• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is a bit of a confession along with just asking for advice. I struggle with lust and it's felt easier as of late to give in to it. Even though I know I'll only feel regret and shame afterwards. But I keep coming back to it because I just love it. It brings me good feelings. I have fantasies that idk if they could be lived out in a Christian marriage but I still desire and hope they can. I know that the pleasures are only good for a season but man they just seem so easy to give into. It shouldn't I guess be surprising either cause when i start to dwell on these thoughts and give in it just feels good. The issue is like I said when I give in after dwelling on it i feel shame and guilt afterwards. I'm not going to lie and say I dont enjoy this sin in the moment because I do. It's only afterward that my view changes. I've looked to see if there was a pill I could take just to kill my sexual desires or do something more extreme. Does anyone else feel this way with there sin? I know that this is referring to my sexual sin but I also have struggles with non sexual sins too like i'm sure everyone else does and could see areas in my life where my love for sin goes beyond sins that are sexual.
