It's several months since I left anything here. Continually failing to stop this sinful habit.
15 April 2008. Succumbed again.

Still free. All credit to God. I can't do this without His helping me through it.

Keep it up, guitarist.
It seems that we're struggling in similar ways. It has been a long time since I looked at porn, and I rejoice in that incomplete victory that God has given me. But, like you, I still battle with lust and masturbation, and I sometimes lose that battle. But we can both overcome in Christ. He will not abandon you.
Countratulations on your recent victories.
I sincerely believe that if you put your faith in God, he will give you the strength to overcome this.
I pray that you have the strength to turn to him in times of temptation.

Thanks for your encouragement, Dejarlo.
Yet last night I didn't keep my focus on God but let the flesh play.

guitarist, this is my comfort...
Romans 7:14-25
14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. 17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 20 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
keep on with the fight dear brother.

Succumbed again, 6th day today since last.
Does it matter how many days it is? If I am abstinent for the next 55 years until I reach 100 and then have a go, doesn't that commit the same sin as if I abstain for six days? One sin in a lifetime will send me to hell and it could be any number, not just sexual ones.
