Hey all feeling defeated I fell twice today at work no less and feel like a failure I brought my sin to God prayed for forgiveness but I just feel like a fraud after I sinned again. I know God does not track our sins and tally them but I can’t help but do so. I’m in need of prayer and encouragement please thanks

Been really struggling with staying in touch with God because of my addiction to porn. I read Psalm 119:11 about hiding His Word in my heart, and honestly, I need that reminder. Trying to fill that void with daily prayer and more church involvement, but guilt is heavy. Just feel distant from God sometimes. Would love to hear how others are handling this. Any tips on keeping faith strong while dealing with these temptations? Prayers appreciated.

go to jesuscares.com and chat with a brother on there and confess to him and ask for prayers , the bible says confess your sins to one another so you may be healed, its helped me a ton

Hey everyone,

I know a lot of Christians (myself included) have used Covenant Eyes or similar tools to quit porn. Some people find it helpful, but others feel it’s missing something.

I’m working on an alternative accountability tool built specifically for Christians who want to quit porn—but before I go too far, I want to hear from you:

👉 If you’ve used Covenant Eyes (or anything similar), what frustrated you about it?
👉 What features would make an accountability app actually helpful for you?
👉 Would you be willing to pay for something better? If so, what would make it worth the cost?

I’m still in the early stages, so I’d love your honest thoughts. If you're interested in what I'm building, I’d be happy to share more!

Thanks, and praying for everyone on this journey. 🙏

If you get nothing else from this post, remember this one thing: Only God can defeat sin.

Many of you struggling need to hear this and I pray this will help you rethink this battle you are facing. The lie that you are being fed is that God wants you to stop your porn addiction. The reality is you are not equip to do it. Jesus sacrificed himself so that HE could take the burden of sin and fight our battle for us. When we try and succeed in an endeavor, we take the glory and deceive ourselves into thinking that we have the strength to fight on our own. Good wants 100% reliance on Him. Satan will use your own will aa momentum against you, turn it into pride, and find another way to create discontent and imbalance in your life. He will never stop. But if you go to God and ask Him for strength, He can truly do a good work in you and deliver peace in your life. You will still suffer, you will still struggle, but God will fight the battle for you.

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness he responded to Satan with the Word. The Word is the offensive weapon that God gives to us as Christians to fend off fear and temptation. The WORD is GOD. GOD is the WORD. The book of John begins: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

Exodus 14:14 “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still…”

Psalms 91:15 “He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.”

Proverbs 3: 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Use God and use the Word to defeat temptation. Stop relying on your own willpower.

Hey all, we're a group of christian men that do various challenges, and we're in the midst of a purity + scripture memory challenge.

Hopefully our conversation and pursuit of purity is encouraging to you! Give it a listen.

I'm almost on 14th day (which is sunday) without relapsing. This week was really hard for me, but i'm still making progress. I never reached day 14 so I need your prayers so i don't fall back to day 0. I'm not gonna relapse while i'm in the biggest battle in my life. I'll pray to my fallen brothers and for the brothers who is in the battle.

Willing to help if needed

Been reading this book recommended to me by a priest from confession. Really dives in deep about the science of addiction and the root causes. Good read, highly recommend. God bless and please pray for my recovery 🙏

Hello guys. Long time ago I saw a video that recommended to fall sometimes, because, as every addiction, you can't leave it from one day to another. So the idea is to leave it progressively, always increasing your streak. I'm on day 15 and have a really huge urge. I'm fighting with all my heart, but I don't know if I can do it. I don't want to do it, because I don't want to confess every week, but I can't contain myself

Day 15 conquered? Got triggered. Looked at some soft porn pictures. Didn't fap. Still going.

Almost made it a week, I have to stop getting curious and stay focused to beat this.

i'm challenging myself to a 'Fap Free February' 28 days, and hopefully gain the momentum to go for longer.

posting here so i maybe encourage someone to give it a shot too

praying for strength good luck, God bless!

Today marks my 7th day of not masturbating and 4th day of not looking at porn. This js the longest I've made it in a while and I truly thank God for all of it.

I'm gonna keep going and I truly believe that everyone else in this page can do so as well. God bless you all 🙏✝️

Sometimes I feel super good and some days I feeel like I’m back at square one but the thing I’m certain of is that Jesus is King and Lord but I feel as if my actions aren’t showing that and my habits I forgot the verse and how it goes but the things I want to do I don’t do and the things I don’t want to do I do like it’s a endless cycle of feeling great then hopeless but I realize that Jesus’s love for me ISNT based off of how I feel the heart is deceitful so I’m just gonna carry on and pray and read my word if anyone feels the same idk we need to pray this spritul warfar is BAD

I've had experiences of lust being built up over the week from things I see, very similar to the description in James 1.

How do you guys overcome the built up, overbearing desire and passion thats just hungry to be expressed in sin.

This has been the reason for my relapse most of the time.

Any advice that has been helpful to you guys would be appreciated. Thanks

After 10 days, I was doing so well. No temptations what so ever. Why couldn't I make it any further. I need prayers, lots of em

I feel so ashamed of myself. It was the first time I ever went more than 2 weeks. I am going to pray just now and ask for forgiveness. From tomorrow I will start my battle again. Hopefully I go more than 50 days this time. Please help me guys, give some motivation. I dont want to be like this.

Haven’t messed up in a while. So horny. So difficult being 20! Want to be obedient but it’s so hard.

A majority of relapses happen over the weekend, despite the fact that those 2 days only account for 28% of the week.

The reason why is simple.

People have more time on their hands.

With that time, they feel more boredom.

Or they have more time to sit and get into their feelings, which they often don’t know how to process in healthy ways.

When that happens, they feel a pull into escapism like p**n.

Often there are confounding factors like booze or other recreational activities that leave the brain more susceptible to further dopamine, pleasure-seeking behaviors.

And the simplest for last, most people just aren’t very intentional about how they spend their time over the weekend.

They just wander through their days on autopilot doing whatever feels right.

But for a guy who’s autopilot has included p**n for a long time, and now he’s trying to stop, unconsciously coasting that way is a very dangerous game indeed.

So what’s the solution?

1. Being more intentional about how that free time is being spent.
2. Working on curbing other behaviors that make sexual self-control much harder, while introducing (or often, reintroducing) less destructive & more enriching ones instead.
3. Learning how to process whatever uncomfortable feelings are coming up, so you can experience them in a healthy way and move on from them… instead of bottling them & escaping from them. Ironically this is so much easier than escaping. By default the brain wants to “avoid pain” and it thinks the easiest way to do that is through a quick escape, but in reality, that only prolongs the pain..
4. Last but certainly not least, having a premeditated technique in place that can be reliably used to pull yourself back on track when urges come. Because they will come, and when they do, it’s important to know how to fight back (in a way that doesn’t take all your energy, willpower, and time)

Weekends don’t have to be such a battle.

What a day. Little urges here and there but they were just erections and a few tik Tom blue comments that could’ve tempted me but I knew that nope these are a trap.

I had some condemnation to fight and wow did I fight. I stopped sitting and crying about and began to rebuke the devil, reciting Romans 8:1. Scripture really is power. I mean I was shouting in the shower! “Get to out of my head Satan, I am a new creation etc!”

Otherwise grateful to have come this far.

Recently for 2 months, Ive had a porn and masturbation addiction. I tried beating it with God's help and one of the main reasons I started having this addiction is due to heartbreak. I had a 200+ Day streak but got depressed after she went for someone else. Due to depression I started fapping again but decided to change for God. I tried my best even with God's help just right there but I didn't get it. I gone a week without fapping and porn but relapsed (No porn tho) and to my surprise the next day she came back to me. I love her so much to the point I don't even have the urge to jack off now. Thanks God.

I've been trying to do nofap to overcome my 14 year addiction. It's been hard and I'm seeing some decline of getting away from PMO. I don't want to let the devil overtake my life and I'm trying to think about my future relationship and to have a future family without such things getting in the way of it all. I need some sort of motivation and also I've been trying to find therapy but have no insurance or anything and I work the entire weekends and wanting to do anything and everything to be better like I did the first time with 35 days from PMO. Thank yall and God bless yall

I need help overcoming lust , I don’t know what to do I ask God to help but I keep giving in and letting Satan win .

Hi. I'm gonna ruin the sin of lust for all of you; I keep this Bible verse in mind every time I encounter the temptation to lust:

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them (Genesis 1:27).

Next time a woman appears sexually attractive to you, remember that she was created in the image of our Father in Heaven.

God bless you and I praise Him for giving you the victory over lust through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)!

Be careful brothers and sisters. There are some people here who are encouraging others to continue sinning.

Christ said “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

Trust that the Lord has severe punishments for anyone who actively turns His children away from Him. Do not be misled, demons know scripture too. Ask for discernment from the Holy Spirit and continue to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

Adultery is a sin. Lust is a sin, and sex before marriage is a sin. The Lord said “flee”, so be wise and flee, anyone who tells you otherwise is from the evil one. Our Heavenly can bless you with a wife of your own at His perfect time.

Read the word of God and pray to God for protection against temptation, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and obey His commands. He is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. Humble yourself to God and turn away from wickedness, return to the Lord who has mercy.

Read this and leave a comment if you have ideas. I am 19. I stumbled across P at age 9 and was a frequent watcher, not realizing it was a problem at all until age 15. I have been trying to quit since 2020. I have been serious about quitting, yet have been unsuccessful. I have tried quite a bit: nofap(90+day streak achieved 3x), nnn (succeeded 4 times but fall back into the habit after the challenge), P blockers, spent quite a bit on Covenant Eyes, accountibility partners, tried the EasyPeasy method, all eventually turning unsuccessful. January has been rough; I have been using a damn nintendo to access P and have fallen 9 times. I have aspirations for my future. I want to truly live my life in a great way but this is an inhibitor of my potential. I fall into 4-6+ hour binges and have pmo'ed up to about 20 times in a day (seriously). This gets in my way. Any ideas, leave them here. Thank you.

Feeling slightly tired due to waking up too early, but overall I feel hopeful. I got to start planning out my projects again and its helping in keeping my mind off lustful thoughts.

Even though I fell before, I didn’t lose my standing in the Lord. He woke me up again and for that I am thankful.
