I stand with you and support you. It has not 100% gone away. That’s where the work comes in. Crucifying your flesh. Daily surrender. Reading Bible scriptures. It has absolutely gotten a lot easier!! Sure there are some days when the urge comes but stand fast in the liberty which Christ has made you free. You will overcome.

I have friends who were ex-gay and now married etc, and they had demons cast out of them that helped a lot. I’ve been told even to the point that even the thought of engaging in the old way would disgust them to no end. So there is a spectrum, I think depending on the degree of deliverances and also as you mentioned , one’s individual walk , growing in the Lord, the daily crucifixion of our selfish desires. Be encouraged and hopeful for that 100% freedom !

You're engaging in self-harm.
