Homosexuality

[PianistSang]

Something that has struck me. It first came to me when I was like 12, I just looked at pictures online that came up. Then it got worse and worse.
I was just hooked on porn.
So, I decided to stop. And stop I did, for about a week and a half now.

But still, I felt that I couldn't move on. I don't know why. I left it behind, but something tells me I need to tell this to someone just to proclaim that I left my old self behind. But Im just too scared to tell others. I don't know many peopel that I can trust, and I think that one that I can trust would just be too shocked by this.
I feel that i have been tainted. But I want to move on!
What should I do?

I proclaim that I looked at gay pornography, but now, I have moved on, to become new.

I don't know if I should tell someone I know, or to proclaim solely to God and here and move on.


Confused. Weak. Depressed. Cornered

Here is a wonderful place to talk to people! I have to tell you that I'm struggling with homosexuality really bad and it's been hyped up even more since an incident that happened recently... I also want to tell you that you're not alone in this, and that we're all here for you. Also, I have some advice for you, it doesn't seem like much, but it really is a lot... It's difficult tho, and you have to want a change. Pray. Pray. Pray. Four simple letters, P.R.A.Y. It's as simple as that, and yet it's that difficult too! You have to want this change so bad that it HURTS. God can do all, but you have to help God too... You have to want this change... and you probably won't be able to do it alone, and that is where the friends come in. Along with praying for a change, you have to pray for direction towards some kind of person who God desires you to confide in... You can't trust just anyone... which I'm sure that you're aware of... One thing that I'm having difficulties getting in touch with is all the other possible changes that could occur along with the change I want, the change I need... I fear for that... and yet I want it so bad... But ya know what, it's not just about what I want... It's what God wants, be open to change, as hard as that seems, you will get through this, you will grow from this, and life will go on... It won't be easy tho... and it will be on God's time... God be with you my friend, I'm here for you!

Thanks for that advice. Really good. I've been praying for someone I can really trust, someone that maybe is close to my age. Cause sometimes, adults are more distant.
Im not having anymore homosexual things going on, it's just I have this icky feeling like I'm still tainted and that I need to confess to someone I know.

Brother,
I just want to encourage you to know that your not alone and that we can be free
from a lifestyle of sin. I also want to encourage you to know that your sin is no different
than the heterosexual viewing porn. I realized at a very young age that I was attracted
to the same sex. One thing I realized through a course called the door of hope, is that just because I have same sex attractions doesn't make me a homosexual. Also just because I am attracted to the same sex doesn't mean I am sinning. you see attraction
is neutral, just like temptation both are not sin, however it is what you do with it. people have crazy thoughts every day but the key is they don't act on them, and you don't. please PM me with any questions. I would also be willing to stand as your accountability partner in the case that you want to remove porn from your life(thats assuming you haven't already). Lastly I want you to know that it is true you are a new creation but yours and my old man, the old nature is still very much alive. Hence the reason that Paul said I die Daily. So keep putting that flesh to the cross every day
