Help? Hard addiction struggle - only losing fate	Jonatan	Sunday, March 9, 2008
Question: Help? I am Porn, masturbation, game,TV/movie addict. What ever i am doing, i find a way to commit a sin. I am struggling. Maybe you won't understand, but day without porn is miracle for me. I have to write much on computer, so I have many oportunities to check out web. Priest said that I must get more busy. Actually I am, but cose of games and other bad things I am not doing, what I have to. I know, that I should pray, but there is a problem. Tehnically i know hov to do it, but no matter hov often I do it, after a wile it gets boring. In last days I feal that i am losing the rest of my fate. I feel really bad, I think i have a depression. Almost every week I go to konfess in the same sins. I think the priest is getting disappointed and thinks that i am soft. I feel shame to go to church and I am thinking about not doing it, but I realise, that It would not be solution at all. I really think, that even if you are not believer, porn, masturbation is wrong. So I went today to church and started one more week of fighting, but I am totally tired.

Question:

Help? I am Porn, masturbation, game,TV/movie addict. What ever i am doing, i find a way to commit a sin. I am struggling. Maybe you won't understand, but day without porn is miracle for me.

I have to write much on computer, so I have many oportunities to check out web. Priest said that I must get more busy. Actually I am, but cose of games and other bad things I am not doing, what I have to.

I know, that I should pray, but there is a problem. Tehnically i know hov to do it, but no matter hov often I do it, after a wile it gets boring. In last days I feal that i am losing the rest of my fate. I feel really bad, I think i have a depression.

Almost every week I go to konfess in the same sins. I think the priest is getting disappointed and thinks that i am soft. I feel shame to go to church and I am thinking about not doing it, but I realise, that It would not be solution at all.

I really think, that even if you are not believer, porn, masturbation is wrong. So I went today to church and started one more week of fighting, but I am totally tired.
