for anyone who cares literally at all I have to confess something. I've been struggling massively with addiction for a while now. I'm not exactly comfortable saying what the addiction actually is but I've been trying for months to quit. and every single time I try, I succumb to the temptation. I'm making a mockery of Jesus's sacrifice, and I hate it, and I want nothing more than to be able to overcome my addiction, but I simply don't have the strength. what am I supposed to do? it's really starting to feel hopeless.

Fight. Fight against it. Idle hands do the devils business. And try to get away from the object that giving you access. Like porn for example. I didn’t say break it to pieces. Of course that does work. But try to get away from it. If it’s a pc it’s easier. Usually gaming on such pc does this. Then it’s the phone. Incognito mode...just don’t use it. Fight this evil. Pray to God during those urges. Pray to Jesus for help. Go outside, something different, get on your knees and pray. You know how you feel afterwards. I did. We don’t want to feel that anymore. That failure. Don’t hurt yourself. What makes God happy? Think about this. What makes Satan happy? Your torment. Don’t give him the satisfaction. You’re in a fight. Be the victor. Be amazing. It’s just flesh (I’m assuming here). If you can trust someone enough irl to tell then try. If not then Jesus is right there. Go outside, look at the stars at night. Get away from those images. Turn your head. I’ve stopped playing certain games because it makes me “think”. Personally women are beautiful to me. I see them. And then I know how I should be thinking. I’ve won my battle a year ago. No mistakes in that area in a year. I’m with ya brother. Addiction sucks. But we are better than our addiction. And for what Jesus did for us, there are things worth fighting for. You got this man. 👍❤️🙏
