• 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.

I tried to stop masterbating, so through out the years i have made several promises to Him. they were to limit how many times i would do it, they included anything from how long in between "sessions" i would go to even what color soap to use. Ive been doing this for years and i realized that i dont remember every promise made, so there are times where i can actually be breaking a promise. i know this sounds weird, i actually was amused while typing it. but is there anything i could to do help myself in this situation?

Nathan...

I have some things to say about this topic, but not in an open forum.

If you would like to discuss, send me an e-mail. All my contact information is in my profile.

If you feel uncomfortable doing that, then I also suggest you go the The Men's Corner and review some of the posts that have been made there.

Blessing

This is the correct forum to discuss this topic. I am sorry more people have not come here to help you.

One thing to do is to work on not masterbating at all. Try to go as long as possible without "sessions" (as you call it). When you start a "session" make yourself stop immediately and distract yourself by doing something else... watch TV, read a book, pray, read the bible, get up and dance, exercise (like sit ups or jumping jacks... or even going for a jog).
