Perhaps he is suggesting that you find an accountability partner, a guy you trust whom you can call and pray with when you get into these urges and someone to help keep you in check.

I havn't got any good friends like that. cry
What other choices have I got? And I hate to admit it, but the urge became so great, I did it again. By 'it', I mean 'it'. sad
So, now I'm back to square one. I'm too scared to tell my parents, I'm too afraid to admit to someone that I have this problem, and I have no good friends who can stand by me right now. So what other choices, or, suggestions you urge me to take action with, are there?


We all fall at times, but it isn't that we fall that defines our failures, it's our giving up when we do fall. I have had times where I have been in the same situation where I was doing good, but then fell back into it. Keep going and get back up, you were good for two weeks, go for another two weeks, or four, or six...

Is there a pastor that you can talk with? Or some other church leader that you can trust? If you are part of a youth group, is there a leader there that you can talk with? I am sure that they would not mind, that's why they are in youth ministries.

There's quite possibly one of the greatest assistant pastors at my church who works as youth minister.

He's awesome. He's helped my deal with a few problems in my family that I'd like to keep confidential, but this just feels so much different than what I did get help with. It's so embarassing and the guilt would dig down deep, I mean so deep, it's tearing me apart. I feel absolutely terrible. Do you really think he would hold me dear to him even after this? redface


If I were in his situation, I would still hold you dear. I had a close friend tell me that he had a history of struggling with lust and internet porn. I didn't think less of him, in fact I respect him even more for having faced that struggle and come out successful. He may be a little surprised, but I would hope that he would do what he can to help you through these trials.

Guys, I feel like the urge is coming back very strongly now. Someone please talk to me or pm me. crying


you really need to find someone to share yourself with
then perhaps the urge will...change focus

What the heck is that supposed to mean?? You want me to seduce someone to resist the urge to lust about actually having sex??? Boy, you crazeh!!!


im just saying that maybe making the change from sex diprived to adiquitly attended to may change the way you look at sex
then it wouldn't be lust

Isn't the root of the taboo on masturbation really waste and cleanliness

just saying there are easy ways of removing wastefulness and non-cleanliness from the equation.

Guys, I'm going back into school tomorrow and I'm still not 'cleansed'. Just pray for me further, that I find a freedom from this torment. I really hate it right now. Pray for vindication from my addiction. It's intensified ever since I had re-started a few days ago. Pray theres a calm on the horizon of this ocean.

......God, help me out. I call in this one favor...as I have many a time before.......That's how awesome a God He is; He'll always forgive me, no matter how many times I let Him down, He'll never let me down...... wink

I just get a random message that reads alert at the top. When I go to the bottom right corner and right-click it, and press 'About', it'll show a pop-up, and the window asking for my information for accountability partners will just disappear. Then, after I mouse over the active program symbol in the bottom right corner, it'll disappear and stop the alerts. LoL
I have no clue whats going on, but I want it to stop so I don't have to deal with that everytime I turn on my computer. xp
