Are You Ready Conquer Lust?
So many times in life, we just wear a mask
Hiding our true identity
Portraying ourselves to be happy when we truly aren’t
This especially happens on social media or when surrounded by peers
We have been so attuned to do such
That we are hiding who we truly are
Behind closed doors, we have secret addictions that hold us back
It can range from a number of things, whether it’s drugs, lust, social media etc
I was that guy
I’ve battled and overcame many addictions
But there was one that felt like it was impossible to stop
Being addicted to lust
So many failed marriages and relationships from this alone
I realized the damage I was causing
I couldn’t stand myself
I had to peel back the layers and do some deep diving
I realized this was a coping mechanism that I used to numb myself from pain
With that recognition, I was able to conquer lust
Learning about sperm retention and the benefits of it has made me stronger minded
The longer I go without, the stronger I am
Which reminds me on how weak minded I was once
I’ve came a long way
Some could say its been a journey
But I realized how crucial this is for us men
Porn has caused me so many problems which led me to questioning my identity
All these thoughts could have been avoided if I wasnt so addicted to lust
& I know how complicated it can be
Even when you aren’t watching porn
The temptation will always be there
Whether you go on social media or out in the real world
Having those thoughts are unavoidable when you are constantly watching porn
The longer i’ve been without it, the more stronger minded I have been
I can keep eye contact, I don’t feel as rattled when i’m out in public
I feel more calm and peace at myself
It’s almost as if I have more clarity on who I am as a person
I’ve never been more comfortable in my life
This is why it’s crucial to avoid the P word
It’s no wonder why all these woman in the world feel the need to be in constant competition
Instead of supporting each other
Too many men are guilty of it whether they want to admit it or not
If you truly love somebody, you wouldn’t want to hurt them right?
I know some would automatically assume its that easy to stop
But its not
This is why we need to get to the root of your problem
The majority of the time, it’s not as easy as most people would think
Nobody knows your story
Nobody knows what you been through
Nobody knows how badly you want to stop but just can’t
If it were that simple then I’m sure this wouldn’t be such an ongoing issue
As somebody who has been through it all
I understand your journey
I understand the feeling of the odds being stacked against you
I understand the feeling of being a failure
But guess what?
You’re are not
The fact that you are even entertaining this, shows that you actually want to change
It shows that you are willing to take a look in the mirror and do some deep diving
Whether you realize you have a problem or not
If you are participating in these acts daily
Then you have a problem
It all starts with you acknowledging that
