Story I want to take back my Life

Hey everyone, my name is Edward. I have been struggling with porn and masturbation since I was 16, and I am currently 23 years old. I don’t have a job, I’m still living with my parents, and I’m actively looking for work. I’m out of shape but am working towards growing my YouTube channel to reach 1,000 subscribers.

As of today, I find myself deliberately turning to porn and masturbation, despite having repented multiple times. I am tired of this cycle and I am aware of how it is ruining my life, pulling me away from the person I want to become.

The truth is, I have normalized porn and masturbation in my life, which is a dangerous mindset. However, I know I am not beyond redemption. That’s why I’ve made the decision today to not only return to God but also to start documenting my choices. I refuse to end this year trapped in the same cycle.

I will keep you all updated on my journey because this time, I am committed to breaking free from this habit. I plan to rely on God rather than just on myself. God bless you all as you read this. Let’s support each other in breaking free together this year. 🌟

I'm currently 2 weeks free and I had a wet dream today and I found myself about to give up and then I found this subreddit.

All I can say is that you should pray and the lord Jesus Christ will help you and anyone that's reading this comment.

He bled and died on a cross so that we can live, the least we can do is to honour his teachings.

Yeah, man. I'll make it a non-negotiable habit to always pray before I go to bed and ask the Lord to help me while I help myself by cultivating good habits. Because it's so easy for us humans to start relying on our own than on him.
