• 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 did good with not mast. /not thinking about sex and having super lustful thoughts for about a month. I gave in twice just recently and feel bad, but not sure what else I can do to stop liking the way it feels/ being addicted.

Not only that I started writing again. Some of my characters cuss/ engage in sex (nothing super graphic & its related to the story, not just in there to be in there)...

I know what Paul says... He said in the scripture to those whose conscious is guilty and they do something anyway then it is a sin.

What I was trying to do was cut off everything not related to God so I could have nothing in my life to distract me, but I still couldn't hear God like I wanted and not only that I felt very blah like I had no personality or creativity without writing. I'm Spirit filled and everything too I just don't know why it feels like God/ life is indifferent towards me. I just want a relationship with God where I actually feel him constantly. I already speak in tongues/ feel the Holy Spirit when I pray, but I want the next level. I still feel like there's more that I need.

That stance is not at all helpful. Behind it there is an unbiblical dualism, the spiritual = prayer, worship, reading the bible etc and the 'natural' = anything else which is inferior to the 'spiritual'.

God created us as humans to live in relationship with him as humans, not as some purely 'spiritual' being. He created this world for us to live in. Being a Christian is not about denying our humanity and living interactively within our world, but having the right perspectives and priorities. That includes our sexuality, which is not being asexual but living with a well integrated, healthily based sex drive.
