Hello, this is my first day here, I need to talk to someone. I am 43 years old and have been engaging in some very serious sexual sin for awhile now. (deep breath) This is the first time I have ever admitted it; my desire is to stop and I need help. I need so much to have an accountability partner. Please help me.

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'd be glad to help you as well. I am not sure what your specific situation is, but I have a lot of knowledge in this area from myself, family, etc. (For myself, I have overcome those issues...but I can still relate to the struggles, the causes and what it takes to be an overcomer). Feel free to PM or e-mail me if you'd like.
God Bless You!

I suggest joining a men's group at your church and privately discussing it with one of them ... the one who shows the most humility, who considers others more than himself. I'm guessing this has to do with online pornography ... so here's some tips:Toastedoats said:
1. Stay away from the internet while at home. Only access it at places like a public library where people can easily see what you're looking at.
2. Let your wife know, if you have a wife. If you don't, tell your pastor or tell the deacon in your church who is assigned to you.
3. Visit www.xxxchurch.com which has supposedly helped thousands of folks like you overcome the habit of online pornography.
4. Stop killing kittens. Learn to control yourself! Self control is a fruit of the Spirit ... not to mention one I myself need to work on.
5. Get into a lifestyle of spending secret prayer time with God, reading His Word, and praising and thanking Him at night for everything you did that day that brought glory to Him.

Coming here was a great first step and you have been given some good advice. One thing I would suggest is accountability. Find someone you trust and respect and become accountability partners. It really helps you think before you do anything you might regret.

Toastedoats, to have the desire to quit what you had been indulging is the very first step to get out from any form of addiction. I'm not sure the degree of seriousness of the sexual sins that you are involved in and what type of lifestyle you are living. The next thing I would suggest you to do is to start submitting yourself to the Lord. Draw close to Him and take a step at a time. Read the Bible and pray often. Get someone to pray along with you as you walk through these times. That's how I overcome my sexual sins but of course, there are more than one way and there are other ways which you are more comfortable with. I'm just sharing with you what I do to quit from this.Toastedoats said:

I am also new to this web site, however i have been a christian for many years. I have also struggled sexually with a number of situations, and my imagination. I learned many years ago that all sexual sin is as bad as the other, it is all sin. I guess in all things, the answer is in the word. I also think that it helps to have someone you can talk to openly and honestly, to confess your faults, one to another, and pray.
Jms:5:16: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Feel free to reply to me or pm me if you wish to talk it over more with someone who understands you.
