"Bro what's really wrong with me? I really try to avoid it but i can't! Remember last time i had promised i would not do it again but this morning the urge was too strong, i couldn't resist it and i did it. Man, i feel disgusted about myself. I guess I am a sexual pevert, i don't think i will ever change- what's the point of overcoming this if i will keep falling back to it?"
I could hear frustration in his voice and we had experienced a similar conversation together before(This was becoming routine). It was like he was stuck in the addiction cycle and he felt he couldn't break free.
What he really didn't fully appreciate was that recovery was a journey therefore it could not be rushed. Relasping was part of the recovery process. After many years of indulging in his sexual habit his brain had become "rewired" and the nueral pathways strengthening his behavioir had been established. He had lost the controll of his own will.However the recovery process would attempt to "rewire" his brain- and that would take time. He just needed to accept his struggle and keep on fighting.
Fighting sexual addiction can be discouraging. That is why you need support.
FBV Phil 3:12-14: "Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect— but I run so that I might win what was won for me by Christ Jesus. My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me. I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus." FBV
Don't give up, keep on fighting!
