  • Install a filter. Put your computer in a public place (in the hallway etc.). Pray more fervently. Make a journal. Tell your FOC, and ask if for the time being you can have even more frequent confessions (such as every 2 weeks).
  • dont keep ur computer in ur room! thats dangerous when u have time alone. make sure ppl r a round  u when ur online and once u feel like ur gonna look at a pic just get down and pray immediately w/o any thought! also if u can, install a cursor that is a cross so whenever u click on something u will remember God is there=)

    my big bro still has this problem too

    God bless and please p4m i really need prayers
  • Thank You guys so much, i really appreciate it, already working on some of these advice. Remember me in your prayers.
  • Dear Copt4eva,

    All the advice you have received is good for you, but you have to find a way of not wanting to look at such things when you are on your own.

    I wonder if the following might help?

    1. Remember that the women in the photographs are some one's sister and some one's daughter; don't disrespect them just because for some reason they have been driven to disrespect themselves. Help them by not looking or clicking on the sites. If everyone did that these sites would vanish.

    2. How would you feel if your mother or father knew you were looking at such things? Well, the blessed Theotokos, your mother in God, knows; your Heavenly Father knows, so don't cause them the distress you would not cause to your earthly parents.

    3. You are a son of God, your body the temple of the Holy Spirit; do not defile your body by such things - or those of other children of God.

    Remember such sites pollute your mind and your spirit, and they can damage you in ways you don't yet know. What will your relationship with your wife be like if your views on women are formed by looking at such sites?

    You are in my prayers,

    Above all - remember that fighting temptation is the way of the Lord.

    In Christ,

    Anglian

    also, there was a story about a boy who couldnt stop cursing, so everytime he cursed his father told him to put a nail on a tree, and day after day, it dropped fewer and fewer, and finally there was none, the tree  of coarse had lots of marks, this is what we do to Christ  when we sin. God always knows what u r doing, if ur sinning, just picture God in the room-- even though u dont see him, he is there, with u at all times, even whn u fall.[quote author=Biscutt link=topic=5971.msg79930#msg79930 date=1196647227]

  • my FOC said to me to do mitanis ( the bowing down thing we do when a bishop comes) at least 50 times and soon the desire for it will go away this works

    God bless all
