• 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.

You need to find a guy at your church to talk this through with. Ask him to keep you accountable, one thing that lots of guys struggling with masturbation like to do is phone up their accountability partner whenever the temptations occur - run away from temptations and run straight to God.

This is probably the best advice I can give you at this point.

Dont focus on trying to stop your habit. You will almost always fail. If you do this you are fighting against your own body, and its like punching yourself in the face: It gets you nowhere. Hormones are powerful motivators. They are also impossible to change so you have to deal with them.


So, basically you got to realize that there is not much you can do by yourself. This is where trusting in the Lord becomes very important. Ask God to take control of this problem for you. Doing so wont mean your problem will go away in the morning; the Lord does things on his own terms, not yours. But it does mean that God will take the problem and deal with it according to His will... and trust me, His will is a lot better than yours.
