• 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.

Hello, I am seeking advice for a dear friend. For several years now she has struggled with this issue and is now engaged. Thru acctability she has disclosed that however infrequent (every other month or so) and "unimaginitive" (w/o thoughts, simply acting) she can not break the habit. She senses that either God is testing her faithfulness to her husband to be or giving her a "practice field".. I don't know what to do. I am tempted here too. so far I've reisted, but I know what guilt sounds like...

--help, thanks

Well I recently married, having struggled for some months to avoid the sin of self abuse (I passed the test, but it was hard for me), and I have this to say... Now I know what an amazingly intense and powerful feeling it is to have an [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] I thank God I never did it when I was single, because I would probably have become addicted and it could have made it a lot harder for me to remain a virgin and become a wife.
