What about the Blue Film happening live daily in streets and malls??! I'm talking about indecent near-naked dressings among ladies!

You have to get use to those one on the street. Each time you see them just say " get behind me DEVIL"

No need to push your beliefs on people, there is no right or wrong way to get sex

How Did You Feel After You Finally Defeated That Stubborn Addiction?

Addictions are really something else. They could be very devastating and depressing.

I remember a story a friend shared with me concerning his addiction to alcohol. It so wrecked his life to the point, his wife would be crying profusely, because she saw the damage it was doing to her husband, yet she seemed so helpless, being unable to do anything to remedy his situation.

But God delivered the man from his addiction so he was no longer addicted to alcohol when he shared his experience with me, however, he said because of what it had done to him, he would never go near anything alcohol but steer well clear so as not to repeat the same experience.

My own stubborn addictions were masturbation and pornography which seemed to go hand in hand, as I couldn't stay away from porn, and if I watched porn, I usually end up masturbating as that seemed to be end result.

My addiction to pornography was as though it had a glueing effect on me. Once I started watching it, to stop was almost impossible. I could watch porn for 24 hours non-stop, it used to keep me awake all night as well. There was a time after watching it for a lengthy and extended period, my eyes became much swollen and turned red as if I had "Apollo". It was also bringing out water.

However I didn't seem to have much issue with the addiction to porn at the time, but my grouse appeared to be with masturbation. Even when I wasn't saved but still just a church-going sinner, I had become fed up with masturbation to the point I was praying seriously for God to deliver me from the habit, because it was getting too much in my opinion and turning out to be a huge burden. I just felt it wasn't worth all the stress, even though it brought some short-lived excitement.

The worst part was that it still continued even after I repented and made the decision to follow Jesus. If I hated masturbation even while yet a sinner that I had to cry out to God for help, how much more after I got saved?

I can recount how many times I literally cried unto God to deliver me from that bad habit. I just believed I couldn't afford to be struggling with such a vice while preaching His Gospel to men cause I felt I needed to be a good example and practice what I preached. Moreover the last thing I wanted was to give the devil was some access into my life or a loophole to exploit and do damage, which was what the addiction seemed to be giving him, as i found myself being attacked and occasionally having sex in dreams which wasn't supposed to happen, but there nothing I could do to prevent it.

But that was then, because God has long given me victory over that stubborn addiction, that up til today, It still amazes me the wonderful job that God has done for me, because I know the kind of serious battle it was before I got set free.

The difference between where I was then and now is very glaring, because then, all it took to trigger the urge and get me back to square one after managing to abstain for a while, was just a sight of a nude woman's picture, a times not even up to that, and the devil seems to be using that against me.

But now It no longer works as it doesn't matter the amount of nude women pictures the devil brought across my way, like he was doing on my Facebook page at some point, bringing them in the guise of people I may know, it doesn't move me at all. He seemed to give up at some point after he noticed it wasn't working as it used to, as it completely stopped after a while.

It feels really great to finally have the upper hand I dearly craved over the addiction that held me bound for such a long time. For this I remain so grateful to God.

God bless.

Thanks for sharing this. So, what exactly happened. How did it happened. What did you do that got you free from that addiction. What made the difference from the other times you have tried to quit unsuccessfully

That's what we all thought until our wives started using sex as a weapon and starving us. Using marriage as a route to free and unlimited sex is a lie.

You gave her the weapon(dont always show a woman you really love sex). Back in the university days, I learnt that women don't like giving sex to guy that wants it rather they give it to guys who don't want it or you are not satisfying her the way she wants it. Without woman squirting, you are just wasting your energy on her.

You must know how to keep your wife in her lane.

The man remains the head of the family. Love her but add discipline into the love.

Women don't like weak or SIMPle man naturally.

Learn to spend time with friends more than her and by so doing you are giving her gift of miss.

Show your kids love more than her and watch her reaction.

Last but not be least, don't let your wife see you finish. Don't be predictable. Remember she was once a stranger before you brought her into you life.

I endured the nagging and complains my body was giving me ... but then I found IGBO (arizona) ... smoked that shit for years until one day I decided to fight it ... [b]only becasue it was writing my existence into dark places and I didnt want to be that guy... [/b]that is always slacking and lost in thier own world of bliss and satisfaction when the world around you is moving at breakneck speed...yeah that guy.

So I quit ... my life has improved without it so I know I am on an upward trajectory.

How'd you do it?
I usually bet online and virtual play, it got to a point the betting app started giving me voucher, I thought to myself, maybe I should cultivate the habit of betting only with vouchers given (this voucher was given once in a month) hence, it reduced my staking frequency. Months later the app stopped giving voucher when they realized that i don't deposit again and I got bored too and stopped betting in general.
It was amazing realizing I could stay 4months without opening my bet account

from personal experience, it does make you lose track and if you are high always, you might just feel like chilling when you should be grinding.

It helped my creativity and my anxiety a lot, and it was a useful tool to kill time in a stretch but ultimately I had to face reality and it wasnt pretty. Wish I could get back the years I wasted smoking weed daily from that wonderful early morning smoke till that middle of night puff. And the strange phenomenon of dreamless sleeps. Kai arizona...if you dey smoke weed



quit.

I was addicted to Alcoholism, Betting and Masturbation, but to the Glory of God I'm free from them all. I struggled with them but was unable to overcome them. when I least expected God did it in a miraculous way. I hate those acts with passion and I'm fully restored. Glory to God!

My sister in-law died on January after battling for unknown sickness that no medical both govt and private can fathom, I drank to stupor.

I took 2medium bottles of LORD dry him, 2medium bottles of Mackdowe whiskeyl and 7 bottles of HERO LARGER BEER.

I nearly vomited blood but poo on myself �

My wife was little disappointed but I had to swore never to taste alcohol again to make up for my shameful mistakes.

God has been my strength since January.

I now took soft drinks.

If I see people taking anything whiskey it will look as a poison to me.

I pray for this to last forever.

Alcohol can make u so useless oo.

It can make u to be careless in savings, it can make u to always do things of regret like womanizing...
I HAVE BEEN LIBERATED
Wow! Thank God for your victory over alcohol addiction.

I pray God perfects and makes it permanent in your life. In Jesus name. Amen!

You are addicted to something
Addiction doesn't mean u must do it everyday.
Even if it's once a month you do it, you are still addicted.
Might be porn, masturbation, fornication, internet, drug or sex


I eat food everyday, I guess I’m addicted to food. Sexual relief is a need, just like food
