Hi there. I'm a 21 year old male living in Canada. Since I was 14, I have struggled with inappropriate contentography as a major fixation.
A couple of years ago, I felt like I was recovering. I gave in to the desire to view inappropriate contentography less, viewing only a 'healthy' amount. Well, that was a dumb place to stop. I'm getting the impression lately that being a Christian means giving up all your sin. Trying to hold on to a little here and there leaves a bad taste in my mouth now.
The bible's pretty clear about that. Bitter and fresh water can't flow from the same spring, good and bad fruit on the same tree, temple of God, temple of demons, right? So I stopped. Or tried to, at least.
It's a habit. I can't go more than a few days without letting my guard down. I was so comfortable for so long, and I thought it was ok to just have a little now and then. Now it's breaking my heart every time I do it. I want it all the way gone from me. I believe I can do it, and God has been really clear on the matter. He doesn't think I should have anything to do with it, so I don't either.
So hit me guys. Where do I start? How do I break the habit? I don't have patience for 'relapses' or any of that stuff. That just means its not gone. So where do I go, really? Is it an attitude of the heart that I need to adopt? I feel like I've got to change something about myself, not just overcome this one particular issue with willpower.
Well, thanks, guys. I appreciate your advice if you've been through this or know how to break it.
