Don't give up and I'm sure you will be rewarded.

Thank you Willow. I have noticed that i am becoming stronger spiritually now. Although i was feeling pretty low, just after i got ex'ed. Satan had a good hold of me at that time. I will say though. Last week i was at work and i was praying. I got really upset and started to almost get angry at Heavenly Father. I told him alot of the stuff that was getting at me. I even told him that he could do what he wanted with me as i didnt care anymore. After a few days, i realised that, that is what he had wanted me to do. I feel so much more free and i love him even more now, if thats even possible.

I will understand, if you wish to put restrictions on me and will gladly follow them. All i want is to be is part of the church and to talk to members. As i said, i will follow any restrictions you wish to impose.

Thank you

I'd respond to your post but I have standards - I don't talk to ex-Mormons, arsonists, vegans, Norwegians, or philatelists.

And Snow is kidding. You have to understand his sense of humor.

I completely understand. I wouldnt talk to Norwegians either. Terrible people. Not the kind of people i would want around me. Bad bad people. Very judgemental as well and they also like to gossip. Im just telling you what i heard, but you can tell by just looking at them.

Thanks Pam. Yes i guessed it was a joke.

Its his own personal shame. I wont judge him. He may be Norwegian, but he cant be all bad.

Hi Lost One. I have the same problem. But I guess I'm too young to be ex'ed for it. (almost 18) I really admire you for wanting to change. I'm not going to lie...This sin is NOT an easy one to go "cold turkey" on. It will get harder before it gets easier. There will be times when you will want to go back to your old habbits more than anthing. Read your scriptures and pray often. It helps alot. Your not alone. This filth destroys more lives than any addiction on the planet. You are in my prayers Lost One.

Thanks LostSheep. Im actually in the recovery stage, but as with any addiction, thinking your over it is the first step to getting sucked back in.

People might not agree with this, but i do feel that addiction to porn is just as bad as addiction to alcohol or drugs. You never trully recover. Its always there. Forget that at your peril. I know my weakness. I also know the triggers. I just need to keep myself ahead of it and never let it get me again. As with alcoholics, one drink and there done for. Same with porn or any other evil.
