Considering the influence of urges, their main purpose is to pull you outside the sphere of God’s will in order to keep you bound, powerless, and defenseless in their enslaving reality, which is the realm of perpetual defeat and bondage. 

Mainly because one of the things that urges to indulge in watching porn ultimately does is to weaken your defense and resistance system against this vice, thus sending you in a downward spiral.

Your Biggest Hindrance 

The most disturbing aspect of going through an annoying moment in which you are experiencing an intense urge toward indulgence after several successful days of abstinence is to find something palpable as such urge is on the side of resistance to hold unto in order to reverse it.

In other words, you cannot really find something perfectly in line with that urge that can work immediately just as much as indulgence does in terms of providing relief.

The issue here is that you cannot really get something lying within the sphere of sensation of such urge that can release an instant impact to counteract it head-to-head in order to quickly subdue it before things get out of control; in other words, to quench it as swiftly as possible in order to keep you steadfast in the will of God.

This is precisely why indulgence tends to be the most reasonable and instant alternative based on the reality of the situation.

That’s also the main reason you and I tend to find ourselves much more lenient toward indulgence than resistance in this type of situation since it offers us something that is perfectly in line with the nature of the urge.

The impression is that we cannot really get our hands around something that can penetrate the very area the urge is coming from in order to quickly reverse it just to get rid of the intrusive thoughts harassing our mind and the feeling of annoyance disturbing our physical body that demand us to act now.

In short, we cannot get something that can instantly get us out of the state of demand we are in setting our system on the indulgence mode.

No Shortcut Miracle

Well, the truth is that there isn’t always a shortcut miracle to that issue that can bring you rapid relief to bring you back to a state of normalcy in which such urge and its influence can be fully gone.

In some cases, things will get out of hand both mentally and physically as the urge to give in increases and lingers; in other words, things will worsen as your mind becomes completely overrun by all the crazy and vivid porn flashbacks, thus strengthening the intent of indulgence.

That’s when even porn scenes that you probably had no interest in prior to that start to impose themselves on you as things that you have to go and rewatch to refresh them in your memory bank.

The good news is that if you stick on God Almighty by holding firmly unto His truth all the way through by allowing the urge for instant gratification to be starved, the growing pressure will eventually fade away.

It may take a while depending how intense it was at first, but it will finally subside.

We Give In At The Pivotal Point

The problem is that in many cases, we indulge in at the exact moment the urge has either dissipated or started to dissipate because we had already made up our mind about doing so at some point during the process to achieve our desired aim regardless of the outcomes.

We become unable to switch gears from the indulgence mode we were on to resistance because of being so caught up with the reality lying on the side of indulgence that our system had already been so thirsty of.

Our system has become so messed up by the repeated strikes of such urge, we feel that the only thing that can fix it by filling in the supposed need we feel is indulgence.

The central point here is to see yourself beyond the current moment. It’s time that you start nurturing a mindset based on getting past the pressure of the current moment instead of seeing yourself getting stuck in it forever.

The Unwillingness To Let Go

Your ongoing struggles with porn addiction have been marked mostly by the sheer unwillingness to let go until you get to achieve this or that through the flesh.

To recapitulate on the dominant thoughts going through the mind, they are as followed:

► I just cannot make any move on the side of stopping this habit as for now untill I get to watch, enjoy this or that…, just feel free to fill in the gap.

► I just don’t feel like doing it…

► I’ve set a timeline regarding when I’m planning on taking drastic action, but I cannot make any move earlier than that because my mind has already been locked up on what I’m trying to get prior to this timeline.

► My mind has already been set up on indulgence in this critical and desperate moment, I just don’t feel like reconsidering it.

The key here to break the back of this habit is to let go whatever porn has to offer you in a given moment has by embracing God.

Learn to let go…

The Feeling That I Cannot Leave It Behind

Living life is similar to a long journey you’ve been on. This habit has becomes a major component of that journey upon which you’ve been relying so heavily to get through some moments deemed unpleasant and challenging.

You’ve developed such a strong dependence and attachment to it to the extent that you feel that you won’t be able to make it on that journey without it.

The impression you’ll have regarding quitting is that you just cannot leave it behind. You won’t be able to live life with such reality.

You won’t be able to move forward without the mental and emotional support indulgence has been providing you all along.

But the truth is that you have to be willing to make that journey with God alone by doing what you feel that you are unable to do.

This habit along with all it has to offer must be left behind.
