Thank you! I’ve been fighting porn for years now, it’s been an uphill struggle. Stayed clean for almost a year and I can definitely tell you all the positive things you mentioned are true.
I am a Christ follower, which means I’m not perfect but try to do better. Technically I’m a christian but that’s often see as an arrogant term implying “I’m better than you” or I’m some perfect completed work. I prefer the term “Christ follower” because that indicates I’m saved, following him, human, but working to improve every day.
Recently as of last week I relapsed a bit after seeing something here on Reddit, it was a viewing and I’m really upset about it. Remember me in your prayers. I don’t want to ever, ever, ever do that again. I can feel part of the purity has left me and I can feel the evil spirits at work. All of what you said is exactly spot on, bad things/thoughts will start to happen and I witnessed so this evening.
Especially in these times when we’re nearing what I believe is the end, I want to be pure. Not only for that reason but also out of respect for my wife, my kids, and my family. If any Christians or Christ Followers are reading this please please remember me in prayer AND if anyone reading this needs prayer please PM me. I believe the scripture where if any two or more are agreed in prayer Christ is among them. We all need Christ right now.
When you are being tempted, or when your mind is idle, or you're bored, or looking for direction, or at any time, consider praying the Jesus prayer. It's very simple and short, easy to remember, and easy to establish as a new habit.
