Please pray for me George Friday, April 1, 2011

Question:

Brother,

Please pray that someday I will be able to overcome temptations of the flesh. Specifically pornography. Sometimes I'm tempted so much late at night I can't sleep and I get worried I will not be able to perform at my job. I've only been able to resist once when this happened. I prayed and resisted all night long and the next time I was so tired I just gave in. I have not given into despair although i do get a little sad and down on myself. I go to confession sometimes once a week even though it is so darn embarrassing. I think it is part physiology, part my stubborn will and part the devil. I don't know who I have to forgive still for freedom or who I have not forgiven completely yet. But I would appreciate your advise and any prayers. Priests have told me this will get easier as I get older but will never go away. Thank you and God bless.

Dear George:

I would recommend that you join our Catholic Support Group for Sexual Addiction Recovery. We were the very first Catholic support group on the Internet on this subject.

In that support group are many helps and strategies on how to deal with this. We have a 20 Steps to Ensure a Pure Heart and Mind. Following these steps will go a long way to healing.

We will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
