[/quote] Praise God for this. Lean on Him for your strength and take it one day at a time. They say a habit is established after something like 30 days of repetition (forget the exact number) so after awhile it will become more natural for you not to do this sin. Prayers for you.

All sin separates us from Him, even just a little, so you can be assured that He is most pleased with any efforts on our part to come closer to Him. Ask Him to help strengthen you in your battle.

CatherineM Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 It can take 6 weeks to 6 months to change a habit, so just be patient and gentle with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixpence Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Prayers!! You can do it!! My advice is this... it is possible that you will mess up, but don't let it throw you off track!! Just keep up your effort as if your record was spotless! So many times when I mess up there is kind of a subconscious thought like "o well, I have to go to confession anyhow... it doesn't matter what I do now" but it is SOO not true!

Papist Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Go to confession weekly to same priest. It will help you in that you will not want to confess the same sin over and over again to the same priest. Put up crucifixes in every room. It will be difficult to do such a thing staring at a crucifix. Keep in mind, it is God's will you don't do such a thing, and take comfort in that you are compliant to God's will. Don't do such a thing for the love of Jesus Christ, you Savior, not for building muscle[if you want protein, eat a steak]. Think of it as body building for your soul. Good luck and God bless you.

Brother Adam Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Keep up the fight on behalf of the 9 out of 10 people here who are using masturbration, pornography, contraception, prostitution, pre-marital sex, adultery, or other means of sexual sin and also feel like they can't stop. You can, and will become one of the 1 in 10 who overcame it so far. \\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Here are some helpful suggestions I came across for overcoming this: [url="http://ldolphin.org/mormon.html"]Here[/url] [url="http://www.moonmac.com/Mormon_masturbation.html"]Here[/url] If we can live chaste, you can, too! Just look at all the Priests and Sisters, etc. that are faithful to chastity. Edited November 26, 2011 by JoyfulLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudreyGrace Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Such a great thing that you're on the path towards becoming holier! This is definitely God's will for you. Just keep in mind when it gets rough to continue, that "no pain, no gain". Gold has to be put through fire in order to become beautiful. Prayers for you!
