Battling sexual urges

[Mackenzie Baker]

For seven years I was addicted to watching and looking at porn before wanting to come back to serving the lord. It's been about two weeks since I've returned to the faith and the urges and temptations I've been experiencing have been really strong. I slipped up a few times in the last two weeks and felt terrible every time I gave in to temptation. I prayed for the lord to forgive me every time I pleased myself and asked him to give me the strength to overcome the urges I've been experiencing. Though it's been gradually getting easier to resist the urges, there are times when they hit really hard. I've taken the extra steps to get rid of collections of photos and video collections to make sure I wouldn't be tempted. Are there any other suggestions I should do to avoid any future urges?

Try anti depressants. They can lesson the sex drive. But as a Christian, just keep getting up. Even five times a day. No matter how much falling the remedy always remains that you identify yourself as a new creation and attribute these sins to your old man, the flesh, not you.
