I'm blessed to be able to say I have not given in to lust since 25 days ago (January 18). I'll admit I have turned my head a few times when a woman walked by, but I have been given the grace to turn my head away. I realize I'll still be drawn to look because it's so ingrained in me, but I'm praying that I will keep turning away immediately, and that gradually I won't feel nearly the same amount of pull as my sobriety increases.

Welcome Rom517mm

You're in a good place to receive help and encouragement.  You must know Job 31, verse 1 "I made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I think upon a maid?"

Thank you. Yes, I am aware of that verse, and I certainly don't plan to look at women like that. I will pray that verse and ask God to help me keep my eyes on good things.
