r/NoFapChristians

verything i did to get to here is useless i just relapsed eveyrthing that ive been working towards is js ruined. All the benefits of not doing this horrid sin is gone. the temptation for the past few days has been eating at me but it got to me. I hate myself for doing this

i feel empty nd rlly annoyed, i finally got clean.
At least i feel like i never want to do it again, hopefully that feeling continues

i hate that i have to start over now, from the start
have to beat this temptation again

i hate this i really do
I ruined my streak
part of me really wants to ignore this nd continue w my streak nd act like this never happened, cuz truly i don’t think it will

i don’t even know

I ask because I feel like pleasure, whether sexual or not, feels like the best thing to value.

I wish to redirect my mind to other things to look forward to. To do this, I'm brainstorming here with this community.

I am f 23 and fell like no guy would like me if I open up and tell them the truth about me. Maybe this is me overthinking but I am unsure.

Im 15 and when i was younger I somehow wondered onto a stripping website, and after that it was cooked. I never masturbated but I woukd watch. Then I would masturbate like 3 times between 12 and early 15. But recently I started doing it more and ive caught on that i literally cant sleep without doing it and its bad. But the thoughts only come at night and its overwhelming anything else I do. Ive tried sleeping with white noise, no noise music, stories, podcasts, none of it worked a d the images overpower everything. I dont really watch porn when I do it but I have fantasies. Does anyone have any advice, especially how it only happens at night?

Last night and tonight have been so hard, but you all helped me stay on the right path last night.

Thank you for your guidance, and most of all for your prayers. I need all the prayers I can get right now. Satan is always tempting me, but I'm trying to keep my eyes on Christ.

For a while now I been struggling with Lust. It been trying so Hard to get rid of it but over and over and it finds it way back. In my days of Pornography it just kept going further down the root. Getting eviler and eviler. And I grieve. Avoid it for a week or longer and repeats. But today it basically broke me. And I can't get my ears opened enough to hear Him.

So this originally is a cause from loneliness. I do not have a relationship. And as of now. I must go the other direction. I must find a way to defeat this to victory not with my own Soul Level but God's. But this is such a struggle. So I don't think God wants me to have a relationship right now. But the one with him. He is my relationship.

So I been thinking about the Imortant Commandment. Matthew 22:37

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

What is a relationship with anyone else when I cant even focus on the one with the Lord as well in Spirit and not in the flesh. I want to Put God First. So I wanna wake up and call to Him. I want to call him before doing any type of task. I want to even pray to him even before watching a movie, games, art, and all that I do. So I can focus better on him. And be more obedient.

But my Mind surely fights. Its sometimes aginst God and the Ememy is trying so hard to get me away from the Faith.

So I ask for Prayers for my Walk. I have not a clue whats to come now. As my Mind is a Wretched. And Hurts..

I also struggle with ADHD and Autism. And it's hard to deal with my mind. Specially with Axeity and Anger.

I heard that abruptly stopping an addiction or cold turkey never works out well. What should I do as a christian?

I watched p again, and I went back to watching the escalated things I hate myself for watching. Yet I keep going back to scroll through nsfw twitter. Even if there's no mo involved I still feel like I'm back at square one psychologically. (feeling demotivated, exhausted, etc.)

Not really a relapse but I feel lile one is gonna come very soon. I started my day off fine, then a sudden thought of my brain telling me not do do it today struck me. But this just made my fantasies worser. Every hour it started tempting me to PMO again. I just did a couple of basketball drills every time I think of it. I don’t think I can hold on for long though. Any tips or motivation would be appreciated.

Just hit day 50 (it’s just a few minutes after midnight). I knew it was possibly but holy moly I’m actually here this is surreal. Thank the Lord for strength and peace of mind during this run. Now to just do it all over again with different terrain.

Stay strong, soldiers 🫡

Trying to break free of lust addiction, but get attacked the most in dreams, how can I overcome and break free of this?

I’ve been dealing with a pretty strong lust addiction since I was a kid,(11-13) and since I got baptized at 20 have realized, how strong my temptations have gotten.
I know it is the devil whom is tempting me and realize that usually by the end of each night and sometimes, more than anything, I get attacked in my dreams.

When is say attacked I just mean;
the fantasy’s almost come to life when asleep. I genuinely have the strongest feelings to wake up and just break the streak/go pick up a vape at the store.
While I know it is spiritual, there is only so much I can do, and despite praying to overcome said addiction, I tend to tell the more I focus and pray about it the stronger the urge gets.
It sucks, although I’m about day 4-5 of soberness, I know the second I change my mind and let down my guard, I will fall back into weeks if not months of addiction.

It’s a cycle and want to break free but genuinely know there are demons whom come out the strongest when I’m close to breakthrough

Any tips?

I'm a woman in my early 20s and I've watched porn ever since I was 9 years old. I know it's not an excuse but it's hard having a higher sex drive; I just don't know where to healthily direct the sexual energy. It also feels so good to give in but then I feel sorry afterwards. I wonder how I'm supposed to navigate having a higher sex drive while being a single Christian. It seems like there's kind of no outlet for us. Not sure what to do after failing so many times.

I said to myself I would stop masturbating

I’ve been betrayed by family excluded and used

I went back to my bd habit and it doesn’t even feel good anymore

I feel broken.

I know I don’t want to fap anymore and I’ve been going to gym and keeping 60/40 healthy diet and doing my cardio and prayer with hopes of cleaning my room but I feel broken

Hello I'm from the aus and I am very ashamed of my actions

So I must stop fapping once and for all can you guys please give me tips on how to get the urges to stop I'm 16 btw and I ask that you guys to assist me as much as you can.

Thanks 🙏

I’m a 28 years old married man struggling with the addiction. The last time I was clean for more than a week was in 2017 - almost 10 years ago - when I was able to manage it for about 4 months.

At the time, as a Christian, I didn’t want to have sex before marriage. I’ve met a girl at my university who wasn’t Christian and things got complicated. That’s when the addiction took over again.

Nowadays, I can get 3 or 4 days without it, maybe a week. But I start to lose control shortly after, usually triggered by some emotional distress.

now I am never going back again

I'm a 43 year old woman, who struggled with porn/masturbation for years, until about a year ago, when I started learning about fasting. Went on a whim, did a 3 day dry fast here and there. At first, I didn't realize what happened but my desire for it slowly stopped. I didn't want to abuse my temple, (body) where the Holy Spirit lives. Not going to lie, I do still get intrusive thoughts to do it again but I quickly rebuke it, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Heyy,

Lately I've been struggling to avoid lustful thoughts or fantasies/masturbation about people I know. I haven't watch any porn or read or listened to any sexual media but struggle with the thoughts, feelings and fantasies when I first wake up or late at night even when I am not on my phone. As a woman, how do I handle this?
