• 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.

With touching yourself. I hate this disgusting act and want to stop, but before I've done it i don't feel bad and after, I do. (and it repeats again and again) It puts a wall up between me and God... Could anyone pray that this would stop permanently and that I just wouldn't want to do it any longer? Thanks

I'm struggling in this area in my life too. Does anyone have any tips when the urges/desires comes how to stop and go in a different direction? What means did you take since porn is so readily available i.e. on the internet, T.V., etc.???

I would appreciate any advice given on the subject. Thanks

Heya!
1) Install K9 filter to prevent prn or other stuff... A close friend must take care of passwords and stuff. Sometimes it's so tempting to disable them
2) When I feel urge I repeat 2 Tim 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace.

God Bless!
