Hello kings, back for a short post.

Anyone still struggling with ((porn and gooning)) will know the despair that comes with it. You come up with all kinds of methods to stop yoinking. You might even plan out your entire day in advance to leave no room for the devil's iconography. But it is ultimately to no avail. You repent but it happens day after day and it corrodes you inside and out. The only way out? Realizing nothing can save you from your sinful nature but the Lord's Grace. You need to stop trying to fight the addiction by yourself. Reflect for a moment; if you fell for the sin once, how would you ever be able to prevent it the next time?

>Romans 3:11 | No man seeks God and nobody understands.

Nobody goes from being a degenerate masturbator one day to becoming a saint the next. You can't follow a 'no-fap' program to suddenly be of good moral character. The struggle against the enemy is more slow-paced and about 'accuracy' than you think. What I'm saying is, you have to follow Christ in every aspect of your life in order to come closer to the Father and to receive the Holy Spirit.

Simply cutting off things that could potentially cause you to relapse isn't enough. Nor is having faith in your prayers to overcome lust; every time you trespass against the Father you are actually cutting yourself off from the Helper more and more until even the 'easiest-to-avoid' sins become as heavy burdens upon you. And I'm sure you know that lust is not easy to avoid.

So, alongside having faith, do works that speak of God, and the Helper will be drawn to you. Christ has promised the Holy Spirit to all who follow Him and believe in Him. And when you are in this state of Grace, you will be free from your sin.

So some practical advice: if you can't do so already, learn to recognize your feelings and impulses. After that, when you notice you feel a desire for porn or sexual release, don't fight it or stuff it away, you have to let it pass by without giving in. One way to achieve this is to learn something like the following

 take one hand,

make a fist,

stick out your thumb and your pinky,

press your thumb against your left nostril,

breath in through your right nostril,

remove your thumb from your nose,

place your pinky on your right nostril,

breath out through your left nostril,

breath in through your left nostril,

remove pinky from right nostril,

place thumb on left nostril,

breath out through right nostril.

 Repeat this alternating pattern, it take some focus so it diverts the brain away from the desire.

Then, figure out why you want porn, likely it's loneliness or boredom
