• 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 have recently returned to Christ after some years of being an atheist. I had quit watching porn and other such things and I thought I had overcome my lust.

Sadly, I have not.

I sometimes talk to a Christian woman at work during lunch and for the past couple of days she inadvertantly did something immodest and I lusted after her. I know I am accountable for my own sin but is there a tactful way I could say something to her. She is a Christian woman and wouldn't do anything like that on purpose.

Please don't berate me. I know this is my issue but is there anything I could say?

Honestly, it is not really your place to say something. It kind of depends what she did, but unless it is something really inappropriate, you should let it go and focus on yourself. If something needs to be said because she keeps doing it, find a woman in your Christian circle that can gently let her know that she inadvertently is being immodest.
