in my house until I can go to confession on Saturday. How do I stop?? Is it ok for me to live my life until I can go to confession on Saturday? Or do I need to hide in my house?

Something really works for me and I’ll share. I don’t usually post about this stuff

I had a problem with it especially when I was feeling a lot of anxiety. I have actually found something that gets rid of my anxiety and hence, my desire to “M” goes away.

While in bed and about to go to sleep, I pray the Rosary and ask Blessed Mary to give me the graces to overcome my anxiety and desire to please myself.

To my surprise…it actually works!!!

I heard a lot of houpla over the Rosary, but didn’t really take it seriously until Oct 7 of this year (Holy Rosary day) and began praying the Rosary every night…and WOW!

btw…you are HUMAN…don’t hide in your house! Don’t be so hard on yourself. God loves you and the fact that you are sending out this post shows that you love God very much. You should admire your desire to please God.
