Glad to see a strong community trying to help! that's important.
OP, that's a shame about your relapse, but you have analyzed where you went wrong and have a plan to correct it. Stick to that plan!
>I know no one cares and the Flanders bro is just gonna give me the same encouragement again but I once again jerked off and once again want to kill myselSounds like you got the dopamine troubles. That happens. This brain chemistry is POWERFUL. God's creative design? Millions of years of evolution? Moot point. It's a strong powerful force and fighting it will be hard.
>>44087This friend is right. Those 4cuck boards post the gooner stuff because they don't want you to improve. When i was younger i didn't believe all the stories i heard about evil, but as i grew up and saw the world i realized just how silly and foolish i was. That's the downside of the internet is that we can encounter more bad people. The good side is we can encounter good ones too.
You are having a bit of a spiritual crisis, because you are trying to do something important. You are trying to make your mind and body the way it was intended before the modern soul pollution. That's what porn is, soul pollution. It's hard. We all struggle with it. That's why the victories we have are so sweet.
We should avoid porn because it is toxic. It's akin to an animal drinking antifreeze. it tastes sweet but it kills them. Porn is very much like that. You don't stand next to a tire fire and say "i will myself not to get lung cancer" Does not work that way. Saying "God will protect me", while walking into the danger without a good reason is also bad. God says "don't do that" that's His way of protecting us. It's a great way too, as you avoid all that wasted effort and risk.
Daniel was THROWN into the lions den, he did not jump in. Joseph RAN from his bosses wife. We run from the temptation when we can, and pray and steel our minds when we can't. Jesus knows we are weak, and he knows we have the potential to be strong. Christianity is a faith based on REDEMPTION. Part of redemption is striving for it.
Keep up the good fight! As we become better people we slowly make this world a better place.
