reset, rebuild

My dear friend in Christ,I just have to thankyou for your great demonstration of honor,integrity and humility in posting this.What you have done is raise the standard way back up to where I believe Jesus Christ would expect it to be for folks living in holiness.How many times have I seen others take a peek at P,edge just a bit, just enough to feel a sense of relief and not O and after all this come back on here and expalin to the sub that they don't feel they should reset. Like we were discussing a week or so ago,the definition of sin has recently been readjusted to allow us the least amount of discomfort as we indulge ourselves in our preferred sins of choice.

I have so recently felt bludgeoned by my willful plunge back into the cesspool that I am still shattered to a high degree.Why should I be you may ask,are you not an addict?Is this not characteristic of addict behaviour? Were you not simply doing what comes naturally? Of course,the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes! Still,blue,it's the breaking of covenant with God,you folks and myself that still stings....and well it should.I had quite literally abandoned my discipline with fully intent and a rebellious heart.It was not momentary 'slip',it was a willfull act of rebellion which I had planned for several days ANDF,without the firm exhortation of a brother on this sub,only God knows how long I would have tried to cover my sins with the fig leaves of a false reddit username...Sin is death in every direction and the sting of death is the Law...I won't forget soon what I did before God and my brothers and sisters.For this,I am thankful.I want to remember by looking closely at the scars this has left as a reminder of the price it costs to disobey.

You are blessed that your lapse was fairly brief and that the bonds you have formed kept it from becoming far worse..I know a fapstronaut or two of late that had relapses and still have yet to come back on this sub and I can only speculate what is happening to them.Our pride takes a much needed beating when this happens...some folks simply seem constitutionally incapable of the necessary humility this NoFap discipline requires.

I am so thankful you are ok and still flying with us in formation,blue.

May the Lord make His hace to shine upon you and grant you His blessed peace. Stay strong,bro,let's do this:)
