It feels like longer, and I've only been slipping farther into my problem.
I just don't know what to do any more.
I can cry bitterly with remorse and shame, and the next day be even worse.
Perhaps it's that I'm under a lot of stress lately, and both my "accountability partner" and I haven't been able to find time to really talk much, and when we do no one really wants to bring up the subject.
I want to be better, but it's so much easier just to give in and then forget about it.
I feel terrible.

Hello, Freshcookies
Welcome back. I share your disappointment over less progress than you had wanted to see in five months, but m. is hard to overcome. Be gentle with yourself when you have fallen, and be persistent in seeking freedom. Will pray for you.

Hi, Freshcookies,
I went back and read your other posts so I would know a little where you're coming from. Thanks for coming on and sharing. If you are able, could you update us a little about what's going on? Do you still have the same boyfriend? Does "sinking deeper" mean more of the same or are you getting into other areas of addiction?
Love and prayers,
Journey

hi freshcookies,
i wish i could tell you something that would help make matters easier for you, but the only thing i can say is that you are not alone. sexual sin can have a powerful pull on people who are tempted by it. with time and prayer hopefully your situation will improve. i will be in prayer for you.

I have struggled with pornography for about 15 years. The good Lord has revealed many biblical truths to me through my struggle.
I know that the material on this website will be a blessing to you. It is not like others out there.

Thanks to all of you. Your support and prayers mean a lot.
First I'll confess that i've already slipped this week. It seems like it's the same every time. I'm tempted, I know I'll regret it, I give in, and I feel horrible and try to remember that feeling so I won't give in next time, but it seems I always do.
Journey - Yes, I'm still with my boyfriend. When I say sinking deeper, I mean that since I was here last it's gradually gotten worse. In the beginning I would M less frequently, and it got more frequent, and I started reading erotica again and even looking at porn more than I used to. Finally I decided it couldn't go on like that any more. A few times I prayed for forgiveness and strength, but I guess I need more accountability than that, so I came back here.
Shedlight - Thanks for the website, I'll check it out.
