I’ve been taking this struggle seriously for a while. AMA about what has helped

Informal AMA

Been trying to take this whole struggle more seriously instead of just going through the same cycle over and over.

For me what has helped most is combining the spiritual side with some practical stuff too.

Prayer, Scripture, figuring out my triggers, changing what I do when a lust hits, staying off my phone late at night and using an adult content blocker plus some recovery tools.

I used to think I just needed to pray harder and be more disciplined, but I am realizing I also need to actually remove some of the easy paths back into the habit.

Still figuring things out, but this approach has helped me a lot more than just counting days and hoping I stay strong.

If anyone wants to ask about urges, recovery stuff, routines, prayer, guilt, late nights or anything else around this, AMA.

Would also be interested to hear what has helped you guys.
