• 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.

Ok this is what you have to discide. Weather your gonna follow sin or God.
If your being temped that's OK, it's if you act on them thats wrong. Just keep asking God to help you overcome it. It's not easy, trust me, but you gotta keep going forward. If you choose God, you having to make a true effort to change, it's very hard for me. Just be as diffient with sin as possible, that's what I do, just use the natural rebelion for good.

I'm sure someone wiht more experiance can give you better advice, but this is what I have to say. It would be better for someone else to go to heaven then for me selfishly focus on myself.

I struggled with this issue and have known there was something wrong with me since I was 5 or 6. I am now freed of it and let me tell you, no matter how close to God I thought I was before, there is nothing like it is now.

When I was living my life of sexual immorality, I was going further and further down the wrong path. My heart was shattered and screaming with every searing sin. I was a heavy drinker and smoking came into my life as well. And I told my mother when I was drunk one night earlier this year. She told me that God doesn't think I'm an abomination and that I had but to reach out to Him.

When I finally did, He broke me of my sin. He pushed it all out of my life and made it not matter. The memories don't even matter. He not only forgave me, but He forgot about it too! I don't even have sexual urges anymore. I am living celebate and I believe that is the right thing for me until God's plan reveals more. I still have temptation like everyone else, but when I cry out to Jesus for help, He hears me and chases them away.

I praise God for his mercy and grace. His glory in freeing such a wretch like me is awesome!

If your parents are godly, they will not reject you, but they will reject the sin in your life, as my mother did, so be prepared for that. I thank God that my mother is who she is...

There is a course that is Scripture-based at http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/ that is tailored toward people struggling with this, called The Door of Hope. You can also take The Way of Purity, if you wish. They are 60-Day courses and you submit coursework and get replies.

I pray that you don't have to go through years and years of pain and confusion.

May God's Light Shine Upon You.
