Hello I am new here and a Christian

[God4life12345]

Notice: I was never in the porn industry I just have a addiction to watching and masturbaing to porn videos !!
so I have to admit that I had a porn addiction for almost a year and I would quit for a day but end up going back on porn and masturbating and I noticed it was taking a toll on my life so one day I mad a holy oath to stop watching porn and masturbating to it but I would always end up breaking it and feeling really guilty and shameful so I haven’t watched porn for about a moth because I made a holy vow I wold stop so I haven’t been watching porn but today I felt the strong urge to watch porn and touch but I know it’s really sinful to break a holy vow but the urge was to strong I ended up on a porn site multiple porn sites but I didn’t watch the videos I started to pray to god to help me and give me a sign to stop but after I didn’t end up masturbating to porn but I still feel scared because I ended up on multiple porn sites after I made a holy vow I wouldn’t I am scared and feel really guilty can god forgive a broken vow ???????

Pray to God for help with your passions.

Otherwise, go see an Orthodox priest, and ask him about fasting. Fasting helps to develop disciplines against the passions.

As for the broken vow - just try not to make them. Remember, noone is or has ever been perfect except for Jesus Christ. We're not Him.
